Flip Diaper Review and Giveaway
I know I’ve been talking a lot about poop on here lately, but let me take that subject on a different tangent and talk a little about cloth diapering a toddler.
Let me just say that last year we went through some rough patches. It all started around watermelon season near his 1st birthday. The kid [...]
We found a farmer’s market!
Changes are a coming. Yesterday, after a lovely 8 mile family run and a trip to Starbucks where I eternally screwed myself by introducing Kendall to the kid’s hot chocolate, we saw a sign at the entrance of a nearby outdoor mall. It was advertising LOCAL CHEESE, and FRESH BREAD. OMG! A Farmer’s Market! And [...]
Cloth Diaper Q&A Time
I’ve received a lot of emails lately asking specific questions about cloth diapering with a baby who is now on solids, my wash routine, etc. I figured I would take a minute to answer some of the most popular questions here. I LOVE that so many people are researching their options and considering cloth diapering. [...]
We have a winner!!
Congratulations to Cathy and Ron in Colorado! They are expecting their first baby in May and are “thrilled to win and be able to sample a lot of different products”.

Cloth diapering – the specifics
Okay. This is the post where I will talk more about the specifics of what we are doing – the types of diapers we use, hook you up with some more great links, talk about our process, and even give you my husband’s opinion of cloth diapers. This too will probably be quite lengthy, so bare [...]
Yes, I use cloth diapers. No, I don’t wear Birkenstocks…
Or eat a whole lot of tofu or anything else really stereotypically “hippy-ish” (not that there is anything wrong with being a hippy! I love me some hippies). I also don’t soak those poop infested diapers in a wet pail, or have to fold squares of fabric and fasten them ever so carefully with safety pins [...]
The good crap and the bad crap
Babies need lots of crap. That’s really a large reason why we had to get a bigger place. I mean, I guess you could go all minimalist and not get the bouncer AND the swing AND the playmat, but I challenge you to find something to keep that kid occupied while you get [...]
