Alaska mamas!

[ShannaMarie]

Where are ya? :lostit: :mrgreen:

[CourtneyinAlaska]

:wave: Shanna!

...I miss Alaska. :cry:

[ShannaMarie]

Courtney! You already had that baby!?!? :lostit: :envy: Congratulations!

I'm soooo done with being pregnant. Sigh. 40 + 4 today. :yuck:

[CourtneyinAlaska]

I did, and only 2 days "late."

I have to say I loved having a homebirth! Hubby is working for a hospital down here but was completely supportive.

Hope you get to meet your little one soon!

[akalterego]

I love how they group AK and Hawaii together, cracks me up.
Congratulations Courtney, you look very happy in your hb picture.
Shanna - any baby yet?
What qualifies as testoterone city in your book? I can imagine half of AK, LOL.

I always giggle at the AK/HI grouping, too. How much further apart and vastly different could you get? :giggle:

No baby. 41 weeks tomorrow. Siiiiiigh.

Testosterone City is just a nod to my house full 'o boys. :mrgreen: We actually live in Anchorage.

Courtney - you GLOW! Want to share your HB story?

[beckymomof2]

Hi. I'm in Alaska too. I thought it was funny that they stuck Alaska and Hawaii together but that's fine. Just wanted to say hi.

[Eclipse]

Hello fellow Alaskans,

I just recently had my second daughter in Nov. and decided to take up cloth diapering. I found this ds website and it has been very helpful in breaking me into the process. We are located in Anchorage and I am glad to see a few other Alaskan Mamas out there. Hope you are all staying warm.

Cheers,
Tracy

[mommyof5usafbabies]

Hi:) Just wanted to see if the Alaska page was hopping! Not to many of us, huh? Well HELLO OUT THERE:p I'm Heather and I just had my 5th little monkey!! I'm in the Fairbanks area.

[L&K'smommie]

Hey Alaskan mommies...don't you wish we were in HI now:giggle: I'm in the Valley:goodvibes: Nice to meet you all...

ETA...Shanna...that is a crazy birth story...so glad you had a healthy delivery.

[GandH'sMom]

Hi all of you, I'm going to go read your birth story Shanna....I'm curious! I'm in Wasilla and I was born and raised here.

[drabo]

HI mama's. I'm in AK also, Elmendorf AFB. I can't wait to get away from this cold and have been dreaming of a place like Hawaii. I just started cloth diapering my ds.

[mamatoblessings]

Hey Alaska mamas!! I'm in Wasilla. I just started CDing with my youngest a few months ago and now found out we are expecting #4!! I'm so excited to go CD from the start with the new blessing. :mrgreen:

[con&kids]

Hi everyone! Another Alaskan here in Kenai. Can't believe it's taken me this long to find this thread. I seriously need to stay out of the fsot area :giggle:

[EricaLynn]

Any last frontier mamas still checkin this thread:giggle: Am I the only Juneau-ite so far?

[mamak]

Add me to the count. Breanna here in Chugiak. Shanna, how is your little girl???

[ShannaMarie]

Add me to the count. Breanna here in Chugiak. Shanna, how is your little girl???

She's so good, thanks for asking! Chunking out and totally adorable, sleeping great, nursing great! She's been my most mellow, easy-going babe. :mrgreen:

Here she is last Thursday, 6 weeks old!
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n120/alaskawife/IMG_2991.jpg

Nice to "meet" you here, Breanna!

Is everyone enjoying these warmer temps and sunny, gorgeous days. In Anchorage, anyway, it really feels like Spring! :lostit:

[mamak]

Oh she is just soooooo cute. I am so happy for you and what a great story of the birth.

[ELC Knits]

Nice to see other moms here in AK, this crazy weather we are having - I would trade for HI in a heartbeat!

[mamak]

I know we got up this morning and had to plow again. My goats were starting to shed their winter fur. Now I bet they wish that they still had it all.

