All About Cloth Wipes Today

CC button


It's Chic Cheeks today and today it's all about wipes and wipe solution!

I am no help when it comes to wipe solution because though I have been using cloth wipes, which we love, I have just been using water. Though I have a recipe in the works because of this article (also linked up in Mama Kenz post). I'll let you know what we come up with for Daniel's bum! I know you are hanging on the edge of your seat! ~Smile~

I have tried four of the brand name wipes: Fuzzi Bunz, bumGenius, Thirsties and Happy Heiny's. I like them all, they all work fine, but I have to say my favorites are the Thirsties and the Fuzzi Bunz brands. Happy Heiny's work great for a tough job, but they are a little rough. The bumGenius are thin and great for small messes or just a wet diaper. Today I ordered new wipes from a couple of WAHM's. I ordered from Small Wonders and Creative Mama's and I can't wait to try out these cutie patootie wipes!

Now I am off to the natural food store for the grapeseed oil for the wipe solution!!

Check out Feed Your Stash Friday for a chance to win a GroBaby diaper! Did you really think I could have a post anywhere related to cloth diapering and not mention a giveaway??? ~~Smile~~

Sam-isms

What is a Sam-ism you ask?? Good question! A Sam-ism is something that Samuel, my vivacious 3 year, says or does that is just too funny. Samuel is full of these little Sam-isms and they come when you least expect them.

I have prepared a sampling for your delight.

The Other Day, A Nap Conversation Between Sam and Mama

Mama: "You have to lay down and take a nap. Right. Now." (We had already been discussing the nap for awhile when you enter the conversation, negotiations had come to an end).

Sam: "Noooooo, please, please, please mama. I be good. I do. Weally. I do. I be good. I not tired."

Mama: "Yes you are tired and you ARE going to take a nap." (Walks over, covers him up, kisses him and walks away).

Sam: "Mama pleeeeeaaaasssse." Silence. Knowing him for all three years of his life, I go back into the room to find him doing somersaults down the couch, yes somersaults.

Mama: "Sam, that doesn't look like you are sleeping?!?! What are ya doing son?" Like I didn't know.

Sam: Very sincere voice, with sincere eyes. "But mama, I woked up." Right. Fastest nap in history, 12.8 seconds.


I sometimes call Samuel, Sammydoodle. I don't know why. Why do mothers call their kids funny little pet names? Sorry, back on topic. Sammydoodle. My mom also calls him that sometimes. So, a couple of days ago, I was loading the dishwasher and Sam came into the kitchen and said, "May I have a drink of milk, Mommydoodle?" Who could turn that down. Since then he has started to sometimes call Hubs, you guessed it, "daddydoodle".

Samuel used to eat everything you sat before him and then once we ventured further into the two's and now well into the three's, I find myself doing more begging than he is eating. Certain things he scarfs up really quick, other things that he used to love, just sits on his plate waiting for someone to eat it up. Needless to say, being the mama I feel the need to feed my kids (it's in the job description), so when he doesn't eat, I am troubled. But I also don't want to run an order-what-you-want diner, so I don't. I try to put things before him I am sure he'll eat, but since he seems to have a palette that is ever changing, I might hit one of out the park and I might not. Yesterday I hit a home run with a turkey hot dog with ketchup and I was at the sink when I heard this, "mmmmmm, this is goody, goody, GOOD". I also heard it again when we had corn on the cob and then today when I made him a bag of popcorn for snack, he ate THE WHOLE BAG. So as long as I feed him turkey hot dogs, corn on the cob and popcorn, we're good. For now anyway.

Well, that was just a small sampling of the Sam-isms. I would write more, but unfortunately my brain didn't catalog them all. Next time, I'll make a list.

Oh and here is another great giveaway hosted by The Frugalicious Mommy. I need these and I bet you do too. They look so cool. So jump over there and enter to win!!
