How I Became Addicted to Cloth Diapers...

My cloth diaper addiction started last November when I accidentally stumbled into the world of mom blogs and giveaways. I do not not remember what first led me to mom blogs or giveaways, but I do remember my first win. I won a Haan Steam Mop from Home Grown Families (http://www.homegrownfamilies.net/). Let's just say I was thrilled, I had never won anything in my life AND I had wanted a steam mop forever. After my first win I began to search out giveaways and entered any and every giveaway I could find. I was simply amazed at all the giveaways that were out there, it was like I had discovered a secret world. A short while later I won my very first diaper. It was a Kawaii OS pocket diaper from Contemplate cloth (http://contemplatecloth.blogspot.com/). At this point in time I was still not convinced cloth was for me, it seemed gross and old fashion. But, I was intrigued because there were so many obsessed moms out there. So, I continued to enter cloth giveaways and continued to do my research. Next I won a WAHM AIO diaper called Little Green Bean from Mommy's Favorite Things (http://www.mommysfavoritethings.com/). Still, I waited... Then, I hit the cloth diaper Jack Pot. I won a huge cloth diaper giveaway that consisted of a Perfect Bum fashion set, a Baby Babu pocket, a Sew is Your Baby pocket, a Sunbaby pocket, a Soft Bums diaper, a Glow Bug diaper, a BabeeGreens prefold, and detergent from Rockin' Green, EcoSprout, and A Happy Green Life. Thank you Serial Access Mom (http://serialaccessmom.blogspot.com/). That was it, I was excited to start cloth diapering. I knew I would need more diapers than that to start cloth diapering full time, so I began to search for cheap cloth diapers. My daughter was 13 months old already and I was not about to spend hundreds of dollars on diapers knowing that her diaper days were limited. I found a lot of 20 Happy Flute diapers on ebay for $80 in fun girly prints (seen in the picture above) and I was sold. *Gasp* I know, I bought cheap Chinese diapers...But, at the time they were cheap and that's what I was looking for. Since that time my stash has GREATLY increased and now I appreciate a more expensive diaper. I will show pictures of my extensive stash in a later post. Now, I am just another fluff addict out there. I am so thankful that I stumbled upon this secret world of giveaways and mom blogs!
