Spending my days spending

The humble idea of this blog was to tell about the nice things we've found and to spread a word, in a positive fashion. I just noticed that I keep thinking to myself about the things we buy and buy and buy.

We are a rather wealthy family, 3 kids, both of us are working, we have a house and two cars. Of course we spend money. Not lavishly but we spend, anyway.

I guess I am starting a monologue here about the things we buy or consider buying. Please commment! I am CERTAIN that we are not the only family who spend money and like spending it. However, we are not stupid. We are rather green, I'd say.

Our two youngest kids have used only reusable nappies, washable diapers or cloth nappies, whatever term you like to use. Our favourite has always been FuzziBunz.


Aren't they just gorgeous? I read an excellent text on reusable nappies here: http://www.lovelyadvice.com/nappies.html and it made pretty clear that it is nonsense if people say that it is time-consuming to wash diapers. We've washed a bin of dirty cloth diapers every other day and it is by no means a pile as the amount equals to three bath towels. They dry in a matter of hours and are ready to use again. And believe me, these reusable and washable diapers are far better looking than the disposable paper diapers.

We have also used a lot of organic cotton clothing, the whole family, actually. They tend to stay better looking for longer periods of time. Of course they are slightly more expensive than regular cotton but they are of better quality. Finding eCotton or organic cotton at reasonable prices is not so uncommon these days, either.

Sure, we love Crocs, too, but I'll get to that a bit later on :-)
