Get Organized!!

I LOVE being a mom!! I enjoy every moment I get to spend with my children, they are the little lights of my life...but...when I became a Mom, I lost little parts of my self...Like the ability to recall what I was JUST doing, for some reason I have the hardest time recalling so many things! I guess that is mommy brain for you. I want to be organized, how I want to be! But I write a "to do" list with everything I need to do, get done, buy, people I need to call, play dates ect. But...then the list disappears into the craziness of our home. So, now here I am, getting Elias' homeschooling curriculum put together, and I realized I NEED to be organized and stay on track...Enter Gubb!

Have you heard of GUBB? It is a online Organizer. Totally free. Quick. Easy. and you can't lose it:) We you sign up, you get to choose categories like: To Do List. Goals. Calls to make. Friends to catch up with. My project Ideas...which I love, since I was asked by a well know website to write a article all about Breastfeeding Twins!!

You only use the categories YOU choose! So yesterday, I did it, I signed up. It took a little while to input all my information, (the twins were climbing all over me)
Since yesterday: I have caught up with a number of friends. I have made 2 play dates I have meaning meaning to make for...about 3 months. I have made ALL the calls I needed to make. I have even started planning the Twins 1st Birthday.
Oh, did I mention there is even a " my DON'T forget to do list" we all need that!!!
It has been so easy, all I do is go to the Gubb website, and go from there...adding, Checking off, planning ect.

It's nice to know I won't lose this "to do" list....well unless I lose my computer...but lets no go there, or even think it!!!

Camping with Cloth!

Camping with Cloth Diapers!!

We have a camping trip coming up and we are so excited to get out of town for a while!I'm completely unwilling to buy sposies for your camping trip? I have no reason to use anything other than cloth, even if we are camping!! Plus like we want to spend extra money on something we truly don't even want!

Tips & Tricks
for Camping with Cloth

1. Does your Camp site, Cabin or Location have running water?

If it does your set. If not, consider filling a few

washed out milk jugs with water to wash your dipes.

2. Remember to pack so extra dipes!

You never know when a blowout will happen...or bad weather.
I like to take Prefolds, Fitteds & covers.

I tend not bring AIO, they are thick, harder to clean and dry.

3. Don't forget a clothes line and clothes pins!
I found mine at the Dollar Tree, or you could just use rope:)

4. Get a Ziploc® Brand Big Bag &

Bring small plastic bags to dispose of soiled wipes.

5. Take a small jar: (like a baby food jar)

with some of your laundry soap.

To wash dirty dipes:

After cleaning/rinsing any soiled diapers,

add your diapers and a very small amount of

laundry soap to the Large zip lock bag.

Add water (add hot if you have hot running water)

until the bag is a 1/4 to 1/2 full. Zip bag closed,

then shake until you can't shake anymore.

Dump water, and fill it up again!

Do this 2-5 times to act as a rinse cycle.

I try to "rinse" 4-5 times to ensure all soap reside is gone.

This will take less than 10 minutes!!

After your diapers are washed and rinsed,

ring them, then hang them!

I know this is not perfect! But it gets the job done without a washing machine!!
Bonus!! you don't have to spend money on Icky Disposables..yay!!

Happy Camping!
