My attempt at going "Green"

I've never really thought of myself as "eco-friendly", but lately I've been making changes.  I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself and my family.

I started cleaning with vinegar.  Oh, man, does that stuff stink!  But it works!!  To me it's worth it.  Things just seem cleaner with it.  My bathroom is no longer moldy from a leaky faucet mixed with heat.  My mirrors seem so much more sparkly.  My sinks, counters, and microwave are immaculate.  Never in a million years did I think vinegar would clean so well.  :)  Clean with Vinegar

I've also started cloth diapering our 3 month old daughter during the day.  A very dear friend of mine sent me a ton of diapers and inserts while I was pregnant with Kennedi.  She just recently got big enough to wear them.  They haven't added to my work load at all since I already do SO much laundry anyway.  I have to say I'm very pleased.  At first it was a bit challenging as she was leaking out of them.  We've got the hang of it now.

My next steps will be making my own cloth baby wipes and laundry detergent.  I already breastfeed so all of this just adds to it.  I am excited to be making my family's carbon footprint smaller, even if it is just a tiny amount.  Not to mention the money we will save.  Every penny counts!!