[ELC Knits]

Oh to be in Hawaii today! Roads all thawed and dry yesterday and snow today, go figure! We must be in Alaska.

Heya again

[princessblueberry]

Hello, and new to motherhood and CD. DS is 3 month now and I'm finally having to buy diapers. Wish I'd put CD or $$ for CD on my wish list but it took this long to convince DH to let me try CDs...

[EricaLynn]

:wave: Hello mama! Welcome to the dark side:giggle2:

What part of AK are you from?

[princessblueberry]

Right now Chugiak. . .was born at Humanna and have lived everywhere from Hatcher's Pass to Rabbit Creek.

LOL! Was laughing hysterically just an hour ago. There is a huge community Garage Sale today and tomorrow in Eagle River and we could not decide who was crazier as it was snowing like madd. . .
1. the 30 some odd people who went ahead and sold their wheres
2. the 1-2 hundred people that were driving from block to block shopping
3. the 3 teens that went ahead with their hot dog stand
4. or me who spent $10 on a turtle sandbox and 30 min tieing it to the roof of my ford tortus I mean Taurus in nothing but a sweat suite...

LOL! I Love my son!

HI mamas! Another Alaskan new to DS. We are in Wasilla. I started CDing my DD about 2 months ago. She is already growing out of the mediums!!! So time to scrape up some more $ for fluffy mail..... Does anyone know if there is a 'real' store to buy CDs in the valley/anchorage area? I would love to actually see and feel it before I buy! Or maybe an Alaska mama CD swapmeet......

[EricaLynn]

Is your lo crawling yet? If not I would stick to mediums for a bit :thumbsup:

Bailey was starting to grow out of her mediums too, but then she got mobile and still fits them:) (and she is 16 months!)

[Rik-e]

She isn't crawling yet. But she has lost 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks from being ill :cry: and still doesn't fit the mediums well. We are going mostly with fitteds, which seem to have a bigger size range, and AI2 style. I saw some pics of an AIO with the soaker just tacked in at one end that I love! I had to make one to try it. :blush: But I haven't been able to find any affordably priced. (I have so overspent my budget already!)

Have not fount a 'real store' in town but this lady does appointments...http://birchtreebaby.com/
She will also be at the baby fair tomorrow 10am-4pm at the Eagan Center.

[Rik-e]

Ooohhh....baby fair! LOL BUt I can't go into Anchorage tomorow, we are already going in on sunday. Is it sunday too?

[princessblueberry]

Nope...just today.

[princessblueberry]

Anyone shop at Junior Towne on fireweed in Anchorage?

I have 3 coupons to get a $10 gift card with a $50 purchase, good through June 1st. Just say the word and I can send one your way...

**Edited for spelling...**

[Rik-e]

So I have an idea:goodvibes: ..... Would any of you ladies be interested in setting a date/time/place for a real life diaper-swap ?

I'm thinking it would be awesome to chat with some mamas who don't think I'm insane! :lostit: And check out some other styles of diapers, ect.
Everyone could bring whatever they aren't using, have out grown, don't care for, ect. We could also do some other baby/kid, or natural living, related stuff.

I live in Wasilla. I know I've seen some mamas on here in the Anchorage and Mat-su areas. But a swapmeet could be open to anyone who wanted to come!:thumbsup:

If you are interested post here or PM me! :hugs:

[drabo]

I would be interested. I'm on Elmendorf.

[EricaLynn]

That would be way fun.... too bad we are flat broke right now so there is no way I could come:cry:

[princessblueberry]

You know I would :thumbsup:

I know some other gals that are not on here that have been musing about such a gathering...LOL, I vote for meating in the middle :giggle2: But honestly being in the middle I'd drive either way :giggle:

[Rik-e]

Where are you? If you could come you could trade or barter, instead of buy. I know I'd just love to meet some other CD mamas!

She will also be at the baby fair tomorrow 10am-4pm at the Eagan Center.

