Last week, Amy asked "Do you use cloth diapers?". The poll is closed and the results are in. Here they are...

Do you use cloth diapers?

A) Yes, only cloth.
B) Yes, both cloth and disposables.
C) No, but I would consider it.
D) No, never!
E) I don't have kids.

According to our readers, 66% answered B) Yes, both cloth and disposables. The rest of our readers answered A) Yes, only cloth.

We also posted this poll on our Facebook page this week, and we got a good amount of votes. Five people chose B) Yes, both cloth and disposables, and unfortunately seven people chose D) No, never! :-(

Amy just wrote a post on Eight Weeks to a Cloth Diapering Stash at $20 Per Week - Week One. Maybe this will encourage some of our readers who voted D) No, never! to reconsider.

Where are you planning to go on vacation this year?

A) Beach
B) Disney World
C) Amusement Park
D) Camping
E) No vacation this year.  :-(

As I figured, the majority of our readers are planning on going to the A) Beach this year. Surprisingly, the second runner up was E) No vacation this year.  :-(

Since so many readers aren't able to go on vacation this year, maybe our blog will be able to entertain you until you are able to go on vacation. If not, maybe it will at least give you an excuse to get some time to yourself for a change. :-)

Also, check out the clubs like BJ's, Costco, and Sam's Club to find some great deals buying in bulk.

Last Week's Poll Results

Last week, Amy asked "Do you buy organic food for your family?". The poll is closed and the results are in. Here they are...

Do you buy organic food for your family?

A) As often as possible
B) If I find it/If it's on sale
C) No, but I want to
D) No, organic food is a joke

The majority of our voters chose B) If I find it/If it's on sale.

I can totally relate to this answer. In fact, I would have chosen this answer, had I voted. The price of food has gone up like crazy in the last few months, and it's getting harder and harder to find good deals on anything, much less organic food. This time last year, my family was eating a lot more organic food than they are this year. I hope that in the next few months, we will be able to afford it again. :-)
