Syria's crisis-hit economy under further pressure
- Tweet
- Share this
BEIRUT/AMMAN (Reuters) - Businessmen in Syria talk of canceled contracts, disrupted trade and employees being laid off as commercial operations suffer from the violence and uncertainty that have gripped their country for the past eight months.
Mothers complain of a lack of baby milk and shortages are forcing shops in the main Damascus market to put up their shutters early.
Starved of revenues and choked by anti-government unrest in its towns and cities that has already cost 3,500 lives, Syria's crisis-hit economy could be squeezed further by pressures from outside as Washington leans on regional banks to cut ties with Damascus and Arab nations threaten economic sanctions.
Economists are already forecasting that the protests against President Bashar al-Assad, coupled with U.S. and European Union sanctions imposed in response to his crackdown on dissent, mean the economy will contract sharply this year.
Oil exports worth $400 million a month are at a standstill and Syria's tourism industry, which accounted for over 10 percent of GDP last year, has collapsed as the economy "slowly bleeds to death" according to one economist.
The Central Bank has not reported monthly data since it published figures for May several months ago, suggesting either the statistics are too grim to be aired in public or that the unrest has even disrupted basic information collection.
"Even demand for basic foodstuffs has gone down because people are only getting their essential needs," said Husam al-Izz, a merchant in the Salhia district of Damascus. "There is paralysis in sales of luxury items, and real estate too."
Lara, a web site designer in the Syrian capital, said her working hours had already been cut by nearly a half and she expected to be out of work within weeks.
"I will lose my job by the end of the year. The engineering company that I work with told me ... that because of the economic difficulties and political situation, they have to do this," she said.
Others complained of shortages. "Of course there is a lack of some foods such as baby milk, some types of cheese and meat," said Rana, a 33-year-old Damascus mother of three children.
Rana said traders blamed the shortages on the unrest, but she and several other residents also said some suppliers were hoarding or pushing up prices to exploit the situation.
Shops in the capital's Hamidiya market which used to stay open until late evening have cut their hours, Damascenes say, many of them shutting by 6 pm.
Washington has made clear it does not want to see banks in neighboring countries doing business with Syria.
A U.S. Treasury official told Lebanon last week it should "ensure a transparent and well-regulated financial sector... (and) protect the Lebanese financial sector from potential Syrian attempts to evade U.S. and EU financial sanctions," an embassy statement said.
It gave no details but a diplomat in Damascus said that Treasury Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing Daniel Glaser, who later travelled to Jordan, delivered "a clear message to banks about their prospects of future business with the U.S. if they don't implement the sanctions."
However another diplomat in Beirut said the United States appeared satisfied with Lebanon's compliance, adding that no Lebanese bank was under specific scrutiny from Washington.
In Jordan, a senior banker whose compliance officer attended a meeting Glaser had with senior banking executives, said the message delivered to Amman's banking community was "don't do business with Syria."
The United States and European Union have imposed targeted sanctions on dozens of senior Syrian officials, as well as state businesses including the country's biggest lender, Commercial Bank of Syria.
Depositors continued to withdraw hundreds of millions of dollars from private Syrian bank accounts between July and September, figures released earlier this month showed.
