Wetbag Giveaway
Win it! Monkey Foot Designs is giving one of Life More Simply's blog readers a medium size wet bag in the print of your choice for free. To gain an entry, visit their website and let me know which print you want in the medium bags if you win (choose wisely--it's what you'll be getting). Include your email address in every entry! This contest will end on August 7, 2009, at approximately 1530 hours, EST.
The storage and cleaning of cloth diapers is an easy thing and certainly not worthy of intimidation. The first thing that people should know about are wet bags. A wet bag is a waterproof bag that closes (usually by zipper) and is small enough to be put into a diaper bag or sent to the babysitter, but big enough to hold a short day's worth of diapers (we can fit about 6 medium sized diapers into a standard wet bag). We always carry one or two in our diaper bag and just throw them in the wash with our regular diapers after use.
Not only are these bags great for wet diapers, but they're also wonderful for anything else that may be wet like swimsuits, toiletries, or cleaning rags. Most bags are made using PUL (one layer bags) or a thicker waterproof fabric on the inside and a fabric on the outside (two layer bags). The two layer bags seem to hold liquids in better, as well as provide sturdier carrying.
Monkey Foot Designs offers wet bags in four different sizes, the smallest being 9x7" ($14.00) and the largest being 16x22" ($28.00). Their bags are made with two layers and include the addition of a small cloth strap used for carrying that's attached by way of a snap (great for slinging onto a stroller!). Only classy, fun, and fashionable prints are used for the outside layer and a white ProCare fabric used for the insider layer. Monkey Foot Designs describes ProCare by saying that it's "a fabric that is machine washable and dryable and is known for its high duty barrier protection- it is used widely in the medical and diaper fields." This provides a quality product while offering aesthetic beauty. Nothing could be nicer than function and good looks when dealing with dirty diapers!
You can purchase one of Monkey Foot Design's wetbags from their Etsy shop at http://monkeyfootdesigns.etsy.com/. They're offering free shipping on all US in stock orders now through the end of July, 2009 and a 10% discount on in stock items to all readers. Just mention Life More Simply's blog and the discount in the "comment" section when placing your order.

10 Ways For Parents To Save TIME by Going Green
Too often, time is the cruncher that drives some mamas away from living more simply (okay, so that was a hidden pun; for those who are unfamiliar with the term, “crunchy” is often used to mean “natural” or “green”). Here are ten ways to save time over one week by green living.

New Experience- Bumbo
Brian and I put Sam into his Bumbo for the first time this week. He was leaning back part of the time and making us nervous, but once we got him upright and leaning forward we took some pictures.
I also have some cute pictures for Sam sleeping on Brian. Enjoy!!

Bad News- Professional Photos with Sam
Unfortunately, our photographer had a problem with her computer and all of Sam's pictures were lost, even with data recovery software. They are still online if you wish to see them (http://blog.kelseybigelowphotography.com/2009/06/sam-is-here.html).
Boo hoo!! We are scheduling another session for next month.
There is a little bit of a silver lining with this. There were some shots that we did not think to get, so I just need to make a list of the shots and outfits that we want so that they aren't missed.
We were planning on sending some pictures to the grandfathers as a belated Father's Day present, so these will have to be delayed a little bit longer.

Greeley Stampede and New Diapers
The Wilson Family had the day off of work on Friday, due to the holiday, so we took a trip up to Greeley for the Greeley Stampede. They were trying to charge $10 for parking, but a short walk away we found parking for free. Yea!!
There isn't much going on unless you are going to pay for tickets to the rodeo (which we weren't). We did have some pretty good BBQ and checked out all of the games and rides.
Here are some cute pictures that I got of Sam and Brian.
The 2nd part of this this post is about some cloth diapers that I purchased on the recommendation of another mother. This is a one size fits all diaper where the snaps control the size of the diaper. I purchased 6 at first, but if Sam likes them, I'm going to purchase more.
I can take Sam into daycare with a cloth diaper, but they won't use them all day. It will definitely reduce our purchasing of disposable diapers for weekends.
