Its official, we are finally there.....

White trash...we all know them, we all have friends that we sometimes whisper they are, but today, I think I've finally made it there.....

I've been doing cloth diapers for a year now, and I have to say, NO regrets. In the last 12 months, I've only had a handful of leaks (but who doesn't have them in disposable anyway??!) and I've had 2 handfuls of learning curves with them. I LOVE my diapers and now I'm embarking on making my own....but I'm having a battle with myself about spending my hard earned monthly allowance (thats for another post) on a 300$+ serger. Once I have a serger, I'm willing to commit to making the cloth, but not until....anyway, back to the topic at hand....

I have been really good about using baking soda to keep my diapers clean and fresh, but since the last little one has come around, I'm finding my time is getting shorter and shorter with had washings. I do the best I can, but I'm starting to see a few more stains than I would like (and when I say that, I mean there ARE stains...) So, I broke down today and hung all of Elsjes diapers on my deck. NOW....before you start judging me....I would hang them on a clothes line that is out of sight from the world, but the covenants in my homeowners association don't allow clothes lines in your yard....so I'm improvising.

I hung them all with clothes pins around the rod iron on my deck and after I hung them, I laughed an evil laugh (something like MUAHAHAHAHAHAH) then came inside and told Peter we were officially white trash. I think I laughed for two reasons: I've very clever to get around the neighborhood covenants, but also cause I feel uber dumb. ha!

BUT, if the sun bleaching works, I WILL do it again......enjoy the view.......

After re-looking at my pictures...I just burst out laughing again....
