Cloth diapers

I have used cloth diapers off and on since my oldest (who is 4) was about 3 months old. We had 2 different people invite us to the Great Cloth Diaper Change. I was then introduced to cloth for every bum. I got my first stash that way. It was pockets, covers, and prefolds. I still do not enjoy pockets, I would rather use them as covers and throw the microfiber inserts in the trash. (I don't, never know when I may need those.) Back then, I quickly started trying to buy ultimate all in one diapers from Nickisdiapers.com. I love that brand and my husband has asked me to buy a few more for "his" stash.
Sometimes life seemed to busy for the extra diapers and we would go back to disposables but I always come back to my cloth diapers. 1, they are WAY cuter than throwaways. 2, my bank account is always stretched it seems. 3, I have plenty, why not use them. In the past I have used the GCDC (Great Cloth Diaper Change) as a restart to get us back in cloth. My newest baby, who is almost 8 months old has spent most of her life in cloth.
I follow different cloth diaper brands on social media and watch for their giveaways. This past week I won MamaKoala. They just came in today and I cant wait to prep them and put them on the bum. Its 6 winter theme prints and I love them!


This year, I am helping to organize the local GCDC event in my area. Check out our Instagram account, Peachfluffmiddlega.

Our 5 year wedding anniversary

So, this past Friday (March 8th) was our wedding anniversary. We took a family vacation and spent the weekend in Valdosta and took the kids to Wild Adventures. I'm proud to say I took my boys on their first rollercoaster. It was the shoe shaped cart, I dont knoe the name of it. My little adventurers just grinned the whole time and asked to go again. We splurged and spent the money to get my husband the scooter, both days. It's amazing how much those scooter rentals cost. But I wanted my husband to enjoy our trip too so I insisted he get it. He wanted to skip it the second day but I'm glad he didnt. With my yearly bonus I got from work, we bought ourselves season passes. Our boys qualify for the pre k pass and our daughter is free.

The new discovery outpost is perfect for the younger kids. My middle son, who will be 3 later this month was able to ride all the rides that were open there this weekend. (The small rollercoaster type one was closed all weekend.) The boys loved holding an alligator and walking over the rope bridge. The stairs to the bridge were steep, but I easily walked across while babywearing. The swamp trial was nice and relaxing (except my oldest kept trying to get to far ahead of us.)

Next month, my husband wants to ride down just for the day and take them to the opening day of the water park. I have a few reservations about that but I know we are going one way or the other. I will have to get everyone new swimsuits and I need to get a sun bonnet for Tabitha. Poor baby got a sunburn on her nose and cheeks this weekend.

Tell me how you celebrated your most recent anniversary or what your favorite anniversary was. Do you get season passes for your family anywhere? When would you take your baby to a water park?

Pumping at work

I'm sitting here for my 2nd pump of the day. I've already gotten a message from the sitter that my baby girl has gone through 3 4 oz bottles. When the message came through, I still had 2 and a half hours left at work. I'm going to leave in an hour to feed her, but I know that's not a good permanent solution. I have tried things, but I'm not consistent enough to actually know if they work or not.

What are you're sure fire pumping solutions?
