In amongst my intro I mentioned that I cloth diaper...these are NOT your mom's diapers!!! New brands and styles are here making it easier than ever...I'll try not to preach but i LOVE it...its better for the environment, better for baby and better for your wallet!
Today was 'The Great Cloth Diaper Change Event' (http://greatclothdiaperchange.com/) where people all around the world attempted to set a Guiness World Record for number of simultaneous cloth diaper changes. We participated at Nurture in Ardmore, PA (http://www.shopnurture.com/) - a great store where we bought some of our cloth diapers - hubby wanted to "see them" before "seeing them" if you know what I mean...
It was great to see so many babies and in cloth diapers to boot!
Its funny that I get all excited about this considering the last few weeks...DS will be 2 on friday (where did the time go!?!?!?) and is definitely growing up. His vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds as well as his independence and comprehension of things...
Which leads to the irony of today...about 3 weeks ago, DS turned to DH and I as we were preparing for bed and calmy said "poopoo"...we'd bought a potty so that we would be prepared for this eventuality but thought it was several months away...we asked if he had gone and he replied that he hadn't so we didn't think much of it...but he insisted...so we finally thought to ask if he needed to go...Yes! he replied...
We dashed to the potty that we bought just for him and were surprised when he "produced" almost immediately.. we chalked it up to coincidence and tucked him into bed. However, much to our surprise, the next night was a repeat.
We aren't aggressive about this little turn of events, but most nights results in us waving goodbye to something as we flush the toilet...and so...its a little funny and a little sad...I get excited about cloth diaper events just as we might be starting to let them go....
Tomorrow is Easter...we're going fairly traditional for our meal. But leftovers...ah that will result in some recipes...promise!!

Hello and Welcome...
I've been thinking about starting a blog for a few months now...over the coming entries I'll explain how I got here...but since I'm here, and so are you...here's what you'll find...
~~~
A little of this...a little of that...
I'm an attempting-to-be-green mommy of a rambunctious little boy who had me learn quickly about major food allergies, cloth diapering, baby-wearing, co-sleeping and work/life balance
This blog will focus on all these items...I'll try to balance them...but there will be times where certain issues come up more frequently...because each one gives us...Times to Laugh and Cry...
Enjoy!
~~~
Food Allergies - You want'em? We got'em: Dairy, Wheat, Soy, and Eggs!!! It isn't about what we eat either...but thats 95% of it...recipes, recipes, and more recipes - including my failures will be here... I love to modify ones that i find online so you'll see a LOT of commentary here too
Cloth Diapering - Yup - We do it..and they aren't your mom's or grandma's diapers either...hubby and coworker can attest that I can talk for hours (ok minutes) about them...even to complete strangers at the local BRU
Attempting-to-be-Green - Mother Earth will be here longer than we will...so we're making changes where we can to be green (see cloth diapering) as well as loving our local area (thanks to our CSA)
Work/Life Balance - its a struggle, but we do what we can...cut corners where we can and somehow survive to the weekend :-)
Baby wearing and cosleeping - ok...i really won't write about these much if ever...there is so much out there on the web...and these are personal decisions...i'll let you decide...but if you have questions...fire away!
~~~~~~~
Going to back to the work/life balance thing...that means that I'll only have so much time for this blog...i promise to do an entry at least once a week...but sometimes it might be more and sometimes less...forgive me now...i'm a mom first afterall...
