wool are expensive. without diving right in, i bought a wool cover from sustainable babyish. i have read a lot of raves about how awesome they (sbish) are. one great thing about sbish is their “1 diaper 1 tree” philosophy. for every diaper you buy, a tree will be planted. the day after placing an order for that cover, i promptly placed another order for 2 organic bamboo fleece fitted in teal and sprout. these are supposed to be “magic” night time diapers. then i stumbled upon some sbish flats and doublers for what looked like a great price and bought those too. geesh, so much for trying not to spend so much…

now onto pockets – in the last few days, i bought a dozen various brands of one size pockets. since the days are getting warmer, i want to hang-dry the covers instead of tossing them in the dryer. we have 31 pockets in our stash and we wash about every 3 days. with the additional pockets, we can afford an extra day for the covers to dry. at least, that is my plan. i bought some cute cute swaddlebees econappis, rumparoos, knickernappis, and blueberry pockets (all used and said to be in great condition) off the FSOT.

i will take photos after everything arrives. here’s to many many days of fluffy mail!!

our pockets & one purple grobaby stash

i was browsing diaperswappers late one night and saw a post that fuzzi bunz is running a promotion through october 30th. if you buy any 9 one size pocket diapers, you’re eligible for a $40 worth of products from their list which include everything from xsmall diapers to pocket inserts.

at that time, our stash consist of 12 nubunz, 3 bumgenius, 1 grobaby (thanks tana!!), and 2 one size blueberries and 2 one size haute pockets that i just bought off the fsot (for sale or trade forum) but hasn’t arrive. we were washing every 2-3 days and figure i could definitely use some more pockets. plus, with doing the math, buying the 9 fuzzi bunz and with the $40, my new diapers would only cost me about $12.48 each including shipping! they would cost me if i buy them from the fsot new.

now, knowing me, i would shop around and compare prices before buying and i did exactly that. pittsburg cloth diapers gave me the best price with the $40 promotion. it cost me $137.29 (including 10% off) for 9 one size fuzzi bunz pockets.  with the $40 reward, i bought 2 more one size pockets and 4 microfiber inserts. total? i will be getting 11 pockets. $137.29 divided by 11 = $12.48 (not including the inserts)! they retail for $18.95 each. a great deal right?? you can say that again!

shipping from pittsburg cloth diapers was super fast! i’ve been using my fuzzibunz since saturday and i them! they are so cute on alex’s bum and work great…lol the only thing i wish i’d done differently? buy more of the red and orange colors (i only got 3 reds and 2 oranges).

we’re still using sposies at night but i’m hoping to start using pockets soon. james’ is not too fond of the idea. hmm…

alex in nubunz pockets oh and i realized i have the nubunz on incorrectly in those photos.

our 12 nubunz pocket diapers

remember i was storing the diapers in this? i re-arrange some things around; that cube storage is now in the girls’ closet (forgot to take a photo) and i’m now using the shelves and bins below for alex’s diapers and clothes.

i love the light blues and greens. hey, our duvet and rocker are light blue. curtains are a lighter shade of green.
