Ok. For those of you Mommas or Daddys looking to save some dough on diapers…here is my current “best deal.”

{Note: this is only for those of you who use disposable diapers. If you cloth diaper…leave a comment because I’d love to talk to you about it. I’m considering making the switch when Owen is born.}

I currently buy diapers on Amazon and it has really saved us some cash!

Here is the back story on our diapering situation…if you don’t care and just want the facts about how I save money…skip on down friend!

Hudson wears size 3 diapers. I am just going to do all my examples with size 3’s because it is what we use and too complicated to break the savings down in all the different sizes. So if your baby is in 3’s – hip hip hooray for you – because I am doing all the price comparison work for you!

Hudson wears Luvs. I think I said before that I used & loved Pampers in the beginning (size NB and 1) but after that I started using less pricey brands and have been completely happy with them.

So, I’ve tried Pampers, Huggies, Target brand, and Luvs…and here is my opinion from our experience.

Luvs are to Pampers what Target brand are to Huggies.

The fit of Luvs & Pampers are VERY similar. The fit of Target brand and Huggies are VERY similar.

Luvs & Pampers fit BEST on my skinny boy who is always on the move.

…December has snuck up a little quicker than usual this year!

Here I am. December 7th. Eighteen days left until Christmas. 18! I have done nothing about Christmas cards yet. 2010 has been a rough year for card sending in the Stone household.

When Hudson was born I was too caught up in enjoying our new little cutie (and trying to figure out how to breastfeed him. and changing his diapers. and then feeding him some more. and then quick! taking a nap for the moments that he was asleep) I decided we would just send birth announcements with our Christmas cards. Besides. That would save lots of postage. Because if you haven’t noticed – stamps cost an arm & a leg! “Here are my appendages mr. postman. may i please have a book of stamps?” Just a book. I’d have to give him Hudson to buy a whole ROLL of stamps!

Anyhow. Now I have a 3 – almost 4 – month old & I have done nada on the Christmas card front.

Then today…I found this great deal from this great company!

I love shutterfly!!
