I joked on my Facebook page that my phone wants me to become a hermit because anytime I go near my calendar, the call is dropped. Well, I think I fixed the issue (knock on wood!) so I thought I’d share in case anyone else is having this problem.
The cloth diaper industry innovates. We’re fueled by a passion, not solely money. Even the “big” businesses in the cloth industry are small in comparison to “big” businesses in other industries, and most are still family run. Even the “biggest” have founders actively involved in the day to day business operations and when you buy from them, you’re paying for dance lessons for their daughter, not a second vacation home for the CEO (as the often shared small business meme goes). Like other small baby-related businesses, many brands and shops were founded when the family identified a problem and set out to solve it. I think the cloth diaper industry is pretty darn great.
Cloth diapers are a cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to keep your baby dry, but they can also do a lot more.

We’ve all heard of black Friday, we may have shopped small on Small Business Saturday, and eagerly anticipated the deals on Cyber Monday. Have you heard of Giving Tuesday? 2014 marks the third annual Giving Tuesday, a day to inspire charitable giving in a season of shopping.
You can choose to donate time, goods or money to the charity of your choice, to make a difference both locally and globally.
On this #GivingTuesday, consider supporting Giving Diapers Giving Hope in their mission to loan diapers to low-income families, ensuring no one has to choose between diapers & utilities and that every baby has a clean diaper!
I made a video in 2010 demonstrating how to fold cloth wipes to pop up in a wipes container. For whatever reason, it appears I didn’t actually post it here on the blog?
Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air. Read More »
