All About Cloth Diapers

I feel ready. Wednesday I didn’t.  I’ve done a lot between then and now. My banner is made (hand painted by me because it’s so much more organic than a plastic one ), handouts are rolling off the printer as I type, entry cards are cut and cake balls are in the box! Yes, I [...]

by Tara Dukaczewicz The decision to cloth diaper was such a natural one for me. It started long ago when I was just a child with a baby brother. My mother has always been so environmentally conscious, today she would have definitely been called “crunchy” back then she was called weird. She was the mother [...]

How I Was Introduced To Fluff by Anna Wixom When I became pregnant with my son a year ago I started researching everything…….except cloth diapers. If someone would have told me last year I would be using cloth diapers I would have told them to go take their hairy armpits on a hike.  Other than [...]

My cloth diapering story began not too long ago-kinda. It was kind of a perfect storm of events that got us going on cloth diapers. In September, I found out my husband and I were going to have another baby. It was a shock and we had been planning on waiting until he had a [...]

You poured your heart out in these stories.  I could feel the heartbreak of years of trying to conceive, the agony of watching you baby suffer through months of persistent rashes [...]

You guys are amazing! Things have been crazy around my house this week… First, Sterling began potty training.  Unexpectedly, which left me feeling a little overwhelmed by his “bigness”.  Day one went as you might expect, a few successes and a few messes.  Day two was going awesome and then the stomach bug hit him. [...]

The other day a friend of mine made a comment that made my stomach turn. I LUUUUUUUV Pampers. I don’t care how much dioxin they have in ‘em. Bold statement.  Sarcasm?
