So I have tried a few cloth diapers now, and so far my favorite are MamaKoala pocket diapers with their microfiber insert. I double up and put in their microfiber and my charcoal bamboo insert if we are going to be out of the house for awhile. I’ve only had one leaking incident so far, and that was probably because I didn’t have the diaper on tight enough, but it was an Alvababy diaper, and honestly I don’t care for them as much as the MamaKoala diapers. I posted a link below if you’re interested in trying out the MamaKoala brand. It’s the perfect price for experimenting with cloth diapers to see if it’s going to work for your lifestyle. I have some Flip diapers coming in the mail next week, and I think they’ll be a little more convenient for when we are out and about. I’ll catch up with you on that after I have a little time trying them out. For now, sticking with the MamaKoalas and rocking the cloth dipes. I haven’t made the leap to cloth wipes, I’m not sure if it’s worth it honestly. But this whole budgeting thing ain’t going so bad either. I’m actually having fun trying to come up with ways to cut back and save money. Cancelling cable today and switching providers (mainly because I hate our current service with Cox Cable and we don’t watch cable like…ever). Switching to AT&T internet and saving us about $120 a month. Not too shabby.
We are NOT in a contract with them, but we are in a bundled thing with our home security that is under contract so it would actually RAISE our bill by canceling our cable. How crazy is THAT?!? After being on the phone for 45 minutes, I only saved $16 for this month because of our service issues. Not sure it was worth my time, but now I have to wait another 4 hours to have my internet and cable back on because they have an outage. Ugh. I tried. So I’m trying to channel my inner Buddha and chill out.
