Note from Maria: After reading the referenced article, I asked Adina to write about things parents can do to solve this problem. After my experience taking the online feeding course, I knew she’d have great insight.

When every food penny counts, parents have more money at risk feeding kids. A recent NY Times article, A Hidden Cost to Giving Kids Their Vegetables (why poor children can’t be picky eaters) discussed some reasons for why poorer families don’t eat as many fruits and vegetables.

Making The Most of Your Travel Dollar in California

Making the most of your travel dollars

Making The Most of Your Travel Dollar in California

Change-Diapers expects to be compensated for sharing this information with you. Year after year, California is one of the most visited states in the nation. Its natural scenery and entertainment options are hard to beat for both singles and families.

Just the same, although it is nice to travel to see places, being able to save money on your travel budget means that you are able to spend more money elsewhere or extend your trip. In most cases, the easiest way to save money on a trip to California is to travel when others aren’t. If you visit during the off-season, you will find discounts on hotels, restaurants, and transportation that are not offered at other times during the year.

11 years of #clothdiapers via @abbyslane and @chgdiapers

We’ve all had that familiar feeling… You run into a child you used to babysit in the grocery store, and they are excited to tell you about what college they got into, leaving you feeling suddenly aged and a little bewildered. Or, you are catching up on Facebook, seeing a fun post about your old favorite breakfast cereals, fashion trends and music when you realize the title of the article is “archived hits from the past!.” Grrr…

How to Spot a ‘Black Market’ Cloth Diaper

Oct 21,2014 / By Maria / 19 Comments

Have you ever had trouble determining whether the diaper you’re looking at is a rebrand or knockoff? This post has been in the works for quite some time, even before Misty Henry & I put together our webinar on this topic for the RDIA and I’m grateful to Elizabeth for putting together this list of things to look for when determining if a diaper is a black market or re-branded diaper. Please note: this is not intended to single out any particular brand, nor to condemn those who have knowingly or unknowingly purchased black market diapers. It is simply an aid for those consumers who want to know what they’re buying. Opinions are that of the guest poster and do not necessarily reflect those of Change-Diapers. Please also visit CleanDiapers.org to learn more about clean, safe diapers. There is also a list of reported, non-CPSIA compliant diapers available for RDIA members to view.

An Open Letter to the Woman at Cracker Barrel

Jul 28,2014 / By Maria / 44 Comments

An open letter to the lady who shot me a disgusted look and asked to move away from our table in a restaurant, because my three-year-old was throwing a fit:

Hi. You don’t know me. I’m Stacy. I’m a wife and mom to three kids born in 3.5 years during my twenties. In a breathtakingly short span of time I went from single college girl to newlywed to new mother to mother of multiples. I still wake up sometimes amazed that this is my life, thrilled and terrified that I’ve been given the opportunity to nurture these three souls.
