Day 2 of the Flats Challenge!

I handwashed my first load of flats today and I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it was. I washed five at a time in a bucket sitting in the bathtub, rinsed them all, wrung them out, and hung them to dry!  They smelled soooo good after washing so I was happy about that.

I spent a total of $50 on my flats stash.

10 flats were gifted to me: FREE

20 flats I purchased from a friend: $30

2 Flip diaper covers bought in a seconds sale: $10 each

3 Snappis (One from each year's GCDC: FREE

You can barely diaper a baby for a month for that price using disposibles and these items will last me for years!

Not to mention how trim they are as seen in this picture below!

Day 1 of the Flats & Handwashing Challenge!

I wasn't the only one excited about the flats challenge! Eli was laughing and clapping as I put on the first flat of the day :)

I decided to take this challenge because I love cloth diapering with all my heart but I do tend to spend alot on diapers. I wanted to prove to myself and others that you can cloth diaper for VERY little and even without a washer and dryer! I have never handwashed diapers before so this will definately be a challenge for me.

Flats Challenge coming up!

I recently became a Real Diaper Circle Leader for the RDA and it made me REALLY want to do the flats challenge this year. I am so excited to go a whole week using flats and handwashing/hangdrying them. Let's hope I can stick to it and write updates here. :)
