anyone interested in buying some cloth diapers?

I need to get rid of Eva’s cloth diapering stuff before we move.  Anyone out there interested?  What I have to get rid of was only used on Eva from 14 lbs. to 22 lbs., so for her that was from about 3 to 7 months old.  They are all in great, usable condition with minimal staining.

Here’s what I’ve got:

28 small Mother Ease Sandy’s and 12 doublers

(Mother Ease says these fit babies 8-20 lbs. We used them from about 14-22 lbs.  I have LOVED these.  After cloth diaper 5 babies, these have been my favorite and most leak proof by far.)


7 medium Mother Ease Air-Flow covers

1 one-size Sweet Pea pocket diaper and 3 inserts

2 Clotheez Workhorse brown edge (21-30lbs.) diapers

1 striped handknit merino wool soaker longies size 6+ months

1 red handknit soaker (Lambspride wool yarn) size 9+ months

5 unbleached Chines prefolds with a snappy

2 PUL diaper pail liners

If you’re interested, send me an e-mail to jessica (at) seedpodcraft (dot) com to make me an offer.  I really want these to go to someone who will use them!

Thanks so much!

 

 

Easter

This morning we got up to watch the sunrise and I shared these scriptures with my children.  Oh, how I love that Christ descended below all things that he might comprehend me and my experiences and needs.  I know he lives!

Doctrine and Covenants section 88:

6 He that aascended up on high, as also he bdescended below all things, in that he ccomprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the dlight of truth;

 7 Which truth shineth. This is the alight of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was bmade.

 8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;

 9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;

 10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you astand.

 11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your aunderstandings;

 12 Which alight proceedeth forth from the presence of God tobfill the immensity of space—

 13 The alight which is in all things, which giveth blife to all things, which is the claw by which all things are governed, even thedpower of God who esitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.

 14 Now, verily I say unto you, that through the aredemptionwhich is made for you is brought to pass the resurrection from the dead.

 15 And the aspirit and the bbody are the csoul of man.

 16 And the aresurrection from the dead is the redemption of the soul.

It is finally winter in Colorado!  We got over a foot of snow yesterday, stayed home from church, and today the kids had a day off from their Monday school.  They still did some work at home, and then we headed outside to enjoy the snow.  Eva felt like she NEEDED to be outside, but hated being put down in the snow.   She spent a lot of time on my hip or in the chair on the front porch.  Brenna took her on one sled ride.  If you could hear that photo up there you would know that she would have rather been doing something, anything, else.

Last night as Barry and I were praying together before we got in bed he asked for help in being consistent with something.  I just welled up with the happiest thought-feeling that when we are consistent we just keep getting better.  With consistence things can ONLY get better.  Oh, the blessings of diligence!  Just a little effort in little doses everyday yeilds huge results.  I just haven’t been able to shake that thought of the possibilities of never ending getting-better-ness and that if I create lots of little good habits the bad ones will get crowded out.  But also- just being consistent in one small area of life has lasting effects in other areas.  In my family we have been very consistent with reading the scriptures every night before we put the kids to bed.  We often spend 15 minutes or even less– but the dividends have been huge.  It has been in our family scripture reading that the boys have learned to read.  Thoughtful questions get asked and answered.  We have an anchor for our days.  That is one example I have of actually living diligence.  It is beautiful and fills me with graditude.

I wonder how I’d feel if I applied some consistency to doing house cleaning chores with the kids?

So, we’ll see how this works. I’m up at yoga training, so I’m posting from my iPad. I had one more knitting post I wanted to make before I came up here. We’ll see if I can get all the links to work right and stuff. I’m having a hard time getting my photos to resize how I want them to, but you may just have to see them smaller than usual.

My cute hat is a pattern called “Off Piste“. I really wanted a new cream colored hat and Barry really wanted me to have a hat with a brim, so here you have it. The bottom edge curled a bit funny due to the cables, but I ran some elastic thread through it and that perfected it.

I knit my cowl a while ago with leftover yarn from Eva’s Camilla. The pattern is the Honey Cowl. It got a bit monotonous, but I do love it and wear it often.

Now a little about the project at hand– yoga immersion.

Tonight’s meditation mantra was the natural breath mantra “ham sah”. We naturally make this mantra as we inhale “ham” and exhale “sah” with every breathe. In Sanskrit it means “I am that” (“that” being your inner self, the essential part of you that has always existed, that is connected with God) which in my Mormon mind is “I am a child of God.” So, as all of us children of God are going about breathing we are saying “I am a child of God” with every breath whether we know it or not. What a beautiful thing to tune in to– that our very breathe affirms who we are and whose we are.

It all starts back up tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM. I’ll try to pop in with photos soon.
