Thanks for stopping by!

So I'm a young mom, very interested in putting forth my greastest effort to better myself, my family and my planet. This quest (and chronic diaper rash) lead me to begin cloth diapering my one-year-old daughter.

I've finally gotten around to starting a blog and most entries will probably be reviews on different varieties of diapers and natural/organic baby products and the ocassional mom-thing.

Bumgenius Cloth Diaper Detergent

Last week I recieved my first box of Bumgenius' new diaper detergent. The detergent was developed in partnership with Country Save, a well-liked and respected brand in the diaper laundering world. My first impression when the box landed on my doorstep via UPS (cottonbabies.com ships detergents free with UPS...nice) was "that can't be it...that's way too small". Well, that was it. The box of powdered detergent is about 5"x8"x4" and contains an advertised 66 loads worth of suds.
I'm hoping I can get this to last at least 3 months so I don't feel so ridiculous for spending 12 bucks on suck a tiny box, but we'll see.
I'm not super impressed so far, but I don't hate it yet. I think I just need to adjust the amount I'm using.

I'm pretty sure I won't be buying this box of soap again...I read the day after purchasing it that if you compare this detergent with regular Country Save the ingredients are exactly the same. And, since I can get a large box of it at the comissary for about 6 bucks I'll be going with that in the future.
