GIVEAWAY: $100 gift certificate for trying out cloth diapers

Okay as I mentioned here I am a cloth diaper advocate. I mean who doesn't like saving money, the planet, and most importantly- our baby's bums!??

When I made the switch I called Kimberly from Boise Cloth Diapers  and she answered all my questions. She also came to MY HOUSE to show me how to cloth diaper! She broke it down in bite size pieces for me to figure out what worked best for me and was always available if I had any questions! The coolest thing is that you can TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! 

So, I have some amazing news... Kimberly so kindly is partnering with Weeds to Wishes and giving away a $100 gift certificate... yes you read right...a $100 gift certificate to give cloth diapering a try. You can purchase items from her store www.boiseclothdiapers.com.  and yes, she does ship out of state!

So offer stars today and ends on HALLOWEEN night before midnight!!

I'm a Cloth Diaper Addict

My 4 reasons for choosing cloth

#1 SAVES THE PLANET: Did you know that 5 million tons of untreated waste and a total of 2 billion tons of urine feces, plastic and paper are added to landfills each year? It takes around 80,000 pounds of plastic and 200,000 trees a year to manufacture the disposable diapers just for US babies alone! Not to mention that it takes up to 500 years for most diapers to decompose! That’s a lot of poop and plastic! Also, did you know that the fine print on disposable diapers tells you to “Shake baby soil into the toilet.” I mean REALLY…how many of you actually do that? I know I didn’t.

#2 SAVES MONEY:  Did you know that on average a person changes 6,000 diapers from birth to potty training?  It’s no wonder that diapers are a 7 billion dollar industry costing parents at least $2,500 on diapers and wipes on one child. If financial savings is your reason and you are aren’t afraid of a little extra step when diapering- you can cloth diaper for $200! That is a saving of $2,300! The best part is that once you have all the supplies- no need to buy more for the next child! You already have it! Here for a diaper calculator from diaperpin.com

#3 BETTER FOR MY BABY: Did you know that there are concerns that disposable diapers contain is dyes, Sodium Polyacrylate (the gel), and Dioxin ( by-product of bleaching paper)? It is also noted that cloth diapers cause less diaper rashes due to their materials that actually wicks away the moisture from your baby’s bum.

#4 THEY ARE SO CUTE:  I mean really- how could you argue with me on this one. They are just so cute on little bums and the bright colors and patterns make diaper changing more fun for me. After all, I have 6,000 of them to change right? Might as well make it more fun!

So, if you are thinking about the possibility of making the switch- stay tuned because I will be talking more about it this week. Stay tuned for more on how to get started tomorrow on How Does She!

Also, here are some links I found about saving cash with cloth diapers...take a looksie.
