A new adventure

My Dad LOVES adventures. Nothing is a problem only a new adventure. It's really a GREAT way to look at life, challenges, bumps in the road etc. Well I am embarking on a new adventure. Hopefully a money saving adventure, an environmentally friendly adventure. What you may ask just is this adventure??

CLOTH DIAPERING! Yes, that's right, I am starting to cloth diaper Addison. We'll see how it goes. I hope to post daily this first week with my ups and downs, failures and successes. I have 24 prefold indian cotton cloth diapers and 5 waterproof, REALLY cute covers, 24 REALLY CUTE cloth wipes, one wet bag, one clothes line, one bottle of Ecos free laundry detergent, available at your local friendly Ace Hardware, and one baby who is clueless to what her mother is about to do to her.

After washing the new prefolds 5 times in super hot water we are ready to go.

My first attempt at the "Angel fold"

Here she is...all diapered and ready to go. Lets see how much "stuff" leaks out of my first try :) Hopefully NONE!!
