Baby Shower Gift Ideas from Modern Cloth I’m going to be an Aunt on my side of the family for the first time and it has me thinking about babies and baby showers, and the things I’ve either really needed or really wanted for my own babies. I don’t need most of those things myself anymore, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t still fun to buy them, so I checked
TIPS for Participating in the Annual Flats & Handwashing Challenge
Flats & Handwashing Challenge TIPS Back in 2011, I did the Flats and Handwashing Challenge for the first, and only time in my years of cloth diapering and it was an eye opening experience. First of all, I’d been sort of terrified of flat diapers and even still prefolds to some extent, and forcing myself to use them exclusively helped me to grow to appreciate them. Second of all, it
A Mama’s Journey to a Paleo Lifestyle!
Why Paleo? I eat Paleo. Most of the time. I have made a conscious decision to change not just my diet, but my lifestyle to help my body function the way it was intended to function.

Ditch the disposables! Choose Bummis Swimmi and Tankini for fun in the sun!
Meet Bummis NEW 2017 Swim Line I’ve always had super cute cloth swim diapers adorned with adorable fishies, sweet little beach umbrellas, or lovely flowers adorning the fabric. These diapers are so precious (especially compared to their disposable counterparts), that I often skip a swim suit altogether and just let my babies swim in their diapers and no top. But I have often wished that my swim diapers came with
Creative Indoor Activities for Kids in Rain or Snow!

It’s winter again, and north of the Mason Dixon line (and in some places south of it), that means the kids are stuck indoors for a majority of the time.

One Reason Leads to Another, The EVOLUTION of Cloth Diaper Benefits!
Cloth Diaper Benefits We began cloth diapering for one reason alone: money. Now, we cloth diaper for a myriad of different reasons that we never even considered back when we were two months pregnant with our first and thought that using the Gerber prefolds and plastic pants found at the bottom of the baby section in Walmart was our only option. Thankfully, we discovered modern cloth diapers which suddenly made