But officials and bankers in Lebanon, which has close ties with its neighbor and voted against the Arab League's suspension of Syria, say there is little sign of that money being moved to Lebanese accounts.
The U.S. efforts to tighten the financial noose around Damascus came as the Arab League announced on Wednesday it had asked experts to draft economic sanctions on Syria.
It gave no details of the planned measures, and economists say it is unlikely the 22-member organization would seek to impose a total trade embargo on Syria, which would be hard to implement and would hurt neighboring countries which depend on Syria as a transit route for their exports and imports.
But oil exporting Gulf countries, which have taken the toughest stance in the Arab world against Assad, could choose to impose selective sanctions along the same lines as those announced by Western powers.
In Aleppo, the chamber of industry chairman Faris al-Shihabi said major exporters were seeking to find new markets to offset potential losses of customers in the Gulf and Turkey.
"It will be a headache and incur extra costs but we will cope and adjust and find alternative markets," Al-Shihabi said, adding that raw materials were coming from India, Malaysia, Indonesia and eastern Europe.
Economy and Trade Minister Mohammad Nidal al-Shaar also said this week Syria would strengthen ties with Asian and African countries to offset the Western sanctions. But the search for find new customers for Syrian crude has yielded few results.
Oil industry sources say oil majors Royal Dutch Shell and Total have slashed production in Syria because storage tanks are full and the Damascus-based diplomat said only one shipment of oil had left Syria since the European Union announced oil sanctions two months ago.
Economists have repeatedly adjusted their forecasts for Syria downwards as the unrest takes its relentless toll.
The pound has fallen nearly 10 percent on the black market and even the official rate has been allowed to slip to around 49 pounds to the dollar from 47.
Last month the International Institute of Finance predicted the economy will shrink by 6 percent this year and by a further 3 percent next year.
For Assad, who also has to finance a costly military operation to crush the unrest, the loss of state revenues means the state will have to eat into foreign reserves estimated at $18 billion before the unrest erupted in March.
Central Bank governor Adeeb Mayaleh says Syria spent $1.2 billion of those reserves financing investment projects after international financing was withdrawn. Authorities had also spent $3.7 billion financing imports, using money from a fund set up for that purpose, he told Al-Watan newspaper last month.
However the absence of detailed figures has led to speculation that the real cost of the domestic turmoil may have been significantly higher.
Businesses have been hit on several fronts.
"Most companies have canceled or reduced their contracts. I had to lay off more than half of the staff," said Yasser, who runs an Internet shopping site and owns a separate design and advertising company.
The Damascus-based businessman said he also faced difficulties getting supplies, and complained that customers could no longer buy goods online because U.S. banks had frozen their credit cards.
Officials may increasingly point to foreign sanctions for causing the crisis, but Yasser said authorities bore a greater burden of responsibility: "I blame the government," he said.
Increasing economic discontent could spell potential trouble for Assad, who has relied on support from minorities including his own Alawite sect and Christians, as well as wealthy Sunni merchants in Damascus and Aleppo.
"Most people are saying business is appalling," the diplomat in Damascus said. "But they say what's the alternative? So far there is no alternative that satisfies them."

