Cloth Diaper Friday!




We didn't start JoHanna in Cloth until she was a year old. The past six months for us have been amazing as far as saving and helping out the Enviorment. I think I may have bought 5 packages to keep on hand for when she has a rash or when I have to work. dad's not a huge fan of cloth so when he is home with her he uses disposables. First starting out we didn't have a whole lot of money to invest. I cut the costs by searching on EBay and entering giveaways. As much as the one I recieved from Ebay work my favorite diapers are Charlie Banana's! Dad won a 6 pack for Fathers Day so it was a great surprise for me and a great help to our Family.

You think Cloth isn't for you and Eewwww I don't want to wash those, But really it is simple! After having JoJo I got over the gross factor of alot of things! Washing out a poopy diaper is a breeze. Did you know that your supposed to shake off Poop into the toilet on disposables too? Check your packages, some even say it on there.

Washing is Simple! Normally I run JoJo's Diaps through a cold water rinse, Hot Wash cycle with Cloth Diaper Soap, and another rinse cycle after. Depending on the weather I will toss them in the Dryer for a little bit but I prefer to Sun them! Do you Cloth Diaper? Why? Why Not?

Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog JoJo Beanz! Here you will find updates on my Adventures with JoJo! My plan is to share with you creative free things to do at home, outside adventures, products JoJo loves to use or play with along with sharing her great milestones with you! I am hoping that I can share as much as possible about my up and downs with parenting also!

A little info on us: We are a Family of three Mom, Dad & JoJo! We live in Massachusetts. Currently Dad is a Machinist for a Graphite Co. about 45 minutes away from home and I work part time bartending on the weekends! I love being a Stay at home mom and learning as much as I can from JoJo along with teaching her as much as I can. Becoming a Mom was tough, never did I think I would be laid off from one of the greatest jobs I ever had but then finding out I was pregnant along with renting my fathers second floor apartment from him. But now I couldn't imagine my life any other way!
