I do the initial soak, then I drain the water.  Add more hot water to cover, letting the soap get sudsy.  Then I agitate with my hands and then take each diaper and first search for any spots that need a little work and then I just scrub the diapers like crazy by rubbing them together with my hands.  After I'm done with all of the diapers and covers swish them around a bit and the I drain the water and then rinse everything under the running water, one at a time until there are no more suds.  fter each one is rinsed clean I place it in the basin and then wring it out as best I can and then hang them dry (hopefully outside).

Because the flats are 1-ply they rinse really quickly.  I'm guessing start to finish I use less water than I do for a single load in the washing machine (and our normal routine goes through 3 times!)- even with the running water at the end.  Of course softer or harder water might makes it more difficult to get rid of suds.  It's a matter of seeing what works for you.

I can handle corn- that comes out in one piece!  Berries and dried fruit mean nothing but loose poops and stains at our house, I would rather keep the scrubbing to a minimum if possible this week ;)

Oh No!  I actually fared better last night than I imagined (maybe even better than with my fitted!).  We'll see if it was a fluke or if it really is a viable option for us.  We used to use double stuffed prefolds exclusively overnight which were pretty bulletproof for us.  We really struggle with microfiber in general so maybe I need to witch back.  It might be bulkier but who cares overnight, right?

It was so easy- I seriously was looking through my house for something (anything!) to dye after I did my prefolds and flats I was so excited about doing it. 

Ugh- I was in the same boat. Hyperemesis is no joke.

One of my twins was in the Special Care nursery at Abbott too- not for very long though, thankfully.

A FB friend had mentioned that they eradicated the dandelions from their yard by getting all the white-topped ones before they blew away and then pulling everything up.  I'm hoping it works although my neighbors all have dandelions so it probably won't make a huge difference.  Maybe it'll give the grass a chance to get going though.  It was a lot of work though.  My hands are killing me.

That is one thing I miss about Target- all the little random thingamajigs that help with little projects like these!  We have zip-ties, I will keep my eyes peeled for the garden stakes in the One Spot or anything else I could hang like that.  Thanks for the tip Jennifer!

The Simplex might be a good choice.  That's going on my short list.

I love the Tweets print!  I have it in the Capri cover.