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. All very interesting. Dennis married Ethel on Aug 14 1943 I have copy of their marriage certificate. They had two children together Valerie born Sep 1944 and Charles born Jan 1946. Dennis walked out when Charles was a few days old and was ever seen again. Ethel died in 2011 and would never talk about him. We know they got divorced at some point but not exactly when. It's unfortunately one of those family situations that wasn't allowed to be discussed. I think it's very likely his full name was Dennis Charles Frederick Simms. Although the name Frederick is not on copy of marriage certificate I have. |

You refer to Dennis Charles' marriage to Eva being short lived. There is are two later marriages of a Dennis FC Simms in 1955 in Sussex and in 1980 in Croyden that could possibly be him if the middle intials were reversed. |

Am trying to find out about my husbands Grandfather. He was called Dennis Charles Simms. He was born in 1922 and was in the RAF when he married Ethel Eva Russell in 1943. The marriage didn't last long. His father was called Frederick Charles Simms. I believe he came from the London area. |

Crew Cut: Hierarchy Ranks and Recruitment Frenzy
With last week's release of the all-new Social Club Crew Hierarchies feature, we've seen Crew Leaders jumping to exert their authority and assign rank amongst their mobbed up minions. Crews of all sizes and statures, from perennial top dog Founder LXG Crew down to eager upstarts like the GTA Annihilators, have been busy promoting and demoting Crew members to the positions of Commissioner, Lieutenant, Representative and Muscle. Here's a quick look at how some squads have been parlaying the feature to tighten up their ranks for this fall's planned extended holiday in Los Santos & Blaine County...
Four Leaders with an early embracing of the new Crew Hierarchy system (Clockwise from top): DutchStoner of the Ganja Outlaws, ITALIAN of Slaughterhouse, PhatGordo13 of GTAForums and ErnestoRock2 of One Bullet At A Time.
Crew Leaders, Commissioners and Lieutenants, do give a shout in comments below to share your Hierarchy strategy thus far...
The Lost NZ (LOST) Crew are another group of auteurs who are using the power of the moving image to spread the word of their squad, which you can peep here.
And while trying to find likeminded Social Club members to Crew up with here in Newswire comments is cool, some Crew leaders have learned that it helps to spread the good word on other social networks as well for results. Seems like every few minutes, there's someone on Twitter shouting out or looking for a Crew to align with. If you're lucky, we just might help you out by sharing your recruitment tweet with Rockstar followers worldwide. Such was the case for AgentP50, leader of the 182 Brotherhood (182B) Crew who we spotted and retweeted this week – taking his ranks from a relative handful of members to 132 as of press time, in less than a day. Also a shout to Inbetwixt, leader of the 657 BOYZ, whose membership has doubled in a similar case. While this will be something we'll only be doing once in a while, it's certainly advantageous to expand your recruitment message via tweets, Facebook and even Instagram posts to staff up that sick clique for GTA Online.
As we mentioned last time, EnigmaAssassin of the Ice Cold Assassins Crew (ICED) and HOT_KIMERA of the HOT CLAN Crew (HOTZ) hosted an epic 2 vs 2 Max Payne 3 free aim tournament, in which Crews had some of their top players battle it out for multiplayer bragging rights. For several weekends earlier this summer, what started as 28 Crews faced off in best-of-three 10-minute rounds of Team Deathmatch. Tietê River Docks was played in Game 1, Nova Esperança in Game 2 and, if a Game 3 was necessary, that was to be played at the São Paulo Bus Depot.
A highlight of Round 1 was the matchup between The Hardcore A Team (TEAM) Crew) and The Gallant Psychos (TGPS) Crew. In a Crew Cut one year ago, we regarded TGPS as being on the fast track to success - one month from their inception they were already in the Top 30. However impressive, those accolades meant nothing in this latest competition and TEAM dominated TGPS, winning both games, 42-18 and 38-23. With COMNADO DE ELITE (BOPE) Crew's israel-lucas leading the first round in kills, one could say their squad were the favorites against the Rock Heart (SEXY) Crew in Round 2. Instead, SEXY blanked 'em, 43-25 and 41-33.
The final eight (clockwise from top left): TOP GUN PL4Y3RS, FOXHOUND UNIT, GOLD LIONS, Rock Heart, CAP PILLAS, Master of Weapons, ineffable arts and Sub-Zero Killaz.
Round 3 saw the FOXHOUND UNIT (UNIT) and Master of Weapons (SAMA) Crews take each other on in arguably the most intense match of the entire tournament. SAMA flourished first, winning the first game 25-21. Game 2 was tight to the very last second, UNIT taking the lead to win 25-24. After that, UNIT - never looking back - bounced SAMA right out of contention in Game 3, 41-29. The GOLD LIONS (LION) Crew had been solid throughout the tournament and the semi-finals were no different. Up against SAMA, LION won Game 1 by 25-20 and Game 2 by 38-28. While the ineffable arts (RED7) Crew won their matchup against SEXY 2-0, it was a close one: Game 1 was decided in the final moments 27-26 and Game 2's tally was 39-32.
After a month of battle after battle after battle, RED7 and LION were to face each other in the finals for living legend status. From the start, both Crews made it very clear they earned the right to be on the big stage. The squads spent Game 1 trading kills, never letting more than a few points between them. RED7 took it 34-31 - just one win away from victory. With a seven point lead and around four minutes to go in Game 2, it looked like things were coming to an end. And then, in what could be considered the pivotal point of the finals, LION's Alex_silent stepped up, helping to reverse the lead and secure a 38-27 win. In a Game 3 do or die, LION turned things up a notch and stomped on RED7 55-30. 28 Crews entered, one Crew left - props to the GOLD LIONS for being the last squad standing - we definitely recommend checking out the highlights here.

Cam and/or Seb,
My girlfriend Dani and I both love your show; we look forward to it weekly. It's her 24th birthday today and It'd awesome if you guys could announce that I love her more than anything and everything in all of Tamriel.
Hello - my daughter & I love these videos. Can you give a shout out to Zoe on your next video? Thanks so much!
Kellogg… that guy was nuts. He was no better than a common snake oil merchant. When I read his stuff, I imagine it's West Dickens' voice speaking.

