Troubleshooting Cloth
March 13, 2009Wash and reuse?….Yeah, right….
March 13, 2009So my post titled “The ‘Yuck’ Factor” covered some of the details of dealing with dirty cloth diapers, but what about wash day? This is often the point where I lose people in discussions about cloth diapers. “I already have enough laundry and can’t keep up. Why would I add more loads?” they say. I’ll have [...]
Sewing, Sewing, Sewing….
March 3, 2009Just a quick note to let you know I will be back to blogging (and getting to those posts I talked about–like the one about diaper washing) by next week. Seems that my little fundraiser has turned out better than I planned and I have 65 diapers to sew! Yikes! You should see our office-turned [...]

Nighttime (or Anytime) Diaper
February 23, 2009Some of you might be skeptical about using cloth on your baby overnight since you may be worried about leaks.

The “Yuck” Factor

Cuddly Newborn Cloth!
February 19, 2009Okay, so for those of you who are expecting, this one is for you. These diapers are called “contours.” The difference between contours and all-in-ones is that they do not have elastic and they require a waterproof cover. So you end up with two steps to putting the diaper on instead of one. BUT….the benefits [...]

February 17, 2009Okay, are you ready to commit? Email orders to me, Kerry,(kd_2006@hotmail.com) and we will work out payment arrangements. (If you have no clue as to what I’m talking about, read my previous post “Cloth Diapers and Missions,” you can find it on the sidebar.) I will need to put an order in for supplies all [...]
All About My All-In-Ones
February 17, 2009So for those of you who are interested in helping us fund our trip to the Philippines (see “Cloth Diapers and Missions”), here are some diaper specs for you.
The featured diaper is an all-in-one. I will post again soon with another type of cloth diaper, specifically one useful for overnight. The basic idea of an [...]
Why I chose cloth
February 13, 2009Isaiah is sporting one of my all-in-ones. This diaper is exactly like a disposable, only it isn’t!
There are a million places on the internet you can go to read all about the benefits of cloth vs. disposables. I am not going to go too deeply into that here, simply because the info is available elsewhere. [...]
