Last year as I started blogging (on a different blog) I decided to use my money saving skills and blogging outreach to helps others in need. I would scour the drugstore circulars each week in search of free or cheap personal items that I can accumulate to donate to a woman's shelter. For the past year, I have been adding to the donation boxes in my basement, and I plan to drop them off right before the holidays. From toothpaste and razors to ...

Softbums Echo Cloth Diaper Review & Giveaway!
When I first started cloth diapering my toddler, I knew that one size diaper would be best for us. At the thought of having another baby who I plan to cloth diaper from the beginning, I started to wonder if a one size diaper would really fit an 8 pound baby comfortably. It just seems that there would be too much bulky from the folding and all the extra material. At the same time - I wonder if newborn cloth diapers are really worth the investment. ...

I let her choose her own sheets from what we already had, and made her bed with her, but this didn't seem to do anything. When I was flipping through the latest Babies R Us circular, she spotted a Mickey Mouse bed ...
