The Hippies or: How Stephan learned to stop worrying and love the cloth diaper

We use cloth diapers. As if you didn't already think we're weird, right? If you don't like reading about the bowel movements of small children, I would suggest not reading any further. Still reading? All right, but don't say I didn't warn you! I started cloth diapering when Kate was about eight months old and we had our own washer and dryer. There's a funny story behind how we started cloth diapering. Stephan was completely against cloth diapering, but I wanted to try it. I finally bought a couple to try out, but I didn't tell Stephan. In fact, the night before the cloth diapers were to arrive, Stephan was recounting a conversation he and his co-workers had about cloth diapers that day. "What was the consensus?" I asked, keeping a good poker face. "That they're disgusting and never want to use them," he replied. I just smiled.

Thank you everyone for reading and sharing my last post! It means so much to me and our efforts are paying off! I was interviewed to be on Good4Utah and hopefully my segment will air tonight either at six or ten p.m. Check me out then! Well, mostly check out the Kate footage because she's so darn cute. She actually cooperated for the most part during the interview, thank goodness.

I love salmon. Growing up, my mom would bake the salmon and serve it with yellow rice and peas, and usually with lemon wedges or some lemon juice to drizzle over it. Yum! It's still one of my favorites My mom and I are the only real salmon lovers in the family, so now she only ever makes it when I come to visit because the male members of my family don't especially love it. Stephan...well, he used to say that salmon was either the fish he liked the most or hated the least, though I introduced him to tilapia a few months ago and now that's his favorite fish. Other than that, he doesn't particularly like fish. Did I mention he served his mission where you could get fresh-caught salmon? Yeah, he didn't care for that either. When we were first married, he gagged whenever I ordered sushi at our favorite Japanese restaurant. He tolerates California rolls, but that's pretty much it. It doesn't bother me; he loves Japanese food otherwise, so we can still be marrie...
