Being Green = Saving Money? Cloth Diapering

Hey Guys!

Um, so why didn't anyone ever tell us that being "Green" could save our little family A LOT of money. Hmmm? Yea thats right I'm talking to all you other greenies out there. So ever since AB and I figured this out we have been slowly going green. Yup thats right we are jumping on the green wagon. Now keep in mind that yes of course we love the planet and want to help save it but lets be honest we started this with the purpose of saving money. Does it really matter why we started it or that we are doing it? Oooh. Look at that I made you guys think huh?
This will be broken up into 3 separate posts.

These are the things we do that are "green":
-Recycling
-Reusable Containers, Water Bottles, and Bags
-We also will eventually Cloth diaper

Cloth Diapering- 

So this one has already been a little difficult and we haven't even conceived number 2 yet. The people that I thought were going to be supportive have not been. I mean really guys. Its not like I am asking them to do it right? On the plus side some unexpected people have been super supportive. CDing has a ton of negative hype so I expected the worst when it came to telling people our choice. Let me explain it to you.

This is all research based because I haven't CDed before.
We approached this in the beginning strictly for how much money it will save us. Do you know how much money we spent on disposables for KT? Way, way to much! On average you spend like more then two grand per kid on sposies. Now idk about you guys but I don't have that kind of money to be spending on something that my child will poo in.

Now you can do CDing expensive but you can also do it super cheap. We have already started our stash. We have 8 gDiapers, 5 pairs of Baby Leggings, and a box of Bummkins flushable liners. All of which was either on sale or I had a killer coupon! Now while I have spent like $175 already on CD's and accessories I stand by my choice because I will be able to use this with all future children! So yea that $175 doesn't seem like that much now does it? There are also tons of different types of cloth diapers too but I won't go into all that yet.

So not only are they way cheaper but they are so much cuter!!! Plus it just makes sense to me to do it. I am a SAHM and I have no reason not to try it and again I just want to repeat the fact that it makes sense to ME! I'm not asking you to do it and I'm also not asking anyone to put them on themselves either! Sorry I got a little grouchy there for a second lol.

Anyway thats what is going on in my head about that.
Talk to you guys soon.
