I pray your Christmas was as full of blessings as mine was. Of course it wouldn’t be life with children if there weren’t a few hiccups but those are easily overlooked on this wonderful day. I’m praying that tomorrow on my BIRTHDAY I won’t have this...
Babylegs and Huggalugs
When Paisley was born I had 2 pairs of Huggalugs waiting for her. What a breeze diaper changes are when you have leggies! Huggalugs are made in Australia and are the same design as the more mainstream Babylegs.
I went with the Huggalugs because of reviews stating that they were better for chunky thighs....
Performance Update: Laundry Ball and Zorb
I’ve recently received a number of emails wondering how the Laundry Ball and Zorb are performing after repeated uses.
The Laundry Ball: When I first received the the Laundry Ball I was amazed at its ability to remove odors. I could wash a load of diapers with nothing but Oxyclean and they came...
What Is Zorb? Do You Know?

There is no end to the eternal quest for a more absorbent cloth diaper that remains trim. We’ve all packed all poor baby in a diaper that is 6″ thick preventing her from bringing her legs together. But that is certainly not done out of preference. It’s sometimes a necessity just...
Traveling With Cloth Diapers

I’m currently at my in-laws house in a tiny Texas town. As I was packing this morning I didn’t blink an eye at whether or not we’d be traveling with cloth. I packed my storage bin with all our cloth diapers and the container of cloth wipes and loaded up the van.
My in-laws have a...
Thought About Using Cloth Wipes?
Posted by Autumn Beck in Accessories and Fabrics on 07 18th, 2008 | 9 Comments
I have to admit that switching to cloth wipes took quite a while for me. I began cloth diapering in 2005 and only this year have stopped buying disposable wipes.
What stopped me was the major convenience of disposable wipes. I had no simple system in mind on how to use cloth wipes.
It wasn’t...

Amber of Diaperkits.com has created some great how-to videos on YouTube recently. This video shows you how to use the blind method of sewing in elastic in a fitted cloth diaper.

I recommend you get a flip top trash can for a pail, pail liner and a couple of plastic baskets for storage. I purchased my Sterilite pail from Walmart...
How We Cured a Yeast Diaper Rash
Posted by Autumn Beck in Accessories and Fabrics on 06 11th, 2008 | 15 Comments
I have dealt with rashes on Paisley for pretty much her whole life (18 months). I’ve gone from thinking it was an allergy to serged diapers, then to a wool allergy, then eczema, and even food allergies.
During this process I sold all the serged diapers and switched to turned and topstiched. When...
