LoogieJane, wow can't believe your DH has to pay so much income tax. That would certainly push things up considerably. Here in Florida we don't have a State income tax, but still pay the Federal one. Its one of the few financial...

I can't believe how expensive NY home birth midwives are. I know that cost of living is expensive there, but I also know that cost of living is pretty expensive down here in South Florida too and the most expensive price I've seen is...

My boys were 8lb7oz and 9lb8oz at birth and neither of them would have fit OS Pockets for the first couple of months. They didn't even fit the prefolds to begin with, which are less bulky between the legs. DS1 was in 'sposies for about...

I did like the pockets with DS1 for overnight when we first started using them. They were great for about the first 6 months we used them (DS1 was already a year old when we started) but then I found the microfiber was beginning to...

I love cloth diapering. With DS1 we used throw aways for about the first 5-6 weeks until he was big enough for the one size prefolds we had. We used prefolds with snappis and one size covers for his whole first year. Once we had a bit...
