Bras, Oprah, and Diapers

Last night I was waiting up for Tim to get home (he doesn't get home from work till about midnight on Mon. and Tues.) and I was flipping through the channels to pass the time. A rerun of Oprah was on and while I am usually not impressed by her it caught my eye. The Brit girls of What Not to Wear were on and to me it was absolutly fascinating. They were talking about how probably 99% of us women are wearing the wrong bra size and as they talked and took women off the street to demonstrate thier point it was amazing. So now I just have to throw out every bra in my closet and start over. :) Well at least in due time.



I've told lots of you already how I am not going to use disposable diapers on TJ. Most of you have gasped in horror and wondered slightly if I am a cave-woman, but I assure you that there is no need for horror. I am really excited about it and I had no idea that this was even an option until I was looking at a diaper pail online and a mommy who used these diapers wrote a review and mentioned them. These are not the diapers our mothers used with the pins and the covers and all the confusing folding. I wouldn't use those either. (too much hassle) These are different and oh so cool. Lots of reasons to use....

1. Total cost is about the same as what it cost for six months of sposie diapers
2. Saves lots of enviromental resourses (I only hug trees occasionaly, don't freak out yet)
3. Cloth is much better for Baby's bottom than synthentic materials
4. Except for extra laundry created, just as easy to use and leak free as sposies (so I am told on the leaks, no actual experience in that area yet)
5. So very very cute :)


So that's my mini advertisement for them. I just wanted everyone to see them and explain why I'm so excited about using them. :) I also bought some that have applix (velcro like) tabs instead of snaps. They are neat too but I wanted to try some of each.

As for my day today it was pretty typical for me. Folded some laundry, baked cookies, crocheted wash clothes, etc. The best part was when Mom and Dad came into town on business and I got to play chauffeur for Mom while Dad took care of the business. We do this more often and I love it. It makes for the perfect visit while totaly multi-tasking. I am all for multi-tasking, although in my life now (since I stay at home in wait for baby) I seldom have to practice it. I'm sure that will all change when Jr. actually gets here. Ok, I'm off to make myself some supper.
