Everyday Things


"...For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." Philippians 4:11
Brought to you by Everyday Mommy


This is a new-to-me bit of contentment, because we are new the world of cloth diapering. But, every time I do a load of diapers, and am able to spend just a few minutes pulling warm diapers from the dryer and folding them for my shelf, I am content. Yes, it does add an extra couple of loads of laundry a week to my to-do list. But it saves me loading both girls into the van, trying to squeeze in a run to Target in between the baby's feedings, paying that costly amount even for store brand diapers, and then coming home later to find the 12 other items that somehow made it into my buggy and budget when really, all I went to the store for was diapers. (I lurve my Target). I'm happy and content looking at my pile of diapers and know that I am caring for my baby and saving my family money.
