Who Am I? Remembering Your True Identity as You Adjust to a New Role as Mom
Who Am I? Remembering Your True Identity as You Adjust to a New Role as Mom

How do you introduce yourself? Daughter? Sister? Friend? Athlete? Musician? Student? Co-Worker? Girlfriend? Wife? There’s nothing wrong with any of these labels, and most of us are comfortable using many of these identifiers at the same time. But when we add “Mom” to that list, the waters get muddied. We’re excited to become moms… until we try to figure out what it means for us as individuals.

The Scoop on Dealing with Your Baby's Poop: What Diaper Should You Use?

You may be wondering if it’s worth it to trade the convenience of disposable diapers for a cheaper, and maybe more environmentally friendly, option of cloth diapers. If that’s you, then keep reading because we have the down and dirty comparisons to help you decide the best option for your family based on your lifestyle and budget.

When it comes to keeping your baby clean and dry, you have more options than you may think. Disposable diapers are convenient, but they can be expensive and harmful to the environment. Cloth diapers are less expensive, but the thought of having to clean them may put you in a firm NO category. But there are other options: hybrid cloth options, biodegradable disposable diapers, and even diaper services. Read on for the pros and cons of each.
