Flats and Handwashing Challenge: Day 6

Today is Day 6 of the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge hosted by Dirty Diaper Laundry. I will be using flat cloth diapers for a whole week. You can read about the challenge and why I'm doing it in my Day 1 post.

I went to the grocery store yesterday and E was is a cover with a pad folded flat laid into a diaper cover. I put her in the shopping cart and started looking for what I needed. All of a sudden I notice poop on the cart seat. In my head I'm thinking "Oh my GOD!" E had a poo explosion! The poop escaped her diaper and was all over the cart seat. I turned red with embarrassment and quickly placed the items in my cart on a random shelf and speed walked right out the door. The worst part, I had NO wipes! I did have some paper towels so I wiped of the cart, laid and old sweater over her car seat and strapped her in.

Flats and Handwashing Challenge: Day 1

If you noticed, I've had the little button above posted on the side of my blog for a few weeks now. This is because I am taking part in the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge hosted by Dirty Diaper Laundry. 

For 7 days I will be using only flat cloth diapers and handwashing them in an effort to prove that cloth diapering can be affordable and accessible to all. You can learn more about the rules and why this challenge was started by visiting the announcement post.  This year there are over 450 participants from all over the world!

This is my first time participating in the challenge and also my first time using flats, ever! I purchased flats specifically for this event and will be blogging about my experience each day for those interested in reading about my journey.
