Don’t over pay for used cloth diapers! #clothdiapers

I almost never buy new cloth diapers unless it's just such a great deal that I can't pass up. Just like when you buy a car, the moment you sign your name on the dotted line, the value of the car decreases.  When you drive it off the lot, it decreases even more, and the more miles you put on it, the lesser in value it becomes. Here is my rule of thumb* when it comes to selling used cloth diapers: 10-15% off - NWT - New With Tags 25% off - EUC - Excellent Used Condition, NWOT - New…

Winter had FINALLY ended (that was a long one, wasn't it?), and it's time to celebrate!  Swimsuit season has, once again, made it's way back into our lives, so why not kick it off with a new swimsuit?!  If you're overweight, like me, the last thing on your mind is shopping for a new swimsuit.  When you're in stores, there are all these really cute, teeny weeny suits that you think wouldn't even fit on your thighs, much less cover what counts!  The good news is,  Free Country understands that those of us who are overweight…

Flats Challenge 2013: Day 6 Double Dish Towel Fold – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Day six of the Flats Challenge was a great day, for me and my love for flats!  One of the things that I did was come up with a new fold that was a little more involved than the super easy Jett Fold, but it also shows that you can truly use something that you already have in your home to cloth diaper without cutting, sewing, or altering in any way.
