Moments in My Life

We started cloth diapering Brandon around June 2007. The first two cloth diapers we got were the Drybees pocket diaper and BumGenius pocket diaper. Within two months my cloth diapers collection went up. I bought half a dozen Kissaluvs fitted cloth diapers and a few more other pocket diapers.

After trying many brands, I still like BumGenius the most. I have 4 of BG pocket diapers. Only complaint I have on BG is the velcro. It doesn’t seem to stick too well after our almost daily use for 12 months. I would think that they will be able to last longer than that. But I am not worry about it now as they will be put away for a while.

Yesterday I’ve decided it’s time to store the cloth diapers away to make room for other daily wears in the drawers. We had used the cloth diapers only the first week after we returned from KL. Since the 2nd week, he has been on underwears/briefs. And now we only use pull-up when we go out, at home all day and all night, he will be in underwears/briefs.

So I put the cloth diapers together and took a picture. Then I carefully insert them into the vacuum storage bag.

I love using vacuum storage bags for putting away all Brandon’s smaller size clothes. They help to save some space. I forgot to take a picture of the vacuumed bag as Brandon was crying in his nap and I had to quickly put the bag into the storage box after vacuuming.

Bye bye cloth diapers … definitely won’t miss the routine of washing you all every night. *grin*

My friend had recently bought a new Mini Cooper for his wife. The car has been brought back to the dealer at least twice within 4 months of the purchase with the same defect. Since he lives out in the Corona area but the dealer is out here in Long Beach, he has to drive very far to drop off the car to get the problem fixed. Luckily for him, the dealer loan him another car to drive for the day, or else he would be stuck here in Long Beach and probably had to take an unpaid day off from work just because of that.

I was wondering if the car might be a lemon. Don’t you just hate it when you thought you bought a new car but then you got a lemon instead? I didn’t know until just now that California has a Lemon Law. According to the Lemon Law facts found on California Lemon Law attorney website, the purchaser of the vehicle can seek refund or replacement of the vehicle if the vehicle:

• Been taken in for service on four (4) or more occasions for a defect that substantially impairs the use or value of the vehicle;
• Been taken in for service on two (2) or more occasions for a defect that is likely to cause serious injury or death; or
• Been in service for thirty (30) or more cumulative calendar days.
