I must apologize in advance but I have a feeling the next few weeks may be full of articles researching the last few things I need to get done before the baby comes, don’t worry Vanessa will be balancing the blog with her more adult topics :) . I hit month 8 yesterday and realized that I have stacks of adorable tiny clothes that I have no idea how to properly wash or prepare for the big day. I know it shouldn’t seem that hard but I want to make sure that I don’t come home from the hospitable with a new baby and a bunch of unwearable clothes because I accidentally used the wrong detergent. So I spent the morning researching the best natural detergents that will be good for the environment, easy on my newborns skin, and I have also listed if they are able to be used in HE washers or if they are cost effective. Please let me know if you have a favorite you would like to share!
