Cloth Diapers, Nursery Progress, & Other Domestic Updates

September 5, 2011

Contrary to the way my I have portrayed myself, I don’t actually sit around watching TV day in and day out. The arrival of a baby to this house has actually awoken my hibernating nesting instinct! So here are some domestic updates for you, aka boring things that I’m now excited about. Meredith is wearing cloth diapers now! At a little over ten pounds, she finally fits into her small Fuzzibunz. She’s been wearing them for about a week now and I love it SO much. I was worried about the transition, but it has been extremely easy!

Good Things: August

September 1, 2011

August has been an excellent month. I didn’t have to work at all, got so much done around the house, and made lots of progress on this whole motherhood thing.