Switzerland is the EU's largest trading partner after the United States, coming in ahead of China and Japan, but the intertwining of multiple sectoral agreements makes the relationship difficult to manage.
The Helvetic Confederation is pushing for a third round of bilateral treaties to govern its relations with the EU, dubbed 'Bilateral III'. But the European Union wants a more comprehensive agreement and automatic acceptance by Berne of changes to EU legislation, which the Swiss say would go against the principle of sovereignty.
"Our country is at the heart of the European Union, but institutionally we are a third country, which considering our intense political and economic ties, makes the management of our relationship a constant challenge," Calmy-Rey conceded after the meeting, adding that any changes to that relationship would need to respect Swiss sovereignty.
Barroso described the meeting as "constructive and fruitful" and said both parties agreed on the need for a general overarching framework governing the bilateral relationship.
"The system of bilateral agreements is complex and heavy to manage," he said, echoing Calmy-Rey. "We are convinced that it is time to give a new impulse to our partnership," he added, explaining that companies and citizens deserve a level playing field and clearer rules.
Swiss citizens voted against joining the European Economic Area in 1992 and EU membership talks were consequently suspended. Since then Switzerland's dealings with the EU have taken a decidedly bilateral track. Two series of sectoral agreements, negotiated in 1999 and 2004, resulted in ten treaties that align a large portion of Swiss law with that of the EU (see 'Background').
But the process is not automatic like the one that governs the EU's relationship with other members of the European Free Trade Association, of which Switzerland is a member.
EU-Swiss relations are dealt with in more than 120 sectoral bilateral agreements, which require long and extenuating negotiations before they can be finalised and ratified as treaties.
According to diplomatic sources, both the EU and Switzerland are convinced that agreement needs to be reached as soon as possible.
Barroso and Calmy-Rey said they had made progress on the basis of parameters identified by 11 experts in a working group set up last year to find workable solutions.
"We are going to do this technical work as quickly as possible so that our relationship can be reinforced," said Barroso.
On 14 December, EU foreign affairs ministers called for an overhaul of the current system of bilateral treaties with Switzerland, which they said had ''clearly reached its limits''.
But sources told EurActiv that concessions on both sides will have to be made. "I don't see how Switzerland could make concessions to the EU if there is no progress on the issues that are dear to the Swiss. On the other side, the EU does not want to make concessions if Switzerland does not make progress on issues like taxation," said sources.
Another sacred issue for Switzerland is sheltering its sovereignty, "otherwise we would not be in a position to ratify the agreement," said Swiss diplomatic sources, before adding: "But surely a formula can be found."
Customs control agreement: A solution?
One example is an agreement to facilitate customs control, aimed at simplifying as much as possible customs procedures for goods traffic and at coordinating co-operation at border posts. That is seen as a possible model for other agreements.
The agreement was signed in 2009 and includes an obligation to notify in advance goods traffic between the EU and Switzerland and governs the modalities of further co-operation between Switzerland and the EU in the area of security.
It remains to be seen, however, when a clear framework will be adopted. Sources say the issue must be resolved as soon as possible, as Switzerland is to hold federal elections in October.

README FIRST: uploading images - search - login problems - banner - change user name
How do I post images in my post
Unfortunately it isn't possible to upload images along with your post. In order to post images, they must be located somewhere and then linked to in your post. There are a number of web sites where you can host your image and use the link in your post:
Also, most Internet Service Providers (ISP) offer some web space to upload your images to. You can upload images by using and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program like this one. Contact your ISP for details about your internet space. More info on uploading images using FTP can be found here. Go here to find out how to include these hosted images in your post. (This is the page where you can find info on all post markup tags by the way.) How can I change my user name You cannot change the name yourself, an administrator has to do this. Since we get many requests to change names just for the fun of it we only allow name changes for a good reason, in which case you can send me a PM or email to explain what the story is. Others have to wait until Christmas, when we have our annual name change festival. Where's the search option Given the multilingual nature of these forums, the databases handling search queries are so big it would need a lot of server capacity to deal with these. Therefore the public search option have been turned off until further notice. However, one method that can be tried to search SSC is using Google. You can do so by going to www.google.com, placing the text "site:www.skyscrapercity.com" and then placing the text you wish to search. The result looking similar to this in your browser window. Another method in which you can keep track of threads is by simply going to the blue "Thread tools" tab in a particular thread and click the "subscribe to this thread" option. You then go to your user control panel and you'll find a listing of the subscribed threads easily accessible. How can I send in my banner The top banner of the forums rotates daily. If you want to send in a banner, make sure it is 719 x 123 pixels in size, 72 dpi and no text in the banner. PM it to me or send me an email I have problems logging into the forums After registration, you should have received a confirmation e-mail and click the link in that mail to do so. If you think you have not received your email or something appeared to have gone wrong. send me an email. Please include your username for you'd be amazed how many people send me an e-mail just saying 'Why can't I log in?' Also, make sure the e-mail address you send me the e-mail with is the same as the one you registrated with. For those properly registrated and who have problems logging in or to stay logged in; in general, if you are using a firewall or anything else that restricts the use of cookies or sessions, see if you can adjust some of these settings until it does work for you. Also check the settings of your browser, make sure this site is not being restricted to the maxiumum. The forums keep logging me out Most of these are cookie related. Delete your cookies manually. To do this in IE 6.0: Tools -> Internet Options -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings -> View Files Then search for the individual cookies for your domain and delete them all. The name should be in the form of: Cookie:email@example.com and Cookie:email@example.com. Delete these. After this, restart IE. It seems the forums just don't exist ...in which case your wouldn't be reading this. (j/k) But if you have this problem with one pc and not for another, the problem must be at your end, possibly your provider. At times the DNS servers haven't properly resolved the IP and domain addresses of these forums, in which case you have to wait untill these DNS servers get updated again. Wanadoo has a history of doing this by the way. This might take a couple of days to a week maximum. You also might want to try the following: Go to this directory on your PC: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\HOSTS. Click 'hosts' and open this document with some notepad program add these lines: 18.104.22.168 skyscrapercity.com 22.214.171.124 www.skyscrapercity.com By Jan

