All About Cloth Diapers

I am the most forgiving person, really.  If you hurt my feelings or do something wrong I’m quick to forgive and forget. But, for some reason I have this inability to show grace to the big businesses that bully small wahm shops.  I mean, come on! Tell me how a business with a couple of [...]

Occasionally I receive comments that make perfect blog posts. Today in Volume 7 of the Cloth Diaper Q&A series, Lisa tries to iron out a few wrinkles in her plan to start cloth diapering. Warning, this is going to be long, lol! Ok, I’ve been reading your blog for two days straight and have learned [...]

I love me some chunky baby thighs! But, they are a hazard. Consider yourself warned. Use extreme caution when snapping a SIDE SNAP cloth diaper on your meaty thighed baby. You know what. Now that I think of it I have my memories all wrong. I was inspired to write this post because of an [...]

**Congratulations, Beth C.! You were chosen as the winner!** Cloth diaper makers are stepping it up and I like it! Our only choices for cloth diaper prints are no longer just flowers, stripes and polka dots (although I love stripes and once collected almost all the Goodmama striped fitteds!).
