Cute as a Button! Buttons AI2 cloth diapers review.



These adorable cloth diapers are an AI2 system. This is a very affordable cloth diaper system. The covers cost $11 for solid colors and $12.50 for prints. The inserts you can choose either microfiber 3 pack for $10.50 nighttime doublers 2 for $10, or hemp/organic cotton daytime Inserts 3 for $23.25 and nighttime doublers 2 for $19.50. Inserts are in 2 sizes small and large.


The covers are made of 2 layers of PUL, very soft, they have double gusset and tummy elastic great for tummy sleepers. The trim on these diapers is very soft and won't dig in to babies skin.
Inside of the cover 

Tummy Elastic

Double gusset 

These diaper covers are one size they fit from from birth to potty training,  9-35 pounds, they're very generously cut great for chubby babies, but when you snap then down to newborn they're very small and can definitely fit a newborn.  Diapers are very well made and will last though more then one baby.
Newborn setting

Toddler Setting




These covers have the cutest little buttons embroidery on the back which is too cute!

They have 2 sizes for inserts small and a large. Inserts are either microfiber topped with  stay dry fleece, or hemp/organic cotton typed with stay dry fleece. There's also night boosters which are also either microfiber or  hemp/organic cotton.



I tested the hemp organic cotton inserts and the hemp organic cotton night booster. The daytime hemp inserts are made of 4 layers of hemp /organic cotton plus the stay dry fleece. Night booster is 5 layers of hemp/organic cotton. The night booster snaps right under the daytime insert which gives you 9 layers of absorbent material at night, and snaps in to the cover. The diaper is still very trim even with both inserts, of your baby doesn't like bulky diapers this would be a great solution for you.
With both a daytime insert and the night doubler 



You can also reuse the diaper cover up to 3 times by just taking the insert put wiping the cover and snapping a new insert in. You can also use any other insert even a small prefold If you like, Just make sure you never put microfiber against babies skin! If there's poop I the cover then it needs to be washed already.

Here you can watch the whole review on YouTube

You can buy these diapers from Buttons Diapers

Or on Amazon Buttons covers
Nighttime doublers

Thank you Buttons Diapers for sending me this diaper to review!

borsch (my version)

Ingredients:
1 Lb Beef cut in to about 1in pieces
1 medium-large Beet root shredded
2-3 carrots shredded
4-5 medium potatoes peeled and cut in to 1-2in cubes
1 small cabbage sliced thin
1 medium onion diced finely
4oz tomato paste (optional I never use it)
Salt and pepper to taste
dill and parsley also optional they do bring a lot of taste to the borshch

cut, dice and shred everything to the size you would like in the borshch I to everything very fine my family prefers it like that.

Boil 5qt water with salt add the cut beef to it and cook the beef till it's ready.
Meanwhile heat up  sauté pan with some oil, mix the shredded beets, carrots and onion and put everything in the sauté pan on med to high heat sauté everything till they're fully cooked and now you can add the tomato paste sauté a little more and turn the heat off.



cut the cabbage 

when the beef is fully cooked add the potatoes to it and cook till potatoes are ready (which won't be long)

When Potatoes are ready add the cabbage and cook another 10-15mins till the cabbage is soft

when the cabbage is ready now add the beat and carrot mixture cook for about 5mins add the parsley, dill and pepper cover and let stand a while before serving. (I usually let stand at least 20-30mins that gives enough time for everything to absorb)

Serve warm/hot with a teaspoon or more of sour cream and a teaspoon or more of mayonnaise mix very well and serve
