Thoughts on Mommyhood

Last week was the first week of school for me and Mr. Man. Starting school again means we had to change our schedules around and I get to be at home taking care of Sweet Pea for 2 1/2 mornings a week. Plus with the weekend and Labor Day I got my fair share of being home in the morning, and you know what I found out...I loved it! If there was anyway for me not to work I would quit tomorrow. I never thought I would be saying that, but with baby #2 on the way and spending some time at home I am starting to like this full time mom thing more than I thought. Or I wish I could go back to working 2nd shift since mornings and I do not get along well.

Along with wanting to stay at home I have found how much I love making baby food! Once I realized how easy it was and what pureed green beans really can look like I don't want to use jarred baby food unless necessary. There's nothing wrong with buying baby food by any means, but when you are quite poor and a $1 bag of frozen veggies can last 1-2 weeks vs. 2 jars of baby food lasting 1 day the math makes the decision for you.

The discovery of baby #2 helped us to make the decision to really try cloth diapers. I ordered a sample package of AIO's and pocket diapers from Thanks Mama
and love what we got! We have tried a Fuzzi Bunz and a bumGenius and a Bumkins is on the way. I also have some more on the way from Cotton Babies and I can't wait to see how everything works. Like making baby food, using cloth diapers is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'm no pro by any means but I have noticed in the past few days Sweet Pea's bum hasn't been red at all. We'll see how it goes and I hope it will work so we can save some more money.
