Diaper Covers :)



My wee little nephew, Levi, has been fighting an ugly diaper rash. :( My sis thought that he may do better in cloth for a few days, so I made him three covers and 8 liners (she already has prefolds to use as soakers). After 1 full day in cloth his bitty buns are feeling much better. You know, I was thinking that this may be a good baby gift for any mama, whether she plans to do cloth or not. Three covers is more than enough to get you through one day, and it's nice to have the option for just a day or two occasionally when they have unhappy skin. She also has the option of using them as swim diapers instead of having to buy them. Quick, easy, and multifunctional, I like it! xo, Sam

I love that pattern! So.. I have always been under the impressions that cloth causes diaper rashes? Not true then??

If you are thinking of making more diapers and covers I would suggest going with plastic snaps rather than velcro. Velcro gets all stuck together and in a big mess in the wash. I love my kamsnaps snap pliers and they would work well for diapers and covers (not affiliated, just really happy with it. Also love my fuzzibunz which have the snaps.)

re: Unhappy Buns, babies of my own and multiple foster babes I learned to spot the difference between diaper rash and a yeast infection on the skin - I'd long forgotten about it but it popped right back into my head when I spied it on my wee little granddaughter. The whole situation being a bit touchy I mentioned it to my son - that the med lotion they were using wasn't going to do anything for the type of rash she had and to get an OTC anti-fungal ointment. Well, the DIL took it to the dr, the dr RAN A TEST (!?) and then prescribed a more appropriate lotion. LOL!! Of course granny was right but they have more $ than they know what to do with so it doesn't matter but it seems nobody thinks of yeast anymore - so keep it in mind. It will not respond to regular diaper rash treatment but will clear up in a couple days with an anti-fungal

Sparkle,

It was yeast! But the yeast was just thriving in those disposables even with the correct medicine. I too have a good eye for yeast rashes as my first two babies had them all the time (along with thrush!). Thank goodness his skin was much happier today. :)Yeah those faint, almost undetectable, raised red pricks give away yeast every time!

Did you guys use Gentian Violet for thrush back then? I still use it now and it has gotten pretty hard to come by. With Claire I actually had to special order it from the pharmacy!

xo,
Sam

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
