I made some changes to our eating habits recently, after much thought and thumb twiddling. What really pushed me over the edge was reading about the FDA acknowledgement of arsenic in conventionally raised chicken. Instead of risking any exposure to these small doses of arsenic (I mean, we eat A LOT of chicken), I decided [...]

To follow up my cloth diaper 101 post and my how to: prefolds, I thought I would share more about wool diaper covers. We use Little Beetle wool covers. Curious how wool covers work? Wool is naturally water repellant but not water proof. The microscopic structure of the wool, along with the naturally produced lanolin [...]

To follow up my cloth diaper 101 post, I thought I would share what is currently working for us in the world of cloth diapering. Since Jude has a bit of a polyester sensitivity, most pocket diapers are not an option for us since microfiber and PUL = polyester. This means cotton prefolds and wool [...]

It’s taken long enough at this new house, but we finally started our compost pile. Hooray! I feel so much better about our kitchen scraps going back into our garden than sitting in a landfill. We ended up getting this nifty 90 gallon plastic bin from Overstock.com that nicely conceals that compost. I’m hoping to do [...]

There are so many reasons to use cloth diapers – saving thousands of dollars, reducing the amount of trash sent to landfills, reducing baby’s exposure to chemicals. Lately I’ve been fielding a lot of questions about cloth [...]

Remember how I made my own wool diaper covers? Well, they work . . . alright at best. I obviously have somethings to learn about crafting my own wool diapers. So I caved and bought two ‘one size’ wool diaper covers from Little Beetle from Tiny Bird Organics. A green one and an orange one. [...]
I think I’ve taken this whole hippie thing to a new level with this. I mean, I did it out of necessity (see here for more info on that), but man, I never thought I would see the day where I was sewing my own diaper covers. These are definitely not my finest sewing moments, [...]
