Reverb10: Friendship
Dec. 16th, 2010 09:52 amDecember 16 – Friendship How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst? (Author: Martha Mihalick)
This made me think for a bit. 2010 went by so quickly that a lot of things have been a blur. But without doubt the biggest change in perspective came when I was contemplating cloth vs. disposable diapers. I have been to free workshops on how to do it. Read up on a few websites as well but somehow I was just feeling all "ewww" - "I have to handle the poop in cloth?!" Then came in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
voyageofdreams in the picture. This is a friend whom I have never met, but have followed her journal through the years trotting around the globe. I wish we had met when we were living in KL but then we were still new to each other. But she took some time out of her busy schedule (she's a mom of two) and shared (online chat) with me the lowdown on Cloth 101. Each and every step involved, what I would need, etc.
After that, it seemed like such an easy thing to do. As I now am into 6.5 months of using cloth & occasional disposables, I am just amazed how easy it was. I still find using cloth easier than disposables - the disposing is so much easier (we use a diapering service since our laundry is shared and it saves time and not much more expensive). I feel less guilty as I throw the used cloth in the bin for washing and reuse than when I take out that full disposable diaper that just goes in the trash.
Lets see my endurance through it once the little one starts on solids... ;) Maybe another chat with Kirsteen for the motivation is in place. But I owe her a big thanks for the talk!
