Reusable nappies

Some people might think this is weird but I want to use reusable nappies. I just don't like to throw things away, especially if I don't have to. I am not a crazy environmentalist; I just like to get good use out of things. Like, I would much rather spend twice as much on a dress if I know it's going to last for longer than a season.
This site has a lot of information about reusable, or what they call "real" nappies. It's good to know your options so you don't invest tons of money just to find that it's not what you need. They sell all different kinds of nappies and are more than happy to advise you and answer all your questions.

They made a video by them about how to use muslin squares as a nappy on a newborn. 

Plus they look pretty cool. They aren't cheap but boy, are they stylish. These are the two patterns I got for Ham from Amazon.com

Today Ham is the size of a honeydew melon.

The top is vintage from +Etsy and the jeans are by A Pea in the Pod.

My husband and I started to pack the hospital bag. There are so many things they tell you to bring, how do people pack all of them!? I keep looking at the little baby clothes and it kind of blows my mind that there will be a little person in those clothes soon. A little person who will be half me, half him and completely our responsibility. Grown up.

I don't usually bother with resolutions. However, this year I've made a "try to be a good mom" to do list:

Happy new year everybody xxxx

Quinoa love

Quinoa has become a real staple in my diet lately. It is amazing, really and truly. This super grain is packed with loads of goodness, most importantly protein, fiber, and iron. I know it's not fashionable to talk about constipation but lets get real. There is not a woman who has been pregnant who doesn't know. Quinoa is your cure. And iron is important because you have so much more blood in your body and anemia can lead to preterm labor.

So, here are my 5 favorite ways to eat the stuff:

Greek quinoa salad

Quino, avacado, and feta

Quinoa scramble

Warm berry quinoa

Southwestern quinoa and beans