I have bought from Claire at Birch Tree Baby before. She's really sweet and will take time to tell you about all the diapers. And you can make an appt for whenever is convenient.

I'm in the Valley also and I'd be up for a swapmeet/ CD mama meetup. I'd love to see what other mamas have and use.:thumbsup:

[ashnicole227]

Hello AK mamas!!!! Im at ft wainwright...warming up finally!! Its nice to have some sun!!! Im new to CD...havent evn gotten my fisrt shipment yet and already need to be on the wagon!!! i hae almost 20 dipes on the way...ill prob have a lot to resell but i hope theyll work for us!! Im excited!!!

[Rik-e]

So anyone have suggestions for dates and/or locations (free) for the swapmeet?

We are in Wasilla so I suggest Wonderland park -- either the pavilion by the playground or the grassy area with benches near the fire department.
Any monday, wednesday, friday, most saturdays or suday afternoons would work for us.

If there are several suggestions maybe someone can make a new thread with polls to see which would work out beast.

[KPH_427]

I JUST JOINED THE GROUP TODAY.. I AM FROM ALASKA.. I LIVE IN NORTH POLE AND MY HUSBAND WORKS ON FT WAINWRIGHT....

[ashnicole227]

Oo0 yay!! I live on ft wainwright!! Are you new to cloth diapering?

[tallanvor]

Hi, ladies. I'm in Wasilla, too (Hi Rachel!!) and have just never managed to get this far down the main DS site. So, am now going to go back and read through the other posts and see if I have anything to add.

[unfrozencavegrl]

Hi! I am in Palmer and completely new here.

[Rik-e]

So mamas in Anchorage/ Wasilla/ Palmer/ Big Lake/ Willow areas:
What is a good date for a 'real life' swapmeet?

Hi back !

[tallanvor]

Whenever. I don't have much, though will try and come just to say hi to whoever is there.

[jnicole]

Hi Alaskans! I'm new to the site but not AK. I'm in Anchorage and looking forward to when this rain stops. Isn't it supposed to be summer? I'd go to a swap meet if you guys decide to have one. Thanks.

[princessblueberry]

I started a poll so we have an at a glance answer to what days would work and where...http://www.diaperswappers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=464848

[kinleesmomma]

I live in Anchorage, and am opening a children's store in the University Center, set to have its Grand Opening the second weekend in July. It is called Sugar and Spice, A Children's Ecotique. We are specilaizing in eco-friendly, organic products for babies and children.
I am going to carry a few lines of cloth diapers, as well as have a consignment section for used cloth diapers. I will be taking inventory starting the first week in July if anyone wants to make some extra money.
I am going to be pretty picky about what I take--- I want them to be in GREAT condition. Obviously if they are used, they won't be in perfect condition but they still need to look good. I will have a scale on which I price them, based on their condition.
If anyone wants to put theirs on consignment let me know--- I have 4 ladies who are already interested- so the more, the better selection!
My site www dot sugarandspice dot com (they won't let me put a URL in until I have more posts--- I JUST JOINED!)
Sara :o)

[mamatoblessings]

It's so fun to see so many Mat-Su mamas!! Rachel...did I meet you the other day at Tummies & Tots??? :D I was in there and asked Jennifer (I think that's the owners name) about cloth diapers and there was another mama there (who I think might have been you) and we struck up a short convo about DS!! I really hope the swap meet turns out...I would LOVE to meet more CDing mamas!

[tallanvor]

Elizabeth, I think you and your children came to my yard sale about a month ago. I think your daughter bought a Fancy Nancy book from us.

And ladies, I am now working at JoAnn Fabrics here in Wasilla, so if you're ever there on a weeknight or weekend, say hi to Crystal (so far I'm the only Crystal there).

[tallanvor]

Sara --- I couldn't get your page to load.

[Dmpmercury]

Hi I'm in Anchorage as I see a few others are.

Hi Courtney don't know if you come here anymore but I went to the AP playgroup and met you. How is Lucy and Avery doing?

