Since the baby was born, we’ve been having a problem with our savings - it has been going down. There have been a lot of things happening right around this time that have contributed - notably a $1500 hospital bill, the month that I took off to spend with the baby and expensive property taxes […]
After 6 weeks of successful and happy cloth diapering of our little baby, we had to stop. He was getting major diaper rashes all over his bottom and legs and we couldn’t figure out why. We went to disposables and after about a week, the problems cleared up. When we tried to go back to […]
I mentioned before that my wife and I were committed to doing cloth diapering for our new baby. It took us a while to get it started. The lure of the convenience of the disposable diapers was too great for us to resist for the first few weeks. However, when we upgraded in size from […]
Hi everyone. Just so you know that I am still alive. I am still trying to get used to this new life of mine. It’s amazing how priorities have changed in such a short period of time. Last night I had about an hour of free time when the baby was sleeping. And you know […]
Hi again everyone! I’m sorry that I have been completely off the charts for the last few weeks. Our baby was born on the first of September. I absolutely love being a dad, but at the same time, it is a lot more intense than I thought it would be. My hat is off to […]

With our baby coming any time now, I’ve definitely seen that both my wife and I have thrown just about any idea of a budget and frugality mostly out the window. This is not to say that we’re buying everything out there. We’re still trying to stick to the basics, but we’re not being as […]
This past weekend, my wife and I got another great deal on baby furniture. We were amazed at all of the $400 tiny changing tables that were out there, and figured we had to be able to find something cheaper. We had been looking on Craigslist, but most of the stuff on there we didn’t […]
My wife and I went out and bought some cloth diapers this weekend. For the moment, we’ve settled on the simple, basic pre-fold diapers, and none of the more expensive options that are out there. We’ll see how that goes!
While we were shopping, we were thinking of picking up 2 or 3 dozen diapers to […]
With our first little one on the way in about two months, my wife and I are in the midst of trying to figure out the whole diapering issue. We tend to be on the side of the environment when we can, and so we’ve been looking at cloth diapering options. There are so many […]