Uhhh ... as far as I know it's one pic at a time, SEED. What do you mean by "host" anyway? Uploading to the host?
And as to copyrighting your photos, that's your decision, and it's certainly not a requirement. We have many fine photographers here who use some sort of watermark or "stamp" to show that it's their photo, making abuse more difficult. I've seen several instances here where a forumer's photo suddenly appeared in a newspaper without proper credit, much less remuneration. So I'd say you have to decide!

I believe all of the show, or at least the performances were filmed by MGM.
I just saw an outtake clip of TTWII of Elvis in red ladder suit singing
"All Shook Up" at Elvis World Japan I do not recall seeing it anywhere. I liked the clips I've seen of him in this suit, and wonder if this whole night was filmed? If this clip is new from that night it makes me think maybe much more is there.
I believe all of the show, or at least the performances were filmed by MGM.
I know clips from this night were in the Lost Performances and TTWII SE so I have always figured the whole night was filmed. But others have told me only portions of it were. Since I do not recall having seen this clip before (All Shook Up) I hope this means more, if not the whole night, is there.
All of this show was filmed by MGM. It is just too hard to find the footage of this show and it costs MGM money if they want to find it.
i love that suit - wish they could release more film of him wearing it.
It looks like someone found some more of it since this clip seems new-I just don't recall seeing it anywhere til now.
Your favorite outfit, & my favorite song! He lights up my life!
Here's another favorite song of mine
They filmed the entire show. It was part of the 6 shows they filmed to create TTWII
I really love this suit,and Elvis looked great that time,and I really want to see new footage,so KPM,can you give me the link to that footage,where Elvis is performing All Shook Up...and does anybody here have seen the whole concert?
I'd like to go to Graceland
It was at the Elvis World Japan web site but unfortunately it has been taken down. It was 47 seconds long. They now have up a couple other outtakes Oh Happy Day and some scenes in between shots. I had it on my real player but now it says the link is no longer available.
I found the cllip at You Tube
Thanks forthe link KPM
Let's hope there will be mroe of this soon
I'd like to go to Graceland

New Verizon app untethers text messages from your cell phone
If you're tired of having to tap out texts on your tiny cell phone screen or keyboard when your nearby laptop offers the ease of a full-size QWERTY keyboard, Verizon Wireless has a new app that may be just your type.
Version 4.0 of the carrier's in-house SMS app essentially divorces its text messaging service from cell phones, letting customers send and receive text and multimedia messages from Web-connected PCs and tablets running iOS or Android.
The update includes a number of new features, but perhaps the one customers will find most appealing is integrated messaging, which … Read more

By choice, I have not turned on my tv in a year. After the election, I tried a few times to watch "something" "anything" of value and was shocked by the programming and even commercials. Most commercials portray men as jerks. The programs are vile, filthy and coarse. No respect for the individuals anymore. News is no longer reported, it is projected according to the slant of the person speaking.The tv can sit there like the dinosaur it is. Destroyer of families, destroyer of learning and imagination, purveyor of propaganda and agendas. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Coarsening our culture sells, and makes committed radicals and leftists very wealthy. Neither Barack "Get Revenge" Obama nor the news/entertainment industries will give up the coarsening of our society because they know what enough voters/buyers want to see, listen to and if it can´t be avoided, read.

