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

AIOs, Pocket, and Prefolds...Oh, my!

As mentioned in my previous blog, cloth diapers are not your momma's cloth diapers any more. Now, the lingo can be daunting. There are AIOs, AI2s, diaper covers, doublers, fitted diapers, flat diapers, hybrid diapers, inserts, liners, one-size diapers, pocket diapers, and prefolds. When I first began my cloth diaper research, all of the different options overwhelmed me, and I didn't know where to begin. So, I did the only thing I knew to do...I asked other moms! While every mom will have a different story to share with cloth diapers, you still get some very good information. I learned why moms liked the diapers they chose, some of the downsides, and the costs to the different diaper systems. I also began to develop my own decisions on how I wanted to start the cloth diapers. When I first thought about using cloth diapers, I was dead set against anything that wasn't an all-in-one (AIO). These are the Porsches of the diaper world. There's no messing with diaper pi
