So, I’m taking a break from my sewing but only because I have to…laundry, you see, seems to pile up like nobody’s business around here. I do not mind doing laundry, in my world it’s actually kind of fun! I really don’t know what’s wrong with my head, I think I get a kick out of making it vanish…seeing piles of it in every room of the house, scooping it all up and watching those piles magically disappear. I even don’t mind the sorting and folding and putting away part…must be my Type A-must-be-orderly-and-organized old self that tries to come up for air once in a while when the kidlets are napping. At our house, we even do cloth diapees for the littles and I’m sure you are probably thinking that that has to be the worst type of laundry to do…well it’s not! It’s suprisingly quite do-able and easy, all you need are some good diapers (I use bumgenius 3.0 one size cause I only need this one size diaper for both my kidlets, super convenient!)
and a wet bag…no problem, easy peasy! I even L-O-V-E my laundry detergent, it’s Charlie’s Soap and I first learned about it when I started using cloth diapers almost 3 years ago!
This stuff is great because it only takes one Tablespoon to clean one giant load of laundry! I know, it’s amazing stuff! So one little bag seems to last me forev-ah, which makes it easy on your wallet! It’s also great if you have sensitive skin or allergies cause there is not much to it. I use it for all of our clothes and that way I don’t have to buy any baby detergent…makes for a lot less trips to Target! OK, now back to the sorting, folding, and putting away…a momma’s job is never done 🙂
i really wish i would have the stomach to do cloth diapers, it’s bad enough with regular diapers. Props to you!
Ooooh! So glad to find another Charlie’s lover! The husband and I started using this just before The Niblet arrived in Feb. this year. We’re using clothies (non-bleached prefolds and Thirsties/Woolies) on her and love it. We’ve also started switching between Charlie’s and another called Allan’s Naturally. Both are grrr-eat!
So glad I found you! I can’t wait to try out your sweater dress tute! Thanks in advance. When I finish up, would you mind if I linked back to you on my blog?
Mel-
Yes, you may definitely link back to my blog! I hope you love the sweater dress, my Penny has loads of them now! Perfect for fall 🙂
I love using prefolds too! We really liked the thirsties covers for day and wool soakers for night…after awhile we had to go to a one-size cause it was getting crazy with all the different prefolds sizes we had! Have a fabulous day!
