Admittedly we don’t use the front door (or the doorknocker) very frequently, but here are some shots that I took yesterday of them:
#Post haste travel update
ORB’ed hardware: This is something a bunch of you guys have wanted an update on, so here it is, complete with pics.
Here’s the original post about getting Ed. Still sturdy and comfortable, so when we collapse into bed at 1am after some DIY extravaganza (gotta get stuff done while the kiddo sleeps) we’re happy to be there. Here’s the original post about getting Karl.Įd The Bed: He’s the other man in our life from Ikea (Swedish product names like Karlstad and Edland made for some pretty easy nicknames) and we’ve been very happy with him. Probably could just add a strip of velcro on the back that lines up to solve it once and for all. So every few weeks I notice and shove it back into the sofa. I think different Karl fabrics have different rules – the Dark Sivik Gray fabric says “machine wash” but other fabric choices might be “dry clean only.” Our one minor complaint would be that the hold-it-in-place velcro to keep the chaise cushion from slipping out and hanging over the chaise like an overbite doesn’t catch correctly (it doesn’t seem to line up) so that cushion migrates out slowly over time. So much that we haven’t had to wash them much, but when we do we use our own washer and dryer at home (ya don’t need an industrial one or anything) and they go back on and look great. The dark slipcovers (we went with Dark Sivik Gray, which is almost like denim and super durable) hide almost everything. Still looks the same and feels just as comfy after over a year of kid/dog abuse. Here’s the original post all about cloth diapering (which has tons of info in the post and the comment section) along with a one-year-in update post on the subject. So that’s the update on the cloth diaper front. We’re thrilled that we haven’t had to buy any more diapers for our stash or add extra liners (they’re all-in-ones, read more on them here) and they really do seem to be one size fits all since they’re still working for us even with Clara being about 300% bigger than she was at birth. Here’s the inside of them (these pics were taken yesterday): Their color and fabric is in great condition and they look pretty close to new, actually. We do have a busted snap here or there (we’ve lost one snap on two of the twelve diapers, but it doesn’t keep them from staying on since there are multiple snaps on each side to hold them). As for their shape, they’re still holding up really well. We do put Clara in a disposable overnight (she finally started wetting through the cloth – something we heard might happen for a while, and finally did), but one a day is only seven a week, so it’s not bad at all. And two years later they’re still working really well for us.
We haven’t bought any more, replaced any, or bought liners.
#Post haste travel full
So here’s a nice juicy post full of a bunch of those updates for everyone.Ĭloth diapers: Believe it or not, we’re still using the very same original 12 cloth diapers that we got back in 2010 before Clara was born. In other words: it’s about darn time we followed up. Which probably explains why we get asked for updates on a handful of things nearly every day. So we’re not always good about keeping you posted on those older things that we’ve already talked about since we’re so busy gabbing about new stuff.
And while we do, we tackle other stuff and blog about that. We blog about something and then we live with it.
