Life Changes

I have decided to take on, in my eyes, something big. Not in the sense of it being too difficult but to do something I feel that may make a big difference. Always trying to make things better for people—I do love that. But I've also been making some changes in my life. I was trying to help two of my family members out by having them stay with me for awhile… but that was getting to be too much on my children. There was a lot on my part for the two members that joined my household..I had forgot how to do the things –I- had to do…like keep up on my homework…take care of myself better…think.. And my son's moods are affected from my mood so it was getting to be too much for everyone. I wasn't happy all the time with the situation…I had to make some changes because the things I was trying to do in my own life were being negatively affected. In two separate situations—that was the case. So I had to make some hard decisions and not help those people anymore.

I have to pick my GPA back up because that dropped significantly in the past month… I'm facing the fact that I will have to ease up next semester because I have very important tests I have to take to continue in the School of Education (because my gpa…) and I've also been thinking about going to a totally different university altogether. The one I had eyes on recently is approximately nine hours away from my current position. That would be toooo much in my current situation…mostly with the life of my children's father. I don't want to make that more complicated than what it should be.

Anyways, on a happier note. I've picked up a few things that make me happy and help me finish the things that I am required to do. I've been attending all of the parenting meetings with my son's Head Start…and I also represent the center by being on the Parenting Policy Committee and my vote is counted towards making many decisions involving my son's school setting (and the many schools in the surrounding area). I've also decided that I'm going to become a consultant with Everything Birth doing Diaper Parties. I absolutely love cloth diapers and I can't believe how many myths there are out there about them.
They aren't your grandmother's cloth diaper—I love that saying. There aren't any pins required and they are very easy to clean. Work entailed… dump the poo in the potty (not as bad as it sounds—very easy especially when you have a routine!) then toss the diaper (and liners if have them) into your diaper pail or diaper bag. When it is full… dump them in the washer…add soap… voila! Oh yeah, close the washer lid! I love adding Tea Tree and Lavender oils into the rinse cycle (along with some vinegar) because it makes them smell so fresh and clean. The baking soda I add in the wash cycle also whitens them. I don't use any fabric softeners or sheets in the dryer (when I cannot hang dry them outside)—but they are not needed! They are soft, white, clean, and smell great!
You couldn't even tell that my baby poops in them. =]

But you definitely get your own routine that works for you on your and your baby's schedule. And you get that farm fuzzy feeling that you're truly making a difference in the world, too! It's been in the news that cloth diapering is becoming more of a trend these days. Here are
six reasons to cloth diaper!

So, if you're interested in cloth diapers—ask me. If you have doubts or a reason why you can't cloth diaper…still talk to me because I will help you see that cloth diapering is the best option for you and your children.
Even if you only use one cloth diaper a day…It makes a HUGE difference. Using one cloth diaper a day can save you between $200-$300 and keep around 300 POUNDS of diaper waste out of the landfills.

I don't know about you but that makes me feel good inside. =]

So, help me help you.
I am happy to. =] Interested in cloth diapers? I am your girl. Interested in just about anything I can probably have a conversation with you. Lol

Thanks for the visit. ;]
