Cloth Diaper Baby... FREE Give-a-way!

We have just begun a new world of cloth diapering! My sister Jolyn, and her husband, bought an Organic Baby Business, Nurtured, in Canada back in the Spring. Jolyn and I met up in April and I got a day worth of diapers from her (we started with 4).  I/ we slowly got "trained" on this journey. (A day for us is about 4 with our 18 month old :). I really LIKED them. But about 3 years ago I was not so open to them....
When I was pregnant with Parker (2007), Mike wanted us to use them. His boss and his family used them, and he heard about the great save over time it was. BUT, I wasn't ready for something else new on top of being a first time mom. I was NOT familiar with them at all. :(
Two years later, the cloth diaper discussion came up again through Joy. She told me she was going to use them after the birth of her second baby. I was rooting for her, and told her to tell me how it goes. But still wasn't to sold on it.
And then the third time it came up when my sister bought their store. So, it was really rooted in my mind, and I started seeing how easy it was to use them with my exposure to Joy's little boy. So, Mike and I invested in a week of diapers from my sister.
Here we are three years later and we LOVE them.(Mike loves that I make it easy for him. I wash them and fill the liners for him). The velcro tabs today are so awesome compared to the old fashioned "pin diapers" :)
Here is one amazing way to save over $50.00 a month on your grocery/toiletries bill;
  • The cost of an average diaper (before coupons) is 25.5¢.
  • Thus the average child will cost about $1,600 to diaper for two years in disposable diapers, or about $66 a month.
  • If you would like to read about some other interesting facts on why choosing cloth diapers check out this website -http://www.realdiauerassociation.org/diaperfacts.php
  • To invest in cloth diapers it is about $200-$300 up front, but when you look at the long term investment, it is HUGE! :)
Thanks Joy and Jolyn, for exposing us to Cloth Diapers :)
No turning back now :)

i'd love to win.. Danielle has been teaching me about cloth diapering and all the options. I have one AIO from Grovia. But I haven't been able to use it yet..b/c I haven't been able to treat it. I'd eventually would love to make the jump into full time cloth diapering! :-)

I would LOVE to use your diapers! When researching cloth diapers for our new baby (due in December) I came across this brand. THEN, today I saw a link for the "giveaway" on Joy's FB. Awesome! Thanks for the opportunity!
