Snap EZ Review

I was sent a Snap EZ diaper to review and have to say, it is one of Destructo's favorite diapers because the one I got is red.  You can check out the diaper here.  I have to say I really like it.  The inner is made of microfleece and is very soft and is milled in the US.  It is stay dry which is nice for overnight diapers. The outer layer is composed of PLU.

They have four adjustable rise settings and are said to fit the baby from 8-35 pounds.  This diaper is similar in size to a Rumparooz or Fuzzibunz diaper.  The elastic is nice and tight on this diaper which I really like to prevent leg leaks.  It is also tight on his back which I have had problems which I like to stop back leaks.  This is a very fitted pocket diaper.

Overall I really like this diaper.  I love that it is made in the US by work at home moms.  I didn't have any leaks and I used this diaper every time it was clean for three weeks (or possibly more I lost track of time whoops!)  Destructo seemed comfortable in it and the elastics didn't even leave the dreaded red marks that some do.

Here are two pics of Destructo wearing his diaper.  Please pardon the crappy not looking at the camera pics.  He was not in the mood to model his red diaper.

So How are those Resolutions Going?

February edition

So in an attempt to hold me more accountable for my New Year's resolutions this year, I plan on updating you guys each month how things are going.  Maybe this will motivate me a little bit more.  

1)  Couch to 5K/ running.  This one is going the best of all.  As I said in this post, I successfully ran my first 5k in decent time and found out after that I was 35th out of 75 in my age group.  So I was happy.  My time could have been even better, but I didn't think I was going that fast and stopped to tie my jacket around my waist wasting time.  

I am still loving/hating running.  I love that I can see that I am getting in shape and can run without feeling like death now.  But I kind of hate motivating myself to run.  I overdid it last Sunday and haven't ran since and I have to go today but am sleepy and need to get cleaning done.  Bah.  But I will since I plan on doing three more 5K's before the year is up.

2)  Organizing my house-- This one was going great the first half of January and then I got super busy at work and on the weekends and I have slacked off since then.  FlyLady isn't going at all since I can't seem to keep up with the daily/weekly cleaning let alone decluttering.  I did use one of the other links and made a monthly cleaning schedule that I posted on my mirror so it would constantly be on my mind.  Yep I see it and feel guilty about what I am not doing.  

But I will say that I got my closet completely cleaned out and organized and donated two giant garbage bags of clothes we don't wear anymore to Goodwill and have another half bag started.  So I have gotten somewhere.  We also straightened a tiny bit in the office and I talked my hubby into taking out the ledge that I posted pics of here that are a hot spot for clutter.  If it isn't there, I can't clutter it and it will open up the living room into the dining room and probably make that area more functional as well.  Overall, I need to get back on this one but it isn't going horribly either.
New closet organizer.  I still need to get more canvas baskets to hide the stuff in the cubes.

Guitars are going to get hung on the wall.

3)  Blogging--  As you can see, I got the new blog design and love it.  It is pretty and more functional.  I love the social media buttons.  I have done fairly well sticking to my blogging schedule except on Thursdays.  I aim to post Monday through Thursday and then one extra post either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.  Thursdays had become breastfeeding post day and since Destructo self weaned I just don't have as much to talk about.  I plan on figuring something out for that day though.  Any suggestions?

4)  Bible reading-- This one is hit or miss.  I do read something from the Bible every day so I guess that is a win, but I am still not devoting as much time as I would like to before bed.  Hopefully this improves this month.  I have just been so sleepy lately.

5)  Couponing--  This one is a complete and utter failure.  I haven't so much as clipped a single coupon this month.  This depresses me.  Oh wait I lied.  I did make it to Publix once last month.  Saved 50 some bucks. I win.  I succeed at life.  You know what made me realize that I had couponed.  The fact that we have Campbell's Chunky soup.  Haha.  I reuse to buy it for full price and Mr. Destructo loves it for his lunch.  Okay so this one isn't a complete failure, but it is close.

So how are you guy's doing in your New Year's resolutions?
