Out on the Town With Cloth

baby_with_yellow_diaper2

I'll admit it: I haven't always been a fan of cloth. After some experience with leaky prefolds, pins, and plastic pants in the 90's, I used disposable diapers on "Peanut" (now 3 ½). I switched to cloth with "Little Bit" (now 4 months) because I felt like a part owner of a diaper company by the time Peanut was two years old. Even though I'm staying home with Little Bit for five months, I'm always on the go. My plan was to use cloth at home and disposables when out on the town just to take the … [Read more...]

Babysitters and Cloth Diapers

There was that time I came home from errands to find that my dear friend had put one of my daughter's Haute pocket diapers on backwards. Then, there was that other time when my mom sweetly lathered my little darling's rashy bottom with a thick layer of creamy Desitin before placing her in a bumGenius!. And I can't forget the time that my sister put her Smartipants Diaper on so loosely that I was amazed there weren't puddles of pee on the couch. Leaving your baby with a sitter is stressful … [Read more...]

The Smartipants Diaper: A Review

I recently won a Smartipants One Size Pocket Diaper in a blog giveaway. This is the first one size diaper that I have owned, aside from the Flip One Size Diaper Cover. The Smartipants "claim to fame" is the smart sleeve which allows the insert to agitate out in the wash cycle, rather than requiring you to touch the soiled insert in order to remove it. My overall opinion of the Smartipants diaper is that it is a good diaper for a reasonable price. The Value The Smartipants diaper … [Read more...]

I mean, get to kill two birds with one stone - get my teeth clean, and make more fluff for my baby's bum! Now you know what happens when you take any type of craft with you to work on while you wait in a public place people ask questions. "What are you working on?" the dental … [Read more...]
