mine is a Brother from Wal-Mart, very basic & cheap :) knowing nothing about sewing machines, it took me a while to figure it out. but after i did, i love it!
did you know the old fashioned sewing machines with the foot powered tredle(?) are still made? no electric! they are made for the Amish but anyone can buy them. i think they are sold at lehmans.com
Lehmans has an entire non-electric catalog, if you like things like that. they have electric products also.
i found it interesting. :)

the sewing machine part is made like a modern sewing machine, but it has a foot-powered treadle. here's the link

i know i physically couldn't use one, but if i could, i would try it. i think there would be something very rewarding about sewing using a machine powered by your own strength.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
