Shaving Wool Diaper Covers – Great Tools for Shaving Wool | #clothdiapers

We all want our wool to look nice.  I know I do.  Knitted and crochet wool diaper covers, pants, and shorties have a tendency, overtime, to fuzz and (what we call) “pill”. Basically, this means that the wool will become fuzzy and small pilly balls will form. So, when you’d like to take the little one [...]

Day 7: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Yay!  We made it through seven days of flat cloth diapers and handwashing and drying.
It’s been a long week, but that is totally unrelated to diapering!
The main thing that I’ve learned during this old school week of diapering is that it’s not really that hard.  Although I see why cloth diapers have evolved into the [...]

Day 6: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Truth be told, all of Jett’s AIOs, Pockets, Fitteds, and Prefolds are in storage!  We just have too big of a stash to bring to my parents’ house while we wait on the closing of our home.
It’s not always easy to live in someone else’s house and cloth diaper, especially if they’re not 100% behind [...]

Day 5: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

This is the third night, this week, that the water has gone out.  My mom called, and they said they were sending a technician, but they had no idea why the neighborhood keeps losing water.
The main thing I’ve learned this week is to wash early!  Once everyone gets home from school and work, starts cooking [...]

Day 4: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

One of the things that we were discussing yesterday on our local Flats & Handwashing page is how, for the most part, we love the challenge, and we’ll more than likely continue to use flats.  While the handwashing part isn’t all that bad, it’s the general consensus that we’ll probably stick to our washers and [...]

Day 3: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Well, the good news is… we have water tonight!  We didn’t lose pressure like we did last night!
Of all weeks to lose water, two nights in a row, we lose it during the flats challenge!!
We shall persevere!
I like to use flats a couple of ways!  I like the origami fold when I’m looking for a [...]

Day 2: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Day two of the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge went much like day one!!
I was able to get yesterday’s set of dirty diapers washed this morning when the water was back on, and started on my way to a day of flats and covers again!
Low and behold, right after dinner tonight, the SAME thing [...]

Day 1: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Today marked the beginning of the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge!
I decided to take part in the flat challenge because I wanted to pay homage to our fore-mothers.  We spend so much time searching for the diapers that’s going to be the easiest to put on, the fastest to wash and dry, the easiest for our husbands and [...]

Second Annual Flat and Handwashing Diaper Challenge | #clothdiapers #FlatsChallenge #ecofriendly

So you say you can’t afford cloth diapers.
You don’t have a washing machine?
Oh, you’re dryer’s broken…
No problem!  Seriously.  No problem.
Why?  Well, I’m glad you asked.
You don’t have to have money to cloth diaper your baby.
…and I’m going to prove it!
The Second Annual Flat and Handwashing Diaper Challenge is coming up the week of May 21-27, [...]

Re-purposed Ecover Bottle for Cloth Wipes Solution! | #clothdiapers @ecoverus #recycle

Many have asked me what I use for my cloth wipes.  In the past, I have used a peri bottle, spray bottle, glass jar, wipes warmer, and a bowl.
Any of these WILL work, but here are the things that kept me going right back to plain water and not using my neato wipes solution
Peri Bottle: [...]
