Hi everyone! I recently blogged about cloth diapering…the materials you need to buy, how to put on a cloth diaper, and how to launder them. I realize that it is very difficult to envision the process of folding and putting a cloth diaper on a baby simply by reading about it, especially if you’ve never […] Read more…
Previously, I shared a post on how to get started in the world of cloth diapering. I went over what supplies you need, how much of everything you need, and where to get it.

I love my little neighborhood so much. It’s nothing fancy… charming brick homes built in the 1940’s and lots of trees.
