Bummis Whisper Pant Nylon Pull-On

Since I began my diaper cover reviews with my highest praise, I thought the obvious next review is the cover that receives my lowest praise: the Bummis Whisper Pant Nylon Pull-On.

Now, if you're looking for a diaper cover with the greatest cost efficiency, then this is the cover for you. At $6/cover, you can't beat the cost. And, if your mother used cloth diapers, she'll probably tell you that this type of cover isn't so bad. This is the diaper cover that everyone first thinks of when they think of cloth diapering. It's the all nylon, completely pull-on, if-your-baby-poops-you're-going-to-regret-it diaper cover.

Bummis makes some great covers, so please don't let this review stop you from looking at their other products, but you may think twice about purchasing this pant nylon pull-on.

Just to show you how little this diaper does...my extremely frugal husband decided to purchase one of these in our first order because of the low cost factor. His thought was, if it's cheap, I might as well try it out. Well, after trying it out once, he was absolutely convinced that the cost of this diaper cover doesn't validate using it. If ANYTHING leaks through the cloth diaper, it will get all over your baby, and you'll be bathing Baby on-the-go. Not my idea of a fun-filled day out and about.

So, needless to say, this diaper cover receives my lowest rating. I don't think you can get much worse than this!

I'm no longer telling my kids to have fun

Today, I've made an important realization that is changing the way that I talk to my children. I am no longer going to tell them to have fun. Don't get me wrong, I desperately desire that my children find joy, happiness and laughter through numerous experiences and adventures. But, my children's definition of fun and mine have two VERY different meanings. I'll give you an example. My almost four-year-old son loves to destroy things. He's like his dad - a man who just wants to learn how things work, as well as cause and effect. So, he takes apart toys, sister's dolls, kitchen appliances, and more. He tears books because "the story was in the wrong order." He pushes buttons - both literally and figuratively. He colors on walls, floors, computer monitors, furniture, carpet and more because he wants to create maps and "building plans" for his Duplos. This is his idea of fun . Do you see my dilemma? His idea of fun is so completel

Leadership Mom: SWOT Analysis

In business, leaders often analyze our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats through a SWOT analysis. So, if we are going to look at our role as moms as being the greatest leadership opportunity to us, let's start with analyzing ourselves and our kids. Here's the SWOT I developed for my family: Family SWOT Analysis As a doting mother, there are hundreds of strengths that I could put up here for my kids. Their hugs, kisses, bedtime stories and prayers, the fact that they come to me when they're seeking healing from an injury (physical or emotional), the notes and drawings they make for me, their precious hearts when they try to help me or that they've learned how to use the Keurig to bring me coffee in the morning...I could go on and on. Now, here's the part where we get honest with ourselves. Yes, we love our kids and we love our family (or, hopefully, most of the time), but we are not perfect. Nor should we be perfect. As we analyze oursel

Where has the Golden Rule gone?

You would have to be living in a cave or some extremely remote location with no access to satellite or wireless reception in order to not hear or read about American politics and the upcoming elections. It's everywhere...and it's an all out war. Or, at least that's what it seems like to me. I usually try not to say too much about politics because I was taught that talking about politics in polite conversation was rude and uncivil. Today's state of social media and 24-hour news has proven to me that this lesson is, sadly, true. As a parent, I am trying to instill a sense of respect in my children. Yet, how am I to do this in a world where everyone is out to get anyone who thinks, speaks, looks, or acts differently than they do? No, this isn't always about politics. But, let's face it, we've politicized everything. There has been no subject left untouched in this year's political race. There's no topic deemed to be out of bounds. So, where
