Why Didn't I Do This Sooner?

Seriously.  I was terrified of cloth diapering, I thought it would be messy, disgusting, smelly, kill my washing machine & once I factored in all the extra laundry there was no way it would save us money.
Wrong!
I got an amazing deal on all in one Kushie diapers for the new baby at a garage sale which is what started our little journey. For the price of one case of latex free diapers we got 40 Kushie newborn ones.  Couldn't pass that up!
Which got me thinking.  Elli is going to be in diapers as well for at least 6-12 mos yet, I was cringing at the cost of TWO in diapers now that money is so tight.
So I pulled out the computer & commenced research!  I decided on all in one, one size diapers so they could be used for both kids at the same time.  I also wanted this to be as easy as humanly possible. ;)
I found an incredible deal on ebay for 40 brand new diapers with 80 inserts in an assortment of colours that are adjustable for 8-33 lbs.
It's been a week now of having Elli in cloth & I love it!!  I got a recipe for homemade diaper laundry soap from a friend which is excellent & washing them is so easy!  Elli's super sensitive skin has never been less irritated & we have already saved money.  We only use disposable now at night & in the diaper bag when we're out & about.
The absolute life saver in cloth diapering though has been the flushable paper inserts from Kushies, makes poopy changes so easy!
Seriously don't know why I didn't try this sooner!
