Over the last 9 years my cloth diaper stash has changed greatly.  This year I pulled out what I had and grabbed a couple of things I have been wanting to try out.  It was a great way for me to take inventory of what we really have and what we need for baby #4 arriving in a few months.  With this challenge I have pitched lots of excess that wasn't getting used or wasn't work well anymore.

So what are we using for the challenge??  Well probably way more than we should however since I work full time, I have an older child active in sports, we also have a 150 cow dairy farm, and no one else will reuse covers I have to make sure I have enough to last.  

Covers

3 Thristies Pocket diapers ($59.85)

1 other random pocket ($10.95)

9 Flip covers ($134.55)

1 Econobum Cover ($11.95)

1 Pooters Cover (Free)

Flats

23 Flour Sack Towels ($18.40) 

5 Geffen Baby Hemp/Jersey flats ($42.50)

1 Geffen Baby Fladdle ($12.48)

15 receiving blankets (Free all were received as gifts) 

Accessories 

3 Snappies ($9.99)

20 Geffen Baby Wipes ($24.68)

1 Wet Bag (Free with purchase, normally $14.50)

Roll of Viva Paper towels* ($2.00)

*used as liners when using diaper rash cream*

So the total cost for my stash excluding receiving blankets is $341.85.  Now that is a substantial upfront investment however I didn't buy all of it at one time.  Most of it has been used for 2+ years some of it going on 4.  When we had a little wiggle room in our budget I would grab a few things here and there.  Honestly this is more than I paid for the stash because lots of things were bought on sale.  

What's in your stash?

Our oldest had a great show season and brought home Grand & Reserve at almost every show he went to!

Our middle is just enjoying life as a 3 year old on the farm.

At our local show both boys got a chance to show lambs & dairy cattle.

Our oldest in the championship drive at state fair with his Brown Swiss heifer, Reece.  This heifer has since calved and had an adorable little heifer we have named Paige.

Farmboy2 isn't old enough to show just yet but he loves helping out in the wings.  Here he is holding Catrina.

Our last show of the season is one of our favorites.  These folks do a great job!

Then came Halloween with a lumberjack, Little Red Riding Hood & a hunter

That hunter got a new dog named Copper late in November.

Our oldest enjoys showing so much that he has already started breaking next years showstring calves.

Visiting Santa was an adventure this year...our sweet farmgirl hated the experience but the boys thought it was great LOL

For those of you interested in the Etsy shop you can find it here

Below are a few of the items I have made since opening...

obviously it's mostly girly items ;)

One of my favorite dresses to date!

This romper is so cute and a wonderful fall piece.

  These 2 flannel & lace tunics are so soft and adorable!

Our Christmas outfit has me swooning!

Then a few accessories for moms.  Yes they are dishcloths but let's be honest if we have to do dishes let's make sure it's cute.  

Hope you enjoyed catching up with this farm family!  

Until next time,
