This is how I am feeling right now when I am looking at my blog and attempts to keep a daily record.  I loved looking through what I DID post on here and remembering those times, but I think about how much we have done SINCE then and how MUCH is not posted, and I need to catch up!! BUT, then that means that I was doing what I needed to be doing and that is taking care of my kiddos.

Now that it seems that I have some time on my hands, I am going to do just that...update, and now that I have my handy dandy Blackberry...I can also update as it is going on!!!

Oh how I have some very important things to say and to add!!!!!

Cloth Diapering

As many of you all know, or might not know, I decided to cloth diaper from last 2 and started doing it in July of this year (2010). I had always wanted to cloth diaper every since my oldest (12yo) was a baby, but I never received the support that I needed from whom I thought would have my back. So I put it off. I dabbled with it with my 2nd to oldest (10yo) and once again decided not to do it.

Well 12 years later and I am and I will never look back. I remember one day I stripped my diapers and needed to go and get some detergent that I had heard about and wanted to use (another post). Well anyways, I put it off and ended up going and getting the detergent. Well when I went to the place and buying the detergent and they had only 2 diapers that fit my girls, so I bought those. I was determined not to use disposables every again.

Anyways, I have been looking for other diapers trying to find which ones I really like. I initially went with Babyland because a fellow mommie used those and it seemed fairly easy. So I ordered my set of 30 off of eBay and went to town. I have purchased the old fashion kind, the one my mom used on me and my sister, and I have used those as inserts.

I have been also looking at different brands and their designs. To me, if it jumps out at me the better for me. Well I ran across a company called RagaBabe and let me tell you I love the sharpness of the new diaper coming out. I love the white with the different colored snaps and some of the designs. While they might be a little pricer for the initial cover, I feel that in the log run, it will save me even more time and money because it is just the insert that is being changed and washed, because you can use the diaper cover over and over as long as they are not soiled.

They are having a give away right now and you should go and check it out!! Go to their website www.ragababe.com and check them out. They are not selling yet, but always good to pre-shop, huh?

You can also enter to win a RagaBabe Organic '2-Step diaper. For details go to, http://www.facebook.com/pages/RagaBabe/127158910630142#!/topic.php?uid=127158910630142&topic=274.

Mallorie

I was taken pictures of the loot that I had purchased off of Craigslist and had to take these pictures of my lil Mamu, Moose, Magoo, Ms. Poose (s/l goose only with a "P", MMMK (triple M then K), Malamu, Malibu, and so on..... I just love how she is smiling now for the camera more and more. I love her little curly locks and her sweet innocence. She is my tender heart. Whenever I am, or anyone for that fact, is feeling sad and such..she will come up and kiss you and hug you. She is worse than my little shadow. I can go no where without her and believe me she lets whoever has her know that she just loves her Momma and wants her, but she will go off away from me when she knows that I am in sight of her.

It is amazing how much joy she has brought to this family and how her little personality fits in with the rest of us.

Sometimes I am sad to think about how much her father is missing by choosing not to be in her life. I cannot imagine what it is like to know that you have a child, a daughter, your only daughter, only child out there and you CHOOSE to not be apart of her life. I really pray that one day he realizes this before it is too late, but until then...I will eat her up as much as I can.

I love you Mallorie......

$5.00 Craigslist Loot

Okay.....I am so happy and proud of my recent acquisition from Craigslist. I was searching in the Free Section, the Baby section for a highchair for Mamu, Activities section, and finally ending up going to the Arts and Craft's section because sometimes you can find some pretty good deals.

Well..I saw this ad for a Art Supplies for $5.00 and of course I had to call and see where they were located because sometimes it is a good deal on Craigslist, but not for you depending on where you are located in reference to where the item(s) is located. So when I called and she gave me the address and I MapQuest it and saw it was not far from me at all.. I asked if it was too late (6:30) and told her I was on my way.

So we get there in under 10 minutes and when I went to the door and she stacked all of these containers up and I said, "Just want to make sure...$5.00 for all?" She said, "Yes." I told her thank you because with my children we go through this stuff so much. She said thank you and the boys (my two and one of hers) brought them to the van.

We came home and started going through everything. It was like Christmas in November. They had stamps, rolling stamps, markers that were stamps, and stamp pads. They had pens and more pens. They had colored pencils. Crayons galore. Markers, regular. Pencils. Glue. Water colors. Notecards. Highlighters (Zachary too a pink one and Courtney a green one, even though she can only use yellow at school).

They had 2 cute pends that had a little fuzzy head on it with sunglasses on and it says. "Be cool! Call 9-1-1 only for Emergencies!"

So needless to say..I have not found my highchair YET, but I did come across something that was so worth more than $5.00!!!!!
