Best "Tax Break" Ever

After working on my taxes for a couple hours last Thursday, the mail carrier knocked on the door. I knew exactly what it was - Diapers!!!!! Yes, that is the level of excitement I have for diapers. Actually, it could be in all caps and use a few more exclamation points. Anyway, I ordered Mina new diapers last Saturday. I wanted to try bamboo and hemp since they are more absorbent and should feel nicer on Mina's bum than the cheap-o prefolds we have been using (the cheap ones still work better than disposables though and you get a lot more for the same price, so a great way to start out). I also got a couple more Snappis and an uber-cute wetbag by Monkey Foot Designs. For those who don't know, wetbags are where the dirty dipes go when you are out of the house. They are waterproof on the inside and hold the stink in. They also have a ton of other possible uses - swimsuits, wet clothes, make-up bag, etc. My original order included some sample liners, the wetbag, a fitted diaper, a set of 3 bamboo prefolds (GroVia), and 2 hemp prefolds (Geffen baby). But because I ordered from Dearest Diapers I got freebies too. This time it was a set of fleece liners and a sample of rash cream.

Mina with the loot

It was a really great reward for all the hard work put into taxes. Of course, I couldn't try the diapers out right away since the natural fibers have to be prepped first so they are actually absorbent (kind of like towels). But we are using them now and loving everything. I really love Dearest Diapers. It is a small family run business near Sacramento. I placed my first order there since I could get a free diaper on an order over $39 (it was a really nice one too). I ordered on a Friday night and it arrived at my door on Monday! CA to DC in three days when two of those days are over the weekend? I was blown away. Great customer service, increasing selection and promo codes kept me hooked. So if you happen to need some cloth diapers (or other baby-related things), I would highly recommend looking at Dearest Diapers. Getting this lovely package of Fluffy Mail made the afternoon of taxes much much better. And Mina was pretty excited about it too.
