I could never live in Houston, TX...

because I'd HATE driving in that horrible traffic. DH and I made a trip to a cloth diapering store which is about a little over an hour from our house. By the time we got to the store I was a nervous wreck, felt sick and was shaky and almost in tears.

The plus side of this is that I happened to pick a day where they were doing a cloth diaper class! I didn't even know although DH thought I'd planned this. We got there right as they were starting too :-) I was really surprised by what I already knew as she was going over stuff. I guess between you wonderful ladies, the cloth diapering 101 on YouTube and other reading I've done I've actually learned a lot! And if anyone lives in the Houston area the shop really does have a fantastic assortment of cloth everything.

The end of sad driving/happy shopping day :-)

Which shop was it? And if you think traffic was bad on a Saturday, you should check it out during rush hour.

DH works downtown so drives it every day which believe me he did make a point of mentioning... More than once. The shop is Nurtured Family off 290. It gets varied reviews mainly on some staff members not being as knowledgable as the customer would like but I had a great time there today! I did not buy any diapers since we're set to get started but did get washable breast pads, CD safe diaper cream, washable wipes wetting stuff and a nosefrida! Good thing DH was there or I might have bought more... Lol

HAATE Houston too! My ex lived 4 miles from work and it took him over 30 minutes to get to work during rush hour! Which would normally be a 5 minute commute. Wtf Houston.

I'm still a total noob here, But I LOVE it. Unless it's around the Galleria. Then I just want to cry. I made the trip up to that store last weekend and I just fell in love. No one helped (bothered) me and I actually appreciated it! I really do need to do some price comparisons online though.

I grew up in Houston but moved away as soon as I could. Now we live about an hour and a half away out in the country and dread having to drive back to visit family. I'll look into that store next time we are down there.