Did the swap meet happen yet? Not that I need to swap anything I just sold most of the diapers I needed to on here but it be cool to get together with other local cd moms and look at diapers.

[mamatoblessings]

:goodvibes: Wow Crystal...good memory!! I remember meeting you...how fun to reconnect on here...crazy!! I LOVE Joann, I would have a hard time not spending all of my earnings there if I worked there though...I'm sure I'd find all kinds of fleece that I "needed" to buy to make more fleece covers! I will be in there on the 3rd for the 4th of July sale to buy a rotary cutter and mat since they are all 50% off:lostit: Maybe I will see you there!

[L&K'smommie]

Where is Tummies and Tots? I'll have to go there:-) If the swap takes place I'll try to be there...summers are so busy for us.

Yep it was me! Hi again :cowwave:

FYI Crystal has an awesome cover and bib set that I wish would fit my DD! Well, if you still have it once we can schedule the swap meet.

I'm off to check the poll and see where/when to swap!

[Rik-e]

Do you know where Shoprite is in Wasilla? It's in a strip mall on the Parks Hwy, along with Mat-Su Family restaurant (which I hate) and an educational supply store. Anyways, Tummies & Tots is in the Frontier Plaza which is just on the 'downtown' side of Shoprite mall. HTH

Just to add:
If you know where the Mocha Moose store is...it's right next to that...in the same strip mall as the new Chinese/Sushi Buffet (I think the name of the buffet is Shine's) I love Tummies & Tots...her prices are great and her consignment deal is too! You can also take in as much stuff at one time as you want...she doesn't really have a limit like The Mouse House or Growing Spurts....just my little plug for T & T!!:giggle2:

[tallanvor]

I've only been in T&T once, but did find several nice things for my youngest. And at reasonable prices, too. Some of the consignment shops charge too much for some things.


And yes, I do have a lovely WAHM girly cover and bib set. And a few Little Beetle hemps. If we ever have this swap I'll bring them. I might have a few other things, too. I am reconsidering my current stash.

[L&K'smommie]

Thanks for directions! When I get back in town next week I'll have to go there. And take some of my kids consignment stuff.

[Rik-e]

So anyone want to pick a date for an August swap meet / get together?
I propose that we pick a wednesday, either 10am or 3pm.
Either at Nunley Park in Wasilla, or ? if some one has a better idea.

[pridykidz]

I am pretty new to CDing, and I've checked this AK/HI thread a few times. No one seems to post on it.
Here is a question since I am new: What CD's do you prefer? I am still trying to figure out what works for us.
Thanks

[pridykidz]

Nevermind about the "no one ever posts here" thing, I'm a little slow sometimes!

[drabo]

I have always used pockets and AIO's. I just tried fitteds, and really like them I only use fleece over them so far. Where do you live?

[drabo]

Sorry, just saw you live in Anchorage. I am going to be at the grand opening of Sugar and Spice tomorrow morning. You can stop by if you want to talk. She has a few used diapers on consignment. More would be great. She is also having a sale.
http://www.sugarandspiceak.com/MainPage.html

[L&K'smommie]

I would be up for one sometime in August...wednesday's work great for us. Mornings would be better since 3pm is during naptime for us.

And for dipes I mostly use fitteds with wool or fleece, occasionally a PUL cover and AIO's, sometimes I use prefolds.

[EricaLynn]

Preeeeeee fooooolds:D they rock my socks. Usually with fleece but if she is going to wear cotton pants we use pul covers:) We rarely used pockets or fitteds and never aios because she pees waaaaaay too much!

[Rik-e]

Mostly pockets and AI2 for us, or fitteds with wool shorties. Prefolds as a back-up for diaper rash, ect.

[mamatoblessings]

We are a strictly prefold family here! I have some wonderwraps covers that I use if we're away from the house, but I'm starting to knit some longies for the new baby and I just finished a wool sack for the baby, so I'm transitioning from PUL covers to wool. I would love to give another swap a try! Pretty much any day through the week is good for me and any time of the day is fine.

