Lizzie posted this in another thread, it's a great article.

As another Mainer, I can say it's all true!

There was an article about Frugal Living and how this has been a new takeoff on the economy in either Womans Day or Family Circle this month.
Told about people making homemade bread for .40 cents a loaf, using cloth diapers, eating at home more etc. I was amazed to see this.

I'm so glad people are starting to turn back to cloth diapers. I know several gals who use them, in part because of the cheaper cost but mostly because of the environmental aspect of disposables.

Me too. When my babies were young back in the 80s I was like a dinosaur using them. I had a diaper service and it was very easy. In the beginning I was using 100 diapers a week when they first came home. It just seemed softer to me also? I know they have advanced but it was very easy.
Somewhere on FL I put how to make your own baby food. Maybe I can find it. I only bought a few jars of store bought to go like to the park or something. Extremely easy to do.
