~~**CONGRATULATIONS, KRISTEN BOBBITT! **~~ Did you know that the same super-absorbing polymer gel that is in disposable diapers and disposable menstrual pads is also in those handy disposable breast pads?

Anytime a reader posts a question about ammonia someone recommends Eco Sprout detergent.  After jumping on the bandwagon of other highly raved about items and being disappointed I decided to sit this one out.

Kanga Care, the parent company of Rumparooz, has done it again!  They’ve managed to design and release another diaper to add to my ultimate recommendations list. Eco*Posh is Kanga Care’s line of fitteds (one size and newborn), training pants and wool soakers that releases today, August 1, 2011! I feel so blessed to try out [...]
