			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We hope you are enjoying checking out the new blog&#8230; a good friend of mine <a href="http://www.simplysplash.com/">Kim Townsend of Simply Splash</a> worked on it to get it just right for us, so a huge thank you to Kim.  If you are ever in need of blog work, a splash page, an html site, or any real internet need, she&#8217;s your girl!  I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to work with her a few times now on different design needs.  She has done our splash page on our site and also created our logo.  Gotta love that she puts up with me and my crazy off the wall questions.  I&#8217;m holding out hope that she will move to Florida to live near me (there has been talk&#8230;lol.).  If you want to find Kim on the web click <a href="http://www.simplysplash.com/">HERE!</a> </p>
<p>This blog is a little different than the old version, we love is sooo much more!  Some tips&#8230;</p>
<p>If you need to search for a post, the search tool is at the bottom of the page.  There you will also find post history by month, and the blog broken up into categories.  You can use the drop down to find posts that fit the category of your choice.  You can also view our website by click any of the links below the slideshow header at the top of the page.  That will take you directly into our main website galleries.  You can also view our About Us page, and contact us directly through the blog with the contact page.  Our phone number is also displayed at the top of every page, so feel free to pick up the phone with questions when you have them.  You can also subscribe to this blog to be notified when there are updates, that option is also at the bottom of the blog.  If you find a post you like, please feel free to comment about it.  I love to see that others are reading, and get your input and thoughts.  </p>
<p>We hope you enjoy the new blog&#8230; we put a lot of thought into how we wanted it to look, and are very excited to share it with the world.  It is the best place to keep current on the happenings here at CNP and see our latest work.  If you&#8217;ve had a session with us, you can come here in the few days after your session to see a preview of your images from your shoot.  I will be trying to post much more often and shaer more of what is up with us.  We truly hope that you find this to be a fun read and one that you will come back to regularly!  </p>
<p>Thanks!  <img src='http://cristynielsen.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a random post, but thought it was definitely worthwhile to share.  We are doing our best to go &#8220;green&#8221; at home and also with our business, so this is yet another step in that process.  We&#8217;ve always been into doing things naturally and doing whatever we can to help the planet, so this is so exciting for me!</p>
<p>My recent birth clients Nandi and Jason showed me the diapers they are using for their son Bodhi.  They are called <a href="http://gdiapers.com/">G Diapers</a>. I came home and checked them out and researched a bit and realized just how cool they are. They are what they call hybrid diapers, half cloth, half disposable. The outer cover is cloth, then there is a inner liner which holds a disposable pad. The pad itself is made out of cellulose, which is what helps trees hold their water and is totally biodegradable and breaks down in 50-100 days in a landfill or compost vs the 500 years it takes a normal disposable to break down. You can also flush the peed on pads, you tear them up and put them in the toilet and they just break up. They are seriously cool&#8230; and I&#8217;m not usually one to post about diapers&#8230;lol.</p>
<p>I bought baby C a starter set, extra cover and case of pads. We got them today and they are the coolest things. Since it&#8217;s part disposable you only have to wash the covers occasionally when they get wet or soiled. They are so darn cute too, so that is a bonus. She can put on a t shirt with the diaper and look cute as pie! They aren&#8217;t super expensive once you buy the covers. The inserts are just a little more than disposables, and the benefits are far greater! The little things like this really do make a huge difference in the world, I&#8217;m so glad we won&#8217;t be throwing away diapers anymore!</p>
<p>If you have been looking for a eco friendly diapering solution these are it! Check out <a href="http://gdiapers.com/">their site</a> for more info! I&#8217;m officially SOLD on the idea! And I think Camdyn digs them too&#8230;lol. The covers are so cute too I may just get a few in different sizes for the studio to put over clients disposables!  Here&#8217;s some photos of the little monkey to show the fit and style.  Yes she is already sitting up and just turned six months a few days ago!  How time flies&#8230;wah!<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dZ81F43UEv0/SFuzk9lO9yI/AAAAAAAABKo/CVIQwCAeTvs/s1600-h/sixmonths_0019.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dZ81F43UEv0/SFuzk9lO9yI/AAAAAAAABKo/CVIQwCAeTvs/s400/sixmonths_0019.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_dZ81F43UEv0/SFuzk9W71OI/AAAAAAAABKw/PTcDA6q8BRs/s1600-h/sixmonths_0007.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_dZ81F43UEv0/SFuzk9W71OI/AAAAAAAABKw/PTcDA6q8BRs/s400/sixmonths_0007.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dZ81F43UEv0/SFuzlM0_mZI/AAAAAAAABK4/aokT-P9haZw/s1600-h/sixmonths_0009.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dZ81F43UEv0/SFuzlM0_mZI/AAAAAAAABK4/aokT-P9haZw/s400/sixmonths_0009.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
