All About Cloth Diapers

I invited you to join my laundry experiment back in late February.  I was committed. I was willing to bite the bullet for the sake of my readers.  You know, be all sacrificial and spare you the pain of wasting money.  Or, there was the possibility that I’d stumble upon the most natural way to [...]

**contest closed** For a lot of you Hard Rock is going to be the answer to many, many prayers. Only those who have hard water know the headache that comes with doing laundry. The problem with hard water is the mineral content.  Those minerals bind to your clothing fibers and are not broken up by [...]

Come on! Who wouldn’t want to spice up their laundry routine?! I wasn’t exactly looking for a change to my routine but while I was shopping on one of my favorite sites, Alice.com, I stumbled upon the True Green Laundry Washing Ball I know what you’re thinking. Didn’t she try out a Laundry Ball about [...]

I remember a couple of months ago a cloth diaper mama on Twitter asked what everyone did for “cloth diaper stones”? I had no clue what she was talking about.  Not that that is entirely surprising, I can’t possibly know everything there is to know about cloth diapers Of course, as it always works out [...]

This past summer I introduced you to Rockin Green Cloth Diaper Detergent.  Kim kindly sent me some samples and I eagerly used them all up.  I was pleased: clothes smelled clean, cloth diapers smelled clean, no rashes occurred… two thumbs up. However, after the samples were gone I went back to using my Kirkland’s Environmentally [...]

Don’t feel bad.  Even the most die-hard, committed cloth diaper mamas reach the point of wanting to give it all up. For the most part cloth diapering is merely another task like unloading the dishwasher or setting the table.  It’s just something that is done second nature. But, there are those days when everything routine [...]

UGH! I knew it would happen.  On Friday I packed a suitcase for my family of 6 to go stay overnight at my mother-in-law’s house for a family reunion on Saturday.  I changed Sterling’s diaper and tossed it in the pail.  Normally, I quickly walk away but this time I had a lingering thought… “I [...]
