Challenge
This is my diaper stash. The one that is going into storage for a week.....No my child will not be running around pant less.... the semi-crazy side of me has agreed to spend a week using only flat fold cloth diapers. You know the kind our great grandmas used that are literally like a sheet you must fold?? Yeah....those! But that's not the crazy part.... I am also not going to use my washing machine. That's right, for 7 days EVERY DIAPER T wears will be hand washed!! Oh my fluffy goodness!!! Why you might ask would I CHOOSE to do this?? Weeellll..... I think I miss the challenge I had being on the fire department and the "prepared for an emergency" thing appeals to me. I'm honestly not totally sure just felt it would be a good learning experience. There are a lot of family's out there who have problems affording diapers (even to the point of needing to reuse disposables to stretch their diapers farther!) and feel that for whatever reason, be it cost, laundry,etc, that cloth is not an option. Many people don't even know it still exists, I know we didn't the first time around!! Anyhow we (the 450+ other people doing this and I) are trying to show that it CAN be done cheaply and without a washer and dryer and THERE ARE OPTIONS!!! If nothing else I will have learned basic "survivor" skills and be better equipped to answer questions when people ask. :) So here we go. For seven days we will use only flat diapers and I will hand wash them all!! Want more information about the challenge? Click the link below to visit Dirty Diaper Laundry.
