Before our son was born, my husband and I got into the idea of cloth diapers even though most of our friends and family put it down. Maybe you are here because you are intimidated like we were. You like the idea of using cloth diapers and are interested in finding out more about how they work,…
Good enough to do this
Emily here! What a crazy month August has shaped up to be. We started off by celebrating my little guy’s 1st birthday. I have a lot of mixed feelings about his celebration, mostly because they all stem from the kinds of things that make the following phrase enter your mind: “I am not good enough to…
An Accidental Update
Sooooo…it’s been a while. A very LONG while. *Bad bloggers. Bad bad bloggers* Loads of things have happened since we last checked in! Things are still happening too, so there won’t be much in terms of Before and After so much as it will be Before and During. Life is a work in progress after…
