JustLovlie's Profile

I have a partially gutted baby grand in my garage at the moment, destined to become a bookcase similar to this one, a coffee table, and whatever other interesting thing I can come up with for the rest of the parts.

As a pianist myself I agree that it is tragic and heartbreaking, and I felt like a perverse cannibal dismantling it. But in my case it was truly beyond repair. The real tragedy was the lack of care it had in the first place. My repurposing of it is saving it from the landfill.

Our drying time has gotten dramatically shorter since using wool dryer balls, and I love that we're no longer using fabric softener!

8 months into kid #2, with two in dipes and a third on the way, I finally convinced my husband to go cloth (we use SoftBums) and haven't looked back! My only concern in the beginning was the amount of laundry, but I quickly realized that a couple of extra loads a week was still far easier and quicker than the trek to the Big Box Diaper Store had been. We keep a large wetbag in the laundry room for the used diapers...no odors, and I just toss the bag and contents right into the washer.
