My Review of Nature Babycare Diapers 30 Ct - Size 4

Toys R Us

Nature babycare is the result of many years of intense work and development. The first award winning ECO-friendly high-performance diaper, based on new green technology, protected by a Swedish patent. The diaper is soft, thin, comfortable, & the ultra-thin construction gives a non-bulky fit,...


WOW--no blowouts!

Pros: Highly Absorbent, No poop blow-outs, Snug Fit

Cons: Stiff

Best Uses: Infants

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

My 6 month old daughter was leaking through her cloth diapers at night, so we had been using Pampers. Unfortunately, every SINGLE time she pooped, the Pampers leaked. So gross. I decided to give Nature Babycare a try. AMAZING! Highly absorbent, and absolutely no poop blowouts (the leg gussets contain the mess while not being too tight). I'm thrilled that this chlorine-free, biodegradable diaper is comparable in performance to even the most expensive brand of traditional disposable diapers. From now on, when my baby's not in cloth, she'll be in Nature Babycare!

End of Intermission.

In some ways, our short stay here in Jersey has been sort of like the intermission in the Beatles' movie Help!



Here's a brief wrap-up of what's been going on with us during the past few weeks:

1. We sold our house! In other words, we've officially been homeless for two weeks now. Let me tell you, it was a weird experience closing on a house via overnight mail!

2. We bought a minivan. But when you see me driving around in a 2009 grey-blue Honda Odyssey wih leather seats and power everything, don't write me off as the average soccer mom. According to Matt, our kids will never, EVER, play soccer. :-)

3. Staying up late, sleeping in late. We may not be healthy, wealthy, or wise, but we sure are rested and quite happy!

4. Abbie has finally grown out of her bedtime separation anxiety. Now when we put her to bed, we sing a few songs, pray, then tuck her in and say goodnight. And she goes right to sleep! Relief.

So our intermission will come to an end on Sunday when we caravan up to Dingmans Ferry to move into the parsonage. Woot!

How is this possible?

My little baby is 6 months old. Well, more like 6 months and one week old at this point. And she's sitting up! How in the world did six months go by like blur?

Day trippin'

Matt and I took a day trip to Lanchaster county, PA today. We were mostly going to check out a non-toxic Strobel mattress that represented too big of an investment to make blindly (and the closest showroom happened to be 3 hours away), but we decided to take the kids and make a day of it. We had such a great time as a family! We ate a big lunch, went to the model train museum, and did some shopping before we even went to check out the mattress. Abbie absolutely loved the horse-drawn buggies. We even saw a horse and buggy going through an ATM drive-through. Odd. Matt splurged and bought me an antique drawing table which I am enthralled with! And I was pleasantly surprised with how well the girls did without naps. Awesome, refreshing day.
