If It Really WAS a Genie, There Would Be No Dirty Diapers at All

I was apprehensive at best whilst carrying the child. What would motherhood be like? How tired WOULD I be? How would I manage to balance the housework and the cooking and the errands and the sleeping and the baby-tending? Did I have time to scrape dirty diapers and then wash them? More accurately, was I willing to devote precious time to such a task? The answer was a resounding, "Heck, NO".

There is no diaper service in this town. When someone told us that it would be a great business venture, the hubby laughed/choked.

Enter the Genie. It has been THE BEST, most frequently used piece of baby-related paraphernalia, hands down. We bought the Diaper Genie II after reading reviews. My only complaint about the Diaper Genie II is the fact the refills are pricey. We stock up when we see them for $5 each. But walking into the room where our kid sleeps and NOT smelling you-know-what is worth it to me.

When you are emptying the Genie, be mindful of assaulting yourself with a massive puff of air from the bag. Like a friend of mine said, "My husband says it's like someone letting a massive fart go right in your face".

I cut up the rings off the top of 6-packs so that some bird doesn't get entangled. I am getting a composter for fruit and vegetable peels. I donate unwanted shoes and clothes before I throw them out. Dear environment, please give me this one frivolous massive deposit. I'll get ya next time.
