Caught Ya

Liza is having some issues with nap time.  Prior to the 5 month mark, I could put up her laundry, get the dirty diapers, or clean up her room while she was napping but now those tasks have to wait till she is awake.   Last week I was attempting to put up her laundry very [...]

Something New

I have a very introspective personality which lends to having a large fear of trying something new.  I become very anxious at the thought of doing something new and about 5,000 fears run through my mind, especially fears of failing.  I would rather stick to one thing no matter how good or bad I am [...]

Lots of Traveling

About two weeks ago, Mark and I went to Dallas to go to two conferences for his job.  We had a great time with my family and learned some pretty interesting things at the conferences.  We became particulary interested in hearing about work being done among refugees in Greece.  For some reason both of us [...]

Maintaining the Diapers

So you are probably wondering what does it take to maintain cloth diapers and how does it work.  I honestly am no expert on this but this is what I do right now.   After I change Liza’s diaper, I put it in the diaper pail, which is really a plastic trash can from Wal-Mart and [...]

Our Stash

I am finally getting around to posting about our recent move to cloth diapers.  The main reason we switched was cost.  After we began to run out of the diapers we were given and began to use credit cards, I realized that it would cost us $40 a month to use disposable diapers.  So I [...]

Blogs

One thing I probably do everyday is read blogs.   I really really enjoy this and could probably call it a hobby of some sort.   I have been trying to figure out why I enjoy it so much.  There are a few reasons but the main one is I so enjoy hearing and learning about how [...]
