Flip Hybrid Cloth Diaper System Review | #flipdiapers #clothdiapers
I teach a cloth diapering basics class, and one of the most commonly asked questions is "What is your favorite type of diaper?" Without hesitation, I always answer, "I love the Flip Diaper System." I love that it's trim, affordable, and best of adjustable from 8-35 pounds (which adds to it's affordability!). Imagine my excitement when this package landed on my doorstep! When I first started cloth diapering many, many years ago, one of the downsides was the bulk. I can remember that my mom hated holding my babies because their rear ends seemed so disproportionate to the rest of…

Flats Challenge 2013: Day 6 Double Dish Towel Fold – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers
Day six of the Flats Challenge was a great day, for me and my love for flats! One of the things that I did was come up with a new fold that was a little more involved than the super easy Jett Fold, but it also shows that you can truly use something that you already have in your home to cloth diaper without cutting, sewing, or altering in any way.

So it's day four of the Flats Challenge, and we're still trucking! Today, flats have been worn to a Kindergarten graduation (not by the kindergartner, I might add), to get the van out of the shop, to run through the drive-through to get coffee, and to the babysitter's house!

It's that time again! The 3rd Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge is officially underway, and I'm excited to be participating once again. Today is day two, and we're still going strong. Yesterday, after I decided to challenge myself within the challenge, I forgot to put a cover on Jett, and, well, let's just he's been sick, and I learned my lesson! I won't be doing the rest of the Flats Challenge coverless, that's for sure!
