Generic vs. Brand name

-
Ok, I will be the first to admit....I am a brand snob. Always have been. The other day I was in Target shopping for the usual - diapers & wipes. As I was cruising the diaper aisle, I noticed they didn't have the size I needed in my usual brand. Great! I thought. {didn't want to go to WM because they NEVER have the size I need} Anyway, I noticed the Target brand {Up & Up} diapers staring at me, so I thought, what the heck.  Grabbed the Up & Up brand wipes as well, and was on my way.  {I always use Huggies Natural diapers and Huggies Shay Butter wipes} 

{$20.99 for 124 diapers}
{$13.69 for 792 - ct wipes}



 My thoughts about the diapers - They were GREAT! Soft and really absorbent. The wipes - not really soft and wasn't a fan of them.  From now on, I may buy the diapers, who knows about me, but definitely will stick with good ol' Huggies Wipes. :)

So, what do you use? Generic or Brand name?

I'm with you on the diapers...I've never had much luck with any of the off brands, though I actually haven't tried Target...might have to though! As far as wipes, I definitely don't like any of the off brands...I've tried them all but it's just not worth it. Thanks for the heads up on the Target diapers though!

Funny, I hate the up & up diapers. They actually left M with a sore around his thigh because they were so rough. I don't mind the wipes, way cheaper when you buy them in bulk, even if you do have to use 2 instead of one.

State Fair of Texas

A few weekends ago, we went to the fair. It was super crowded, but the weather was perfect. The girls had a blast riding rides, eating fair food, and looking at all the animals. Harper was so good. She slept the majority of the time, but when she was awake, she just played in her little bassinet. I think she enjoyed the fresh air. ;)

Texas Tech v. Texas Longhorns

My husband is from New Deal, Texas {a very TINY town around the corner from Lubbock - Ha!}. He went to Tech and is a HUGE Tech football fan. Up until this year, my 4 yr old, Rylee has followed in her daddy's footsteps. She loved the Red Raiders and would always have her "guns up!" Not too long ago, she informed her daddy that she QUIT the Red Raiders and is now a Longhorn! A daddy's heart was broken on that summer night. {yes, she goes around with her horns in the air and yes, her daddy cringes!} Can't wait to see what happens tonight when the Red Raiders play the Longhorns. Will she have her "guns up" or her "horns" up? We shall see.... Until next time...... xoxo
