Enjoy that baby – time passes so quickly and they don’t stay little long.

Once you find the balance life becomes easier – just trust this.

Balancing having the standard of living you want against the money you wish to spend is like a see-saw. Some months its up -others its down.

And you are right -as long as you are saving something you are ahead of the game.

So relax – go cuddle that baby.

Yay for you! It’s so easy to get carried away and end up living life as an extreme tightwad (or an extreme spender), but you’re right – life is also for living, so it’s fun to splurge once in a while. So long as you’re saving… you’re moving in the right direction.

Good for you, Mrs. Money! If things are going good financially and you have extra money to spend, then I’m glad you are doing a little splurging. :-)

[...] a few new outfits for her that didn’t come from a thrift store. I’ve purchased new cloth diapers that I didn’t really need just because I wanted to try them or they are cute (I can also [...]

My toddler is out of diapers just recently – so we had a mega clean session and have passed them on to another new Mum (I’m 42 and three quarters so probably am NOT going to need them again LOL)

Showed her the cost savings on a spreadsheet and she is hooked – or shocked at how much these will save her in the next few years.

No children yet – but cloth diapers are high on our priority list when we do have children.

I just started with cloth wipes. I made mine out of some flannel I wasn’t using. I hadn’t thought of tee shirts. What a great use for worn out or torn shirts!

I just started using cloth wipes about a week ago. Right now I am just using them for #1 and what a difference in the amount of TP we are NOT going through! I can’t believe it. I made my cloth wipes out of flannel that I was going to use to make a quilt but after 4 years I assume the quilt will never be so….cloth wipes it is! I love them! Between the softness and the fact that they don’t rip apart like TP…..where have they been all my life?!?!?!

Comment on How to “No-Poo” Shampoo Alternative: Don’t use Shampoo Again! by Leslie S.

Your explanation was AMAZING! For some reason, I find it difficult to wrap my head around many things until I understand them fully and completely and your post did this for me! I realize that this is nearly a year after your post, but I couldn’t leave this unsaid:oD I think I’m ready to try out this method for my unruly hair now…I’m worried about the transition period though because I’m a bit impatient:o/

I have always realized that my hair was more unruly on the top of my head (not unruly, more like a hot mess) but the hair at the base of my neck is actually kind of nice and dare I say even has “cute curls”?…and after reading ALL of the posts to this article/blog (whatever it’s classified as) I think that maybe the hair on top is so damaged because I make it a point to put more shampoo up there to get hairspray/products out and the hair at the base of my neck barely gets any product and as a result, gets a lot less shampoo and is therefore less damaged! Sorry for the long response, but I had to share my revelation with SOMEBODY, and I literally figured this all out as I was typing:oD
