The Cloth Diaper Diaries: Week *mumble mumble*
Okay, so it's been a while. Apparently, having a 6 month-old baby is distracting, or something. Who knew?I've been using cloth diapers for about 2 months now. We're absolutely loving it over here- both my husband and I are very happy we made the switch. We're super-proud to show off our little girl'

Adventures in Parenting: The Nursery
Like many excited parents-to-be, my husband and I put a great deal of effort into making our nursery the perfect space for our baby. We have many of the nursery staples- a dresser that doubles as a changing table, a crib, a glider and ottoman. My husband spent hours meticulously decorating the walls

Adventures in Parenting: Sleep
Rosie is about 5 ½ months old, and still not sleeping through the night. Some nights aren't too bad- last night, she only woke up twice, and went back to sleep with a little bit of rocking. Some nights are kinda' bad- Saturday night, she woke up 7 times, and did not want to go back to sleep without

Not a whole lot happened the past few days. We continued using cloth diapers- the gDiapers and a couple all-in-ones (AIOs) I got from eBay. This is really easy on weekends, when my husband helps out. I think he's starting to get excited about this, too. I know I am- we're definitely making the switc

The Cloth Diaper Diaries: Day 3
Not a whole lot of excitement for Day 3. I only had a few clean inserts left, so we used disposables the rest of the day. I took some time to do a bit more research, and try to figure this cloth stuff out.

Adventures in Parenting: Teething
My little girl, Rosalyn, is about 4 ½ months old. She's been a bit out of sorts the past few days. She's been fussy, and not sleeping well. She's been biting down on my nipples when she eats- quite forcefully. The only thing that calmed her down was chewing on something cold- a wet washcloth, a chi
