[tiredmomma06]

Ok can you tell that I'm excited???  To those of you who don't know what Miracle Diapers are.  They are an organization who sends cloth diapers around the world.  Based out of Katy, it was started with she (I'm so bad I can't remember her name) realized there was no where for low income families to get help with using cloth diapers.  Almost every food pantry etc has disposable diapers, but no one offered the cloth option.  I've had all 3 in cloth full time since April.  I won Chris over when I broke down the price for him (especially with 3 in diapers).  The twins have NEVER had diaper rash, oh man it's great.  Everyone freaks out, oh man that would be too gross for me.  Well I don't have any probs what so ever.  When the twins had the BFP, I just threw them directly in the washing machine ( I do a load a day, so I just throw them in there to soak).  Now that they are older, it's solid, so I just flush it, then toss in the washer.  Caleb automatically puts his big boy undies in the washer.  Anyways, back to the fluffy mail thing... I got 12 wahmies, 12 inserts, 12 prefolds, 2 covers, and 1 snappi.   I've been able to build up my stash using gift cards etc.  I am SOOOOOO excited.  Oh by the way, my electric bill hasn't changed AT ALL.  We are going to put up a laundry line one of these days.....lol

We cloth diaper, 1/2 the time, here too!  I could only afford one day worth though.  I didn't know about this cool program where you got yours!  We are going to put up retractable clothes lines this summer.  See if we can actually get that electric bill to go down a bit.  And did you know if you put 1/2 a cup of vinagar in your rinse cycle with your cloth diapers it won't get that build up of soap in them, and when you hand them to dry, they'll absorb the sun's bleaching power better.

It sounds like you're doing well, I'm so glad!
