I am on my 3rd load of diapers through the wash today. Cloth diapering two babies is a chore, ladies. That's all I got today. Diapers, diapers, and more diapers.

Facebook is amazing. I've been able to reconnect with a lot of old friends, and do you know I have friends from high school who also cloth diaper?One of them has an Etsy shop, and I just might be interested in these inserts. I bet they would be very trim in my bG's.Speaking of bG's, I had to change my brand! new! baby! girl! yesterday in the babies' bedroom. Ironically, there were no open

I am having a cloth diapering fit over here. I love my cloth diapers and I don't want to quit using them, but I am not sure what else I can do. Here's the story:Daniel is still having major problems with his boy bits turning bright red, very painful he screams and cries. This is after wearing one cloth diaper. I have stripped them so much my water bill went up last month. I have changed

Soooo, yeah. I thought my cloth diaper days had come to an end. Mmmyeah. Notsomuch.So here I am building a cloth diaper stash for a newborn again and let me tell you, it is WAY more fun than the first time around when I had no idea what I was buying, what would work, and would I even like them. What I am doing differently this time:1. More newborn prefolds, fewer fitteds2. More wool covers

Today I give thanks for the caveman who invented fire to heat water, and the people who figured out how to get hot running water into people's houses, and Best Buy for selling me a washer a few years ago to circulate that hot running water throughout my diapers.We finally got that stank out of my inserts. I have adjusted my wash routine to have an extra water only wash cycle for the inserts to

I figured out what my stink problem was that I Facebooked about.(and might I add, where I received the sage advice to "wash the diapers separate from other clothes." Thanks. I got that memo awhile ago.)My wash routine changed when I bought my bumGenius stash back at tax-time. I had been using All Free & Clear for all my laundry, and just using 1/4 of the amount for my diapers. It worked fine,

I fell out of the groove. I still love my cloth diapers and wouldn't trade them for anything, but I have to say that while out of town at the beginning of August I used 'sposies and just lost my CD moves!I got two free, huge packs of 'sposies. Since Hubs is not the greatest fan of the nappies, I took 'sposies on our trip away. I knew he'd be pulling lots of daddy duty, while I was finishing up

Valerie posted a great review about bumwear one size diapers. So CUTE! Except I'm on a cloth diaper purchase diet. (this looks like a little portion of dessert though!)She also noted a recipe for cloth wipe solution that I may just have to try out. Just wanted to throw something up here - funny that we're all cloth diapering pros now and poop and diapers are just part of the daily routine. :)

I'm sure glad I kept all my Thirsties AIOs that I quit using about 6 months ago. Just for kicks, I put one on Zesty since we were upstairs after a bath and the diapers were all downstairs. I stuffed it with one of the bumGenius newborn inserts since he was going down for a nap (blessed nap!), and it fit him just fine. I guess he got longer in the torso since the last time I tried them on him.

(subtitle: "Why Didn't I Try These First?")Oh.My.Diapers.I am so impressed with this diaper, and he hasn't even worn it yet.A few months ago I bought a Mommy's Touch pocket diaper from the Bargain Basement, and when I opened the envelope, I was like, is this a joke? It was like a diaper sleeve, and I could very easily see Zesty wiggling the insert right out the back end. I just resigned myself

I haven't posted lately because it's just business as usual in the diaper area.And I didn't mean that like it came out, but hey, it's out there now...Except I remembered this morning one of the reasons why I love bumGenius. Zesty's battling hand-foot-mouth, with an extra blessing of occasional diarrhea, so we've kept him in 'sposies until we know the coast is clear. This morning he loaded that

Hello Mamas!I think it's really clear that I love to cloth diaper, but lately I feel like all I am doing is washing nappies. I am thinking that my stash is not big enough, Brillant, I know. I consider myself somewhat of an inquiring mind. How many diapers do you have in your stash? How many do you think is necessary? How often do you have to wash? I would like to only have to wash every 2

I have 3 small Kushies for sale and a Large Happy Heiny with insert (never fit Daniel right, but is practically brand new), three medium Fuzzi Bunz with inserts (dark blue, light blue and yellow) and two medium Happy Heiny's with inserts (bright green and turquoise).

Thanks Karen for giving the baby update for me! You can go to my blog here to read about our new addition and see a couple pictures. I'll update the best that I can. Once we get home and start using newborn, tiny cloth diapers again I'm sure I'll have things to say. The first post will give an update to how two recycled sweater soakers survived being put in the washer and dryer by mistake. That's

Hey Friends,I just read via Facebook that Tara had her baby boy on Monday.  He was a wee bit early at 35 weeks, but is coming along nicely.   Keep them in your prayers!

Hello!! My name is Valerie and I haven't posted over here yet and I thought "no time like the present". So here I am. I have three children and I am CD'ing my very soon to be one year old. I have absolutely fallen in love with it. To give credit where credit is due though, I tried CD because of the excitement I felt when reading Mrs. Lemon talk about it. I tried it out and now I am hooked.

Thank you Karen, for your kind words! I'm very excited still about cloth diapering, 'specially now that we've got the new bumGenius 3.0 stash, and the new baby on the way.Although, it is highly likely that I'll have two in diapers at the same time. Someone mentioned to me in passing that I should really concentrate on potty training Zesty before the new baby is born.HA. That's a lot more

Hello Diaper Divas,Since I am on the downhill slope of cloth diapering and blessedly moving toward the days of toilet training bliss, I've handed the reigns of The Diaper Chronicles over to Mrs. Lemon. She is much more up on the coolest trends and hottest places to buy right now. The blog is in excellent hands. Thanks, Mrs. L.

A big happy birthday shout out to Karen!This blog wouldn't exist if she hadn't started it to reach out to like-minded cloth diapering mommas. I have many blog friends, but I consider Karen a real-life friend. We just happen to never run into each other at the store. Probably a good thing, because we'd stand for hours chatting while our kids prance around impatiently.Love you girl! Have a great

Okay.I have more confessions.When last I posted about cloth diapering I admitted to having some diapers that were still in the diaper pail and overdue their washing.I have to admit I waited too long. I am so ashamed.Ten of the eleven Fuzzi Bunz that fit Baby J were mildewed. (sniff sniff)I can't really believe I admitted that so publicly. Life has just been THAT insane for a while. That's all

With all of the talk of the new anti-lead laws, I'm concerned about the future of cloth diapering.Not that there's lead in cloth diapers. Actually, right now I wish there was some lead in my son's diapers. But will the cloth diaper companies go out of business because of this law? Or will they just hike their prices to include the lead testing? Should I buy up a huge stash before February 10th

I dug out my infant diaper stash yesterday.It's been 6 months since I put it away? Unbelievable. My sister is going to borrow my prefolds and covers for her new little baby due in January. I may pick up some girlie colored covers though. And my 8mo is looking like he's going to outgrow the medium Thirsties in the rise, while I am still doubling over the velcro even with nighttime stuffing. The

I want a few more and all the sites selling discounted ones are totally sold out.I would also be interested in a similar product if anyone has some to unload - thirsties happen to be the only one I've tried, but I am open minded!

(I'm shamelessly adverstising for my bloggy friend, Amber.)Amber just (as in today) opened her very own diaper shop! She's getting started for now and plans to carry more things as business grows. In the meantime, she made some good choices for getting off the ground.Go check it out at Punkerdoops Diapers! (Side note: I've told her she needs to stop by here. . .she'd fit right in.)
