My good friend Ellie is pregnant so of course that means baby shower! For this shower that Jenn, Amanda and I threw her, it was decided that it should be a cloth diaper shower. Ellie is due in February and we figured that if the first shower could supply the diapers she needs, it would [...]

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?
