Poop and the Gas Station

Posted by Becca on January 17, 2011

"Oh, honey! I have to pee! Do you think we can stop soon?" I whine as I try to stretch out my long legs in the limited space of the front seat. I look out the window, seeing nothing but trees and more trees passing by at 75mph and realize my request may not be feasible at the moment - since we are obviously in the middle of nowhere. Then, I remember the baby is still sleeping, has been for nearly three hours now, and there is no way I want to disrupt that to take care of my own needs. "Never … [Read more...]

Are removing stains worth risking the warranty?

Posted by Cloth Diaper Blog Guest on October 27, 2010

To Spray or Not To Spray

Posted by Cloth Diaper Blog Guest on September 8, 2010

To spray or not to spray? When I began my cloth-diapering journey, I purchased a package that contained the basics (dry pail, liners, deodorizer, detergent, and a diaper sprayer). Sadly, when my sprayer came, it did not attach to our toilet. This was not the end of the road, just a hiccup. So, I shook the diapers in the toilet and rinsed them in the sink. This is not a bad option, but read further for an alternative. Thus, my husband journeyed to Home Depot and bought some new attachments that … [Read more...]
