Does anybody here in the US ever order their (baby)diapers from diapers.com?
If not, you should if you want Pampers or Huggies. Their prices are pretty low, but the best part is the free shipping and no sales tax*. So even if you can find a box of diapers locally for a $ less, the salestax will make it more!
It usually takes about 2 days for the package to arrive.
It is so convenient to not have to go to the store, I even buy Ileana's formula from that site!

If you have not signed up before, and you would like to order diapers for the first time, you can use the promotional code "ILEANA" at check-out and you will automatically receive a $10 discount!!!
(I will get a $1 discount everytime you order as well, so it's a win-win situation!)



*sales tax does apply for following states: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Missouri and Nevada

I remember when Ethan got pottie trained. Not having to buy diapers felt like getting a pay raise.
It was the same when he got off formula.

I heard a parent at my work telling someone the other day that it cost her more for formula last month for her twins than it did for their mortgage payment.

Yep.....my son is the Program Director at a big daycare where the teaching is Montessori. The cost per child is $1200 a month.

I don't mind getting up early, Leo. I'm a morning person. I can get up at 5:00 or so and do all kinds of things and have lots of energy. I joke about being "duhhh" in the morning, but I'm really like that at night! If you don't believe me, just check out some of my post responses.

Nancy, it's kind of funny but when I was a teenager I thought that my parents going to bed by 10pm was crazy and that this would not happen to me. But guess what I'm in bed by 10:30 or 11pm during the week(it's hard to stay up)!!!

I need a minimum of 6 solid hours of sleep to function the next day. 10:00 p.m. is the latest I stay up unless it's Friday night and that's about the only night I might make it til....oh....10:10 p.m.

Broken sleeps are the worst for giving you that tired feeling the next day. Does Ethan have bad dreams often?

Not too often, just usually his imagination running away with him. He has always called for me if he had a bad dream or needs a drink or the ceiling fan turned on etc. Even at 12 y/o I still let him bother me if he needs to because it makes him feel more comfortable. He sometimes has a lot of big expectations on him and sometimes he likes to still be taken care of like a kid.
BTW we won our game tonight and we cinched first place. We have another game on Saturday but it doesn't matter for our standings. Playoffs start next week.

Congratulations to Ethan!! You must be so proud.

You are one heck of a great father, Bill. Ethan is one lucky boy.

Hi, Bill. I'm on my second cup of coffee, Dave's at work, and I'm trying to think of ways to keep the girls entertained today.

What're you going to do this fine Sunday?