[pridykidz]

I just got home at 4:30 today, so I will probably go by the new store sometime next week.
We HAD to get out since the sun finally came out for a little while.

I would love to meet other CD Mama's. Nobody I know does it. My family and friends think I'm crazy.

For my input about the swap, 10am would be better for me. I'd rather drive out to the valley in the morning.

That's it for now.

[Rik-e]

Proposed SwapMeet
Wednesday Aug 13th 10am
Wasilla, Nunley Park (smaller playground downtown)

If you would like a different wednesday morning, or have an alternate location to suggest, please post it. Otherwise I say let's get this organized and spread the word!

[L&K'smommie]

Sounds good to me...I should be able to make this one.

[mamatoblessings]

I should be able to be there, I hope we get a lot of mamas to this one!

[tallanvor]

Well, I won't be there as we will be in Michigan, but if anyone's interested in knowing what I have, feel free to message me.

[lilthunderfox]

We aren't in Alaska YET but I wanted to make some friends before I head up there next spring and there is no better place to start than on here! We will be moving to the Anchorage area. DH is campaigning for Wasilla I am going for Eagle River because my only friend who lives in AK lives in eagle River. : ) Anywho I would love to get to know some of y'all who live there so I can prepare myself for the huge climate change and social adjustment so pleae pm me if you have time and don't mind chatting with a Texan anxiously waiting to join the rest of you in Heaven on Earth!!:thumbsup:

[pridykidz]

Sounds Good. Can someone give directions? I don't spend much time out there.
Also, I've never been to one of these. What should I bring, what are we going to be doing?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
From Anchorage:
Head straight into Wasilla on the Parks Hwy. Turn right on Main Street and make a left at the 4 way stop. Park will be on the left. There is parking on either end of the park.

Don't ask me what to bring though...I wasn't at the last one so I'm curious to know also:giggle2:

Good directions! :thumbsup:

Just bring whatever CD items you don't use to trade or sell. Or carriers, mama things, homeschool, ect. The point is mainly to meet up with other CD mamas to visit, and trade/sell/buy baby things we don't use or didn't work for us. Or if you know anyone considering starting cloth please encourage them to come! Then they can see first hand how easy it is and all the options.

HTH

[Rik-e]

So who is planniing to attend the swapmeet???

[L&K'smommie]

I should be there.

[pridykidz]

We will be there.

[mamatoblessings]

I should be there for a little while...I have a dr appt at 11:20. See ya in the morning...I hope this nice weather holds out!

[pridykidz]

I'm just leaving now from Anchorage, going to be a little late.

[Rik-e]

This ones just for show and tell. LOL
I made these fitteds for someone on Cafemom with a baby in NICU. They were supposed to be NB size for an 8 lb girly......but I think they turned out as preemies!

I am in Fairbanks AK. I had my son at BACH on 6th of July08. My daughter was born in Hawaii in Oct 05 so I don't understand the strange AK/HI grouping mentioned. I like AK better in all ways except the cold winters here in AK. I wouldn't mind giving that up.

When we found out we were moving here (we're military) I was really concerned about the winters because I tend to be cold all the time. But they are not as bad as I thought they would be. I would actually rather do a winter here than a winter in Michigan.

I am bummed though. We were hoping to make it up to Fairbanks this summer, but with the price of diesel it just wasn't an option.

[Rik-e]

So I'm making a bunch of dipes for my DD, and assorted friends & causes, but I really, really would love to make some of them with snaps!
Does anyone have a snap press? Or know someone that has one fairly locally? I'd prefer to rent or buy rather than hire someone for 'snap service'.
Please let me know!

On a seperate note -- I'm having a Party Lite candle party next friday, if anyone is interested.

[Rik-e]

So, here's a new meet-up idea. Please take a look and respond. Thanks mamas.
