I posted this on Facebook yesterday and the even funnier thing is that I got a few emails asking what he was wearing! Ha!!! So...I guess I'll fill you all in - those that don't know me as well as some. I have a pretty "green" side to me....some call it "crunchy" or "earth friendly". My little ones have both worn cloth diapers - I even use cloth wipes. Those pants that Jonas is wearing are recycled wool - yes, his cute little footie pants used to be a sweater. They now have suede bottomed feet, cute fabric on the top of the feet, encased elastic at the ankles and waist and I wash them in woolie wash (a special homemade solution containing lanolin) which makes them yummy smelling and they are kind of waterproof so they work as a diaper cover. Jonas has about 5 pairs of these and has matching shirts for them all - he is quite stylish!
More about my "crunchy" side....I use a lot of homemade items, including laundry soap, disinfectants, all purpose cleaners, lotion, body soap & more! I buy as much as I can from other stay at home moms who work (also known as WAHMs) rather than supporting all the large businesses and overseas markets. And..I must say, WAHM made stuff is so much nicer than store bought items filled with a ton of chemicals - and made with no love!
Ooo - and Facebook - I deactivated my account today. I already have (in no particular order) other sites that are more important to me, this blog, my "business", 2 little ones, a husband, a house, bible study, a small part time job, etc - the last thing I need is to put more on my plate or something to keep me strapped to this chair longer than I already do. Speaking of which...the kids are about done eating their lunch and it is nap time...so off I go!
Wishing you all a day filled with God's blessings - look around - they are everywhere!♥
<----yes, this is a cloth diaper! Ha!!!
