A year ago it was hard to get to know the owners of my favorite cloth diaper stores. They were busy, I was busy.
But, as social networking grew and grew it became easy to connect with anyone in the cloth diaper business. Designers, marketers, retailers, bloggers and of course cloth diaper parents now [...]

I am a huge fan of easy. And I mean easy enough for my husband and 7yo daughter. For this house that usually means an aplix all-in-one.
Bottombumpers cloth diapers are just the type of easy everyone needs in their stash. Before Thanksgiving, Stacy sent me a red Aplix (at my request because I don’t do [...]

For many the thought of cloth diapering one child is overwhelming enough, but what about families that cloth diaper 2 or more children?!
When Paisley was born, Haven was still in cloth diapers. The nice part about my children being 2 years apart is by the time the newborn arrives the toddler isn’t going through that [...]

I’m back! And boy am I T-I-R-E-D! Moving is never easy. Add to that being 36 weeks pregnant and driving 6 hours as the only adult in a minivan with 3 children, 3 dogs and a cat and you see why I’m tired!
With this move I have had a few issues come up in regards [...]

All-in-One Comparisons
I recently became quite the all-in-one (AIO) addict- I tried LOTS of different brands in a short amount of time. Some I loved from the moment I opened the package they came in. Others were a poor fit from [...]

Not only does Leslie maintain inventory of top brands but she has created one of the [...]
