How I Use Bac-Out
There are always tons of questions when it comes to washing cloth diapers, removing stink, and how to use laundry additives. Like most of you, we were plagued by the dreaded stinky diapers even when supposedly clean. I had read about Bac-Out by Biokleen and gave it a shot. At first I used Bac-Out in [...]

Why I Blog About Cloth Diapers
In 2005, I entered the world of cloth diapering. I’d love to say it was an easy transition but oh my goodness was I overwhelmed. I know for a fact that I would have not started cloth diapering at that time if it wasn’t for my wonderful friend Melisa. She literally took me by the [...]

There are tons of WAHMs that can turn an old wool sweater into the cutest pair of longies for your little one. Recycled wool longies are substantially less expensive and work just as well as [...]

It’s Time For Yummy Winter Woolies Part 1
For most of you cold weather has arrived! To a Texan like me as we reach nightly lows in the 50s I’m reaching for the longies. Brrr…lol. Despite the fact that Paisley is a full time pocket wearer I still can’t resist the warmth and complete cute factor of a pair of longies. Not to [...]

To Wet or Dry Pail It…That Is The Question
I have always used a dry pail. Even written about how I would never use a wet pail. Until now. The stinkiness just got to be too much. My husband and oldest daughter complained incessantly about the smell of Paisley’s diapers. Haley (my oldest) was always calling for me to change Paisley’s “stinky pee” when [...]
