Throw together - chili-ish soup

This was a throw together that won big with the mr and the babe. I threw everything in the picture in a pot and called it dinner. The freezer bag is a pack of previously cooked hamburger meat. I usually will buy 3-5 pounds and cook it all with my staple seasoning and then divide and freeze it.
This made enough that i froze half. With a little one running around controlling pretty much everything, its nice to have something healthy to just grab and throw in the microwave.

Cloth diapers (poopy style)

So, we are now proud parents to a wonderful one year old. Which means that i have changed 3.9 billion diapers of which at least 1.3 billion were poopy! Then, those diapers (cloth) had to ve washed. At first, i could just throw them in the washer because newborn poopy isnt solid. As the diaper count grew the poopy thickened, yikes. I love cloth diapers for our little one. There are so many reasons why it's the better choice. The downside is cleaning them. At first, i was literally hands on. I would kind of shake them in the toilet, in the water!!! If your a parent, you're reading this like " yeah, you do whatever you have to for your little loves " non parents are reading this like "what!?! No fricking way" haha
I did what i had to, but i didn't like it. I keep thinking i wish i could spray it off but i didn't want to use our kitchen sink. Then, i hit the mr. With my idea to spray them into the toilet and three trips to store later, poopy diapers are no longer my nemesis.
Stay green, clean, and classy
