I'm all over the place in my head, so this blog represents that. I was married when I was 22 years old to my "high school sweetheart", Ben. At 23 we had our first and only child. Now my husband has brain cancer. We are learning how to live life all in a new way.I'm entering college zone at 33, hoping I can someday be financially independent. I'm now a cancer awareness advocate and fundraiser. I will live my life with purpose and appreciate every day I have!
So Happy that we have a new baby coming into the family and I got my first shot at making a diaper cake. My mother in law went in halves and we spend around $60 total. For one I got Pampers Limited Edition with the polka dots and flowers on them in green/pink designs soooo cute! I started out with a 14" cake round from Walmart, cheap! Then I got like 72ish diapers. Rolled them and used small rubber bands around them all! I used a larger rubberband to hold them together and just kept tucking them in the make the "right" size tiers I wanted. I stacked them up, nothing is holding them next time I will use those small woooden dowls a few stuck down in the center of the entire thing so it's easier to transport! We then found super cute ribbon at Walmart again all I did was pinned them together to cover the rubberbands. We then bought whatever we wanted to add to it, cute rings, rattles/teethers, small bath stuff, toys, spoons. We actually bought too much that I couldn't fit on to it....doesn't take much for it to fill up! I stuck it in my front seat and drove 30 minutes away and nothing moved so it was awesome! I love how it turned out! I can see now why people charge so much for them. Baby stuff is sooo expensive. Unless you bought cheaper diapers which I would never do! Maybe finding stuff on clearance to fill them and ribbon will last several cakes! Anyways overall I do love it and I can't wait to make another! :) Good luck on yours!
