These are the coolest inserts/lay-ins ever! #clothdiapers

Preface:  I don't normally do reviews for products that were purchased used or for shops that seem to no longer be in business, but the concept of these inserts/lay-ins are too cool not to talk about!  Hopefully, you can still order some through her Facebook page.  This is a personal review - no one asked me to write it!

Making cloth diaper laundry easy Today, I couldn't find my diaper pail.  Why, I'm not sure. I'm thinking it's outside airing out under the carport, and it's cold and raining so I'm not going to go looking for it.  Each time we changed Jett's diaper today, we just sat it on top of the dryer.  I've always been a dry, open pail mama, so having them out and exposed isn't really that big…

Flushable Cloth Diaper Liners – It’s time.

Jett is getting to the point to where flushable cloth diaper liners are going to start being a necessity. Before now, he rarely ate any solid foods, but now, he's really into chicken, potatoes, and small veggies like peas and corn.

Leaking is never…
