I admit it. I check out baby butts when we’re at the park. I’m always eager to meet another cloth-diapering family, so I’m always on the look out for an AppleCheeks ruffle or some BumGenius butterfly closure tabs sticking out of a pair of pants. Alas, I have yet to spot another fluffy butt at the…
Cloth diaper boosters do just what it sounds like they do: they boost the absorbency of your diapers. Most boosters are also absorbent and small enough to serve as newborn diaper inserts (for example, in a newborn sized cover or a one-size cover snapped to its smallest rise). Whether or not you need boosters in…
Oh, the paranoia of being a new parent. Scratch that- the paranoia of being pregnant! The lists and lists and lists of things NOT TO DO OR YOU AND YOUR BABY WILL EXPLODE can be super overwhelming. Actually, I found a lot of the lists and warnings really insulting to my intelligence… even my Bodum…
Have you signed up yet for Ebates.ca and Shop.ca? I did last year, and then I kind of forgot about it until yesterday when I received a PayPal deposit of $10 from Ebates, a kind of cash-back on past purchases. Note that my links to both sites are my unique referral links. If you have…
If you had told me before I had my son and joined the online cloth diapering community that I would one day count down the days to a cloth diaper brand’s new release party, then eagerly participate in said event… well I would’ve thought you were nuts. Firstly: What? Cloth diaper brands have release parties?…

I’ve discussed three different options we use at our house for cloth diapering overnight, but I’ve had requests to evaluate all three of them together. You’ll notice I don’t use fitteds overnight, which is a common recommendation. I expected to find more of a difference in terms of price, but actually, each option is close to $30…
Don’t you just love it when people come up to you and tell you how TERRIBLE their pregnancy was? How their labour was 72 hours? And that breastfeeding was a complete and total nightmare? Ya, me too! So much, in fact, that I thought I’d tell you about how, in my case, breastfeeding has been…

Update: BumGenius has since upgraded their pocket diaper the the 5.0 (review here) and changed the Elemental to the 3.0 (review coming soon). I now use the Elemental featured in this review as part of my Extreme Super Soaker Overnight Solution. (1/1/2017) Disclosure: I received these diapers free for review. All opinions remain my own.…
Disclosure: I received this product free for review. All opinions remain my own! I like to think that I’m ahead of the game as far as innovative baby products are concerned… just too lazy to put my ideas into practice. I’m always seeing new products on the market and, rather than thinking, “Why didn’t I…
Scary Mommy is one of my favourite “Cub is distracted for five minutes let’s have a cup of tea” reads. Sarcasm might be the lowest form of humour (although I think potty jokes are), but it’s also my favourite! Scary Mommy’s recent mommy terminology post reminded me of a similar list that’s been floating around…
