Bubby isn't progressing as quickly as I'd like with the potty training. I've been using cloth diapers and cloth training pants while we're home. When we're out and at night, I put him in pull-ups. Thankfully, I found a large box of Huggies pull-ups at Big Lots for $24.00. I'm hoping they'll last him until he's fully trained!
Baby Girl is in cloth diapers part-time, too. I've only made her three so far, and they're used up in half a day, but they work well, so I'll make her more.
Things are just so expensive! I priced out what I'd need to make home-made formula and it's really expensive. The doctor's office gave me some free samples (enough for 3 or 4 days). That'll help. Oh, how I wish I could still nurse!
The media is abuzz with this whole fiscal crisis and bailout. It's hard to avoid and hard to not worry about it. I know the Lord will provide for us, but it is very real that we may have to really cut back. On one hand, it bothers me because I know it'll be an added stresser, especially on hubby. On the other hand, I'm up for the challenge and have already been taking steps to prepare for a possible economic depression.
I've always been drawn to a simpler life, a life closer to God's creation. I've sometimes wondered if it's God's way of helping me prepare for a time when the best way to survive is to be agrarian.

All that work is no joke, is it? I tried hand-washing clothes the other day, and was prostrated after one load of towels. Plus, I put them in the spin cycle and then in the dryer, so it wasn't even like the real thing. :)
I agree about your last thought.
But, after the initial investment, I think it is cheaper. I just used the old fashioned diapers with diaper pants, but I know my cousin-in-law went the new fangled all in one route.
I stopped at a new store here in town that is all cloth diapers - what a brilliant idea (and actually, what I bought was a couple of cloth menstral pads, so not ALL diapers)
bethgem, you're also pregnant!
