For this month, my goal is to make two cloth diapers. I've made one. I cut up an old t-shirt and hoodie, made a few layers, and sewed it up. It functions as well as the bought terrycloth diapers, featuring less bulk; however, it's not as easy to Snappi (red thing in the picture); I will have to rethink my design. Actually, a fitted diaper may be on the agenda. I've got the materials (old t-shirts are great); now I need the time. The diapers I bought are very adequate (though as I mentioned, bulky), only the plastic covers are a sad let-down. They don't fit snugly and they tear easily; in a word: leakage. I'm on the look-out for new ones, except I've not seen any other kinds. What's an environmentally-conscious mama to do?
I love blogging, and as an individual, I've changed a lot since I began. I have learned a whole lot about writing, photography, marriage, gardening; my confidence has grown, and I've jumped into the deep end of parenting. Having a weekly post motivates me to consider and document the positive in my life; I'm inspired to accomplish my goals and look for the adventure in every-day happenings.

Great idea, I love how you put that--that everyone carries a novel inside their head. I wrote a short story about playing in Ashely Creek, and I wrote a children's book about Dead Horse Point, but it would be really fun it sit and write for much longer.
I love blogging too. It's fun to take a few minutes to reflect. I think I also view events a little differently as they happen as well.
I've never thought about everyone having a novel inside. I think that's probably true though. I think my novel would just be about my experiences with life--about growing up and discovering myself.
