1700

A momentous day.  Today I washed my 1700th cloth diaper. 

I'm in shock!  Who knew one could go through 1,700 diapers in less than a year?  And that's with a child who was potty training for half that time!

I can't even FATHOM what 1,700 disposable diapers look like all balled up and waiting for the trash.

1700.

I'm so thankful I tried cloth diapers.  It was because of the encouragement of many of you!  And because of that, there are 1,700 FEWER diapers buried in our earth.  Wow. 

1700.

And how do I know that I washed 1700?  Because I'm nerdy and I made a spreadsheet and I kept track every.single.time I did the wash.  And I may have made a graph as well that calculated our total investment and how much money we saved with each washed diaper and when the two were equal (February 13).

Yes, I really did.  And it was really fun to geek out about it!  :)

1700.

Join me in geeking out today!

  1. Way to go! I don't think I want to know my number :) I recently rediscovered my love of cloth when we got our first foster son and I was able to whip out some old ones to use with him. They are the gift that keeps on giving!
