PANTS THAT FIT!!!!!

Ok since starting cloth diapering the big problem with it was trying to cover my son's butt with something other than the diaper. During the summer I just used rompers and all was good, but now that it's getting close to winter, rompers are not practical. Especially here in our lovely warm Utah winters. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Right. Anywho, so I have been on the search for the perfect pair of pants that fit over his cloth butt. I have looked everywhere! Thrift store, department stores, Old Navy (I have found a pair of shorts that fit him, but can't find pants), Babies R Us, Wal-Mart, Online, asked mamas on mamapedia. I was about ready to give up cloth when we went out of the house because I just couldn't find pants!!
Well my job is a 2 minute walk from Kmart and I was walking to find something to eat, and they were having a sidewalk sale. So I found some shirts, so I went in and decided to look at their clothes. Well of course I was curious about their pants. At first I was dissapointed. I couldn't find a size that I thought would fit him. Then I remembered that most pants that he fits are in the T's. 2t was way to small, but 3t!! 3t just might do it. I then remembered that I only had $20 with me. Sad. But I looked at the price tag, $4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With my shirt purchases and the pants being as cheap as they are I could buy 2 pairs! Well, maybe I should only do one pair so that i'm not out more money if they don't fit.
The time I was able to put on those pair of pants was one of those VOILA! moment. Oh it was wonderful! They fit him comfortably, no red mark, fit over his big butt, not those horrible stiff jeans that don't move how babies move. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!! No more worrying about what to do during the winter. I know, I could have just put him in sweat pants all winter long. But you know, sometimes sweat pants just don't cut it. So Wonder Kids brand, THANK YOU!!!!!

Special Orders and the awsomeness of All Natural Baby Center!

So as we all know Ollie has a big butt. He's a giant, what can I say? So often times I have to search for stores that have his size of diapers. I also have discovered that I love Fuzzibunz Perfect Size Diapers. Not only are they going to fit Oliver for quite a while, but they have cute colors!! But anywho, so I have to search for them. On Facebook I'm a fan of All Natural Baby Center and they were having a promotion that if you buy a Fuzzibunz diaper then you get a free additional insert. Of course they didn't have Ollie's size, so I asked how long they were going to have their promotion going on (money issues holding off my purchase at the time) and when they would have his size. Well they don't normally carry his size, but would be willing to order some in just for me. YAY!! Just for me!! And by the time they arrived was when I got paid! Nice. So after a series of emails about what diapers I want, deciding against the diapers I thought I wanted, but then decided that I didn't, but oh wait I wanted to buy some Thirsites wraps and hemp prefold. Then forgetting to pay for one of the diapers, and then even more additions I finally was done ordering and changing my mind. I'm sure we sent each other 10 or 15 emails.  Easily. 
So basically what I'm saying is that I love allnaturalbabycenter.com. They are awesome, understanding, and have great communications with their customers. Not only that but they have awesome sales, deals, and free shipping on 2 bags or more on Rockin' Green Detergent. Which for me, the reason why I never bought it, was because of the shipping. Stupid Shipping. Also they have $5 shipping on everything under $25 and free above $25. How awesome!! So lots of love is headed toward All Natural Baby Center!!!
Sorry about the poor quality, took it with my phone. But it was a great day when this arrived!
