Flats Challenge 2013: Day 4 – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

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!

Flats Challenge 2013: Day 2 – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

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!

Is Zote Soap safe for cloth diapers? | #clothdiapers #laundry

If you're here, you're probably wondering the same questions I've been asking for a few years, now.  Is Zote Soap safe for cloth diapers?  After reading this, you decide for yourself. I've tried to research Zote before, and it's really hard to get a straight shooting answer when it comes to ingredients in the soap. This is about all they say on their website, so because coconut oil is cloth diaper safe, you would think it would be safe for your diapers, right? ZOTE is a laundry soap made with coconut oil and tallow, containing optical brighteners, which shape and…

Cloth Diaper saves the Baseball Game | #clothdiapers #houstoncloth

Did I tell you about the time the cloth diaper saves the baseball game? Not too long ago, we were at a friend's baseball game when it started to rain.  We kinda knew it was going to rain, but we didn't think it would rain until later.  The umpires were unprepared.  They didn't bring towels to dry the baseballs off. They were all scrambling to find a towel, when a mom from the stands said "I have a pair of practice baseball pants!", and she offered up the gray, polyester pants.  They were happy with that. Now, the cloth diapering…
