Cloth Diapers

Lately I have been using cloth diapers. I just did the laundry and holy mother they stink so much! It smells like pee. Like that hard and disgusting stench of pee. Now I do love my cloth, I didn't love it so much when I had to share a washing machine with hundreds of residents and other people. It wasn't the fact that I just had my child, but that I had to put him in a stroller, use the basket under the stroller to carry the laundry. I felt like I had two shopping carts I was trying to maneuver. Now that we moved life is so much easier in so many different ways, I don't need to travel upstairs by elevator or baby wearing and I can let the little sleep without bringing him with me because I can't leave him even for a minute by himself. Cloth diapers definitely has a learning curve and there is so much to learn as far as washing, the fit, which brands you like whether it's mainstream or custom and if you don't mind buying used to save even more money. I love saving money. Also I forgot to mention when baby goes #2. Yes there's that. EW right? It is so much better to use the sprayer and SprayPal then dunking and swishing, hand washing avoiding #2. And I can use the set for my cloth pads during menstruation.

If you havent seen a Spray Pal before you can check out my video warning real poo!:

Cooking and Life with my little

Cooking with a little is much different than it used to be when it was just me. I would have cooked it one at a time if I even felt like having a home cooked meal, and no worries about time passing if I didn't feel hungry. Life is much different now in many ways, saving money for 1, going out to eat almost every night because San Francisco had that luxury of having so many diverse restaurants and gems. Now it's cook now and make it for tomorrow, the next day and the day after. I love my child, don't get me wrong, it's just he has a schedule I am getting used to, constantly changing and growing and then there's the picky stage. He will eat but only if it's something he likes. This would be great if he was babbling, meaning bhasidhsdsgalsfka. Yes that's exactly how it sounds to me. So when I make food, I love the fact that you can season it inside a bowl or even easier a Ziploc bag and prepare it later. Oh and my cravings, they get fulfilled but only half assed because I used to just pig out and fulfill every inch of my tongue. Even if it was a taco with chow mein. I love that if I'm missing a piece to the recipe I can also order it on Amazon. Life is much different but I am eating so much healthier. Not to mention it's cold so I don't feel like going out except for taking him out for a walk. It's a nice relaxing bit of exercise with him picking up sticks, rocks and avoiding cigarette butts. Well I'm off to make swedish pancakes. The lingonberry jam from Amazon came.
