How I became green.
I started being green while I was a teenager I had started doing an extra chore. With the help of my parents and little sister I recycled cans. At that time it was also for extra money a few cents for just one can. In my families house we reused paper and plastic bags.
When I moved out and started living with my husband at the time my boyfriend I would drive what I could recycle to a neighboring grocery store with bins for all recycling items. Another step but too much time to go out.
When the trash provided started a new recycling program with one huge bin I was in love instead of just recycling cans glass and paper in the three bin the ability to recycle more from yugort containers to huge cardboard boxes. But then I thought lets not stop there I stopped using paper towels to clean with and went with kitchen towels some rags.
Hell when we where buying some things for the house to fix a few things I caught sight of reusable sponges which I had to beg my husband for. Hell as soon as i heard about wool balls I grabbed some wool yarn that I had plenty of and made a few wool balls.
So the next step will be with the biggest purchase for the twins diapers. I had decided if I can do all this recycling and reusing I can do cloth diapers. So I've been starting my stash from making homemade diapers, buying anything I can find at consignment stores, and signing up for giveaways. (Which I hope I can get a couple) We can't afford buying online or from our local cloth diaper store yet, but I'm confident that it can be done. It will be a tough road, but I like to be positive about it.

Introduction
Well, I'm sure that many people would think what the hell is this woman thinking. Starting a blog about cloth diapering not just with one baby but with twins even at times I think that myself. First I would like to introduce myself I'm Samara a soon to be mom of twin boys married to my wonderful husband who was one of my best friends in high school. I knit and crochet as well as sewing, we love to read and love video games.
I'm hoping to start this blog with a good start and and what better way to do it then an introduction.
At first I had thought of starting this post after the twins are born as a series of posts for the first few weeks we start to juggle everything to some sort of normalcy but then decided that introduction would be better before the twins arrived so I that you can get to know a little about myself and what I hope to accomplish with this blog. But I do plan on making a series of posts when they are here. When I first wrote this pose I was 25weeks along. The last picture I took was around 18-20 weeks.
The goal of this blog will be my journey of cloth diapering the boys from as soon as I can either from birth or as soon as they can fit. Either from using popular cloth diapers or from any handmade cloth diapers from various patterns. Doing all this with a limited budget. So I'm hoping we can cloth diaper with no problem. Why do I want to cloth diaper would help you know why I'm doing this. One of the reasons would be to have one less person using disposable diapers with two in diapers and diaper changes being 12+ a day not including changing at night.
I will also if i have the chance to be doing giveaways as well as linking giveaways from other sites.
Here are a few more pictures of my huge belly.
I'm right now at 36 weeks and these boys are suppose to be coming soon. And I've only gotten so much of the cloth diapers, I've got more sposies as gifts then cloth.... Well I guess it can do till their umbilical cords fall off. Still have to go to the store and get a few more cloth and various stuff.
Well until we can get settle once they are here I will be trying my best to post about giveaways of various fluff. Maybe one day have a few giveaways as well as start a non-profit for the Pacific North West. One step at a time, and thanks for coming.

Padded Tush Stats
I love cloth diaper reviews they give me a general ideas of where I would like to invest my money into cloth diapers. Well here is another website that gives out reviews on cloth diapers I also like she does surveys that cloth diapering moms and dads can fill out to let others of the cloth diapering community know what they think about the diapers and techniques they use. So far I like this website for the reviews available for cloth diapers and can not wait for when my little guys are born to put in my two cents of reviews on this website.
BabyKicks 3G OS Pocket Giveaway 11-15 (CLOSED)
Baby kicks giveaway with Padded Tush Stats sponsored by Babykicks. I'm thinking this might make a perfect over night solution to a night time heavy wetter. Love also the fleece gusset interesting concept to bring in air.
While your there fill out some surveys about your cloth diapering methods.