I do not believeI have seen either one, there is many shows that are vulgar and coarse, just change the channels. I like the History Channels and some reality shows that are not really reality, but Storage Wars is good and funny.

From Romans: "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."That sums up the evening lineup on Fox, the other major networks, and cable.

This is actually somewhat encouraging. Of course it is the chants of the gun control crowd that are loudest - but it is heartening to hear a few other voices, however faint. Time will tell whether they will last and produce positive change.Sophomoric humor like that in these programs is meant to be cool, hip, ironic, worldly, and sophisticated, but the actual message is nihilism and contempt for all limits. I don´t think the creators, purveyors and consumers of such material have any idea of what they are really doing. They are just playing everything that is sacred and good for laughs, for viewers, for sponsors, and of course, for dollars. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Jamie Foxx thinks the entertainment industry ought to take ´some´ responsibility for the anger and hatred which is being carefully instructed to our youth through violence in film and video games?.... Some?Interesting that Jamie Foxx, the entertainer who recently proclaimed Barack Obama is ´Our Lord and Savior,´ should be the spokesperson against Hollywood´s violence. I would venture to guess he has felt the outrage of his sacrilegious outburst..... This must be the´scripted´ act to convince former fans that he is a good person.

Message to conservatives: Don´t let hollywood and its minions dictage on this debate and the CT massacre. They are as responsible as Adam Lanza. Anytime any of these hollywood actors come out condemning the event, we need to remind them their product contributed to it.The entertainment product (hollywood, music, TV, video games) have polluted the minds of people now for over 50 years.Any entertainment person now taking the high road is doing so for cover. Any actor or say Jamie Foxx speaking about these souls CT should be reminded how THEY contributed to that event. Don´t let these uneducated parasites try to blame others.They didnt´ pull the trigger, but Adam got his training from video games and the culture of death thanks to hollywood.

Just as the left blames weapons, we blame cartoons. I am more sympathetic to the argument that the news media profits directly from events such as these and indirectly promotes their recurrence by publicizing them. For far too many, the news media has become reality--the way to judge what is probable and permissible, which may affect the unbalanced. Having said all that, we do not (and should not) order our society around the disordered. The fact the guns help the insane do harm argues for more stringent controls on them, not on me. In fact, America´s decision to let free range lunatics walk among us increases my need to protect myself.As for cartoons, they had nothing to do with this. I decline to watch some things as a matter of personal taste, but I oppose efforts to dictate such matters on behalf of others. Control the crazies. Leave the guns and cartoons alone.

They will just show these later, that is all.The public obviously eats up any crass humor that degrades or make fun of Christianity, or anything with Jesus.

Monica Bisson is mom to a baby girl (pictured below) and first fell in love with FuzziBunz as a nanny for an eco-minded family. Read more about her below…
How did you first hear about FuzziBunz and modern cloth diapers?
I was first introduced to cloth diapering and FuzziBunz by a nanny for a family that was very into "being green." After using them on their children, I completely fell in love with the modern cloth diaper system. Months before our daughter was born, I did lots of research and decided that the FuzziBunz One Size diaper was the best choice for my family.
Why do you cloth diaper?
I cloth diaper for many reasons. The most important being that cloth diapers are cost-savers. True, the initial investment is a lot more than a pack of disposable diapers, but they pay for themselves within a few weeks. The longevity of the FuzziBunz is wonderful. I have every intention of using them for multiple children. Not only are cloth diapers cute and trendy, they are also more eco-friendly and the blowout protection is impressive.
Please share with us your best CD washing/caring tip!
I'll admit that choosing to cloth diaper is an investment for my family. So, what better way to protect my investment than using products that are specifically designed just for cleaning/protecting cloth diapers. More specifically, Rockin' Green Cloth Diaper Detergent. This product is cloth diapers best kept secret! I also never machine dry the actual diaper, only the inserts. After washing, I hang dry the diapers in the laundry room and the inserts go right in the dryer.
What one word describes your parenting style?
If you could be any TV or movie mom (real or character), who would it be and why?
Claire Dunphy (Modern Family) because she is a SAHM who knows how to have fun and is very involved with everything and everyone in her family. She is clever, passionate and often a bit impulsive just like myself!
Thanks Monica! Great tips for extending the life of your cloth diapers!
