[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734641, member: 21572"] LOL! :) I don't really have a routine, but am strict when it comes to staying on top of things. I do like a clean and organized home. In fact, it's a must with me. Even when my kids were little, everything in their dresser drawers had a place and was immaculately folded. Baby sleepers and pyjamas (first two top drawers), diapers (third drawer), rubber pants (fourth drawer), training pants, socks, and spare crib sheets (5th and 6th drawers). Panties, socks, bras, underpants, all neatly folded and stacked in hubbies and my bed-side night tables. I breastfed my first two (not fulltime), but I breastfed no less. Have to admit, loved the convenience of bottles, even though I now understand the benefits of breastfeeding. I knew few mothers that breastfed when my kids were babies. As for diapers, most everyone I knew used cloth. When my oldest daughter was a baby, I could look out the kitchen window (any given day) which faced the back alley, and there would be a long row of snow white diapers hanging on someone's clothesline. Mind you we lived in the poor part of town at the time, so I'm sure that played a large part as to cloth diaper use in our hood. Dear husband also does (and did) standard home repairs... leaky faucets, toilets, engine tinkering, that sort of thing, which helped save us money, money that we didn't have to hire someone to do it for us.
