Here it is, the new blog!

Yes, I have started a second blog.  It is still all Stephanie's fault.  She got me started blogging, and now I need two blogs, because I went and titled the first one to be about stamping and scrapbooking, and ended up writing about diapers and baby stuff!  So now I have this one, to feed that need instead. 
This is where you'll find my posts about giveaways at other diaper blogs and my thoughts on my own experiences. 
What's really cool right now is that, because of my excitement about cloth diapers, a friend from church is seriously considering it for her second baby, who is on the way!  This is exactly how it's supposed to work.  Once people know how easy and fun it can be to use cloth, they start thinking and planning, and soon they try it.  Then when they realize it really IS easy, they tell other people.  We can seriously cut back on the amount of nasty diaper trash in our landfills just by spreading the word!  Disposable diaper companies can start manufacturing something else...or start diaper services!!!
The next thing I want to say is:  there is a local cloth diaper shop, in Virginia Beach, called SoftClothBunz.  The store has an online site, linked in my list over there, and the service is great.  Please support local businesses!
There are a number of other great diapering sites that I have become a fan of, including:  Diaper Style (Skye Duggar is the owner and very nice and helpful; check out their sister site, too, Baby Half Off), Nicki's Diapers (free shipping on pocket diapers and some other items; fast service, too!), Snooty Booty Diapers ($2.50 shipping!).  The other sites in my list are also great!  Kelly's Closet has a huge selection and Jennifer's is a Virginia store located in Vinton.  As I find more I like, I'll add them.
