The Not-So Earth Friendly Baby :(

I remember being pregnant and telling people that I was planning on using cloth diapers. I had gotten a recommendation that they are much more modern and easy to use--you just have to make the investment and pay the $15 a diaper price tag. After doing a little research, I found that you will change approximately eight thousand diapers per child; so, even though, the initial investment is steep, you end up saving money in the long run. Plus, I thought it was only fair that I go the extra mile in laundry for mother earth.
Neighbors, friends and relatives all asked me to let them know how long it was before Liam was in disposables. The answer is one day! It is not because Steve and I were lazy and didn't like the messiness or extra laundry--unfortunately, they haven't worked yet. I figured laundering his diaper, his clothes, my clothes, and the couch upholstery was worse for the environment than one disposable diaper. I haven't given up on them yet. I am still hoping that he will grow and they will stop leaking.


In honor of earth day, I wanted to show everyone these cute disposable diapers that Melissa, Kitty and my sister were all kind enough to invest in for us. They really are stylish and come in great colors. So, even if they are not as earth friendly as Al Gore would have liked, they might be in for Heidi Klum.
