Diapers, Diapers, Diapers

If your a mother or any parent or caregiver you know that diapers are the most used item in a babies life.  You would think someone would find a way to make it cheaper but in reality they seem to be making them more expensive.  It has been my husband and mine's goal to find the cheapest diapers possible.  We have price compared at Walmart, Diapers.com, and Smith's come to find out online is cheaper than going to the store to buy them.  The reason they are cheaper is that you can buy more in bulk and if you spend enough then you can receive free shipping which makes it even better.  We have found diapers as cheap as 15 cents a diaper!  This is my advice, look at the price per diaper and not the amount of diapers in a package or the overall price.
We recently found these white cloud diapers (at Walmart), unknowingly that they were premium diapers, they were 15 cents a diaper.  I didn't even know what a premium diaper was until they got here, but oh my goodness they mean premium when they say premium.  These diapers are so soft it's incredible!  Also they are super absorbent and keep your baby dry.  Now I'm starting to sound like an advertisement for these diapers but they are so amazing I thought I'd share my awesome affordable find with those of you out there reading this.
Changing diapers has got to be one of the things I like the least but luckily our baby doesn't seem to mind at all, in fact he prefers to have the diaper off and be naked, and oh my he is so cute when he's naked.
No matter what kind of diapers you like or your baby likes there is always a way to find them cheaper, but search online first.  The store charges more than you should spend willingly and we are all trying to save money these days so save the $$ and get nice cheap diapers.

Busy Days!!

Recently we have started back at school which means both of our schedules have picked up once again.  My husband spends most of his days at the school either studying or going to class and I stay at home with the baby until I have my one class a day.  We have had to color code our schedule for everyday just to keep it all straight and so we know where we should be at certain times.
Going to school and having a baby is hard but worth it.  I'm so close to being done there is no stopping now.  We have come up with a system that works for us but may not work for everyone.  I am only taking 6 credits in order to be able to save money by not spending it on child care and so my husband can remain a full time student.  My husband gets up early to study (he's a morning person) then he goes to work.  After that I go to class and then after class we swap the baby mid walk in between classes.  I take the baby and go home while he finishes his day of classes and then it's back to work for him.  It may seem like we never see each other but in fact we see each other more than you'd think.  He's home by 5 p.m. most days which leaves plenty of time in the evening for us to do things together.  We even get to take an institute class together on Tuesday nights.
Life is so busy we can't forget that we need to spend time with those we love so we always try to make time for each other throughout the busy day.  It may just be us sitting down together to watch a movie on Netflix or play a game with our friends and even sometimes it's just cuddling up on the bed that is the best time of the day, but no matter when or where we always know that we love each other.
