All About Cloth Diapers

Since June of this year I have been blogging and Facebooking about my extreme annoyance with ammonia. In June, I asked are “Ammonia cloth diapers burning your baby?” That post is where I talked about RLR. I tried it, it worked for a little while and then I was right back where I started. In [...]

****CONTEST CLOSED. WINNER CHOSEN!**** CONGRATULATIONS, KRIS I.! Honestly, I never really understood this love for wool dryer balls.  I’m curious who the person is who came up with the whole idea.
