All About Cloth Diapers

I am so spoiled. For thousands of years women hand scrubbed the laundry and hung it out to dry. What do I with my laundry? Dump it in the washer never stopping to consider that something may need to be spot treated. Then, toss everything in the dryer rarely taking time to pull out the [...]

On April 2, 2009, I asked, “What is your biggest issue with cloth diapers?“  It’s amazing how time doesn’t change the answer much. I’m a mom just like you.  I am busy, my to-do list is way too long, there is always someone needing something, I hardly have time for a shower, and I can [...]

*~{insert tune to the song that never ends}~*… it just goes on and on my friend. Can you guess what it is?? Laundry. Tons and tons of laundry. It never ends.  When I think I have some semblance of control over it, it grows exponentially for no logical reason. Okay, so maybe the 2 adults [...]

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.

Guest post by Samantha H. “Why should my washer get all the smelly goodness of my scented Rockin’ Green?!” Ok, so that wasn’t the FIRST thing that popped into my head when I decided to take the Flats and Hand washing Challenge this week. Although when I contemplated the hand washing part, I most certainly [...]

Today’s questions come from Z’s Mama. If the Flip Stay Dry insert is made of “3 absorbent layers of microfiber and a smooth stay-dry suede that wicks away moisture from your baby’s bum”…does that mean that it will trap the urea? I’ve noticed lots more rashes though I’m changing my son as often as I [...]

This is such a fun post to write! I have a terrible memory so digging into the deep recesses, although difficult, will be exciting none-the-less. 2010, has been of year of much experimenting, trying out new things and problem solving. From FL woes to ammonia to the irresistibly cute cloth diapers that are sent my [...]
