You’re probably grossed out by poop. Right? Or maybe not. Maybe you’re a parent, a caregiver, a pet owner, or a medical professional. Maybe poop is such a part of your daily life that you have to remind yourself not to talk about the consistency and colour of your child’s diaper. Maybe poop has lost…

My Secret Sleep Weapon: A SleepBuddy Review and Giveaway
I wrote yesterday about how to get toddlers to go to bed as peacefully as possible. Often however, that isn’t even half of the battle. At some point in their little lives, toddlers believe that when they wake up, everyone else should be awake and be ready to go for the day. This is reasonable…
Let’s Start at the Beginning: How to Pre-Wash Cloth Diapers
January always brings me back to the very beginning. It is a time to reexamine the habits we have formed and maybe, just possibly, aim to be better – better for our kids, better for the environment, better for ourselves. I’ll soon be sharing with you my resolutions, but I thought now would be a…
The Hottest Gift of the Year
Every year around this time, one product is heralded as The Hottest Gift of the Year. Recent years we have seen the iPad and the eReader and the Keurig coffee maker come out on top. These items become hot commodities around Christmas time, and suddenly everyone has one. Receivers of these gifts feel spoiled while…
Codename: Agent Tinsel – A Giveaway!
I don’t know how you shop for the holidays. I mostly do it online. As a Mom with very little alone time I simply can’t get all my Christmas shopping done with two little snoops riding shotgun in the cart and in the baby carrier. Except, online shopping has become a little more difficult these…
Monsters Are Coming for Christmas
As December picks up and I am desperately trying to keep my head above water (I must have been nuts thinking Christmas on maternity leave would be simpler than normal,) I can honestly say that I have felt like my life has been overrun by monsters for the past little while. Mostly, it is…
Wet Bags: Not Just For Cloth Diapers Any More
Have you ever wondered what’s in my diaper bag? Ok. Truthfully, I don’t even use a diaper bag. Since I already throw out a pretty strong mother vibe, I try to maintain whatever semblance of put-together adultness that I possibly can. For me, that means carrying an overflowing women’s purse, with diapers and wipe cases…
R is for the Rambunctious Rascals making a Racket: Giveaway! (CLOSED)
There are two very special things that my family values: Reading and Music. Reading has always held a special place in my heart and although my husband probably doesn’t want to join book clubs or watch book awards being handed out on television, he reads even more than I do. Now that we have children,…
Fluffy Family
“I’ll be right back. Mommy just needs to change Gavin’s diaper.” Little feet hit the floor behind me as I turn to walk towards my bedroom. “I come too, Mama! Wait a me!” I lay Gavin down on his change mat and turn to look at the stack of cloth diapers sitting on the dresser….
New Fluff: Getting Started with Cloth Diapers
No matter the reason, once you have decided to use cloth diapers on your children, there is still more deciding to do. Just the process of getting the cloth diapers can be overwhelming, especially to someone who has never used them before. There are just so many options available, which is awesome, but also OhEmGee! so…
Fluff in Numbers
If you know a few moms, you likely know at least one who uses cloth diapers on her kids. The practice really has become normalized these days. Still, when I tell people that we use cloth diapers, I get strange looks and questions. Some people still picture an off white cloth with safety pins wrapped…
