I am terrible at keeping secrets, but I am frequently entrusted with them by my translation and social media clients. Luckily, I’m better at keeping business secrets than I ever was at keeping my best friend’s secrets in high school. When Bummis had me translating and revising their Splash 2017 catalogue last fall, I had…
I received a product sample and compensation for this post as a Bummis Ambassador. I am not a pushy person when it comes to cloth diapers. Some of my mommy friends feel the need to apologize or justify why their diaper bag is full of disposables, knowing I’m such a cloth diaper fan. The truth…
Sponsored post. The primary objection prospective cloth diapering parents raise when faced with the “prefold + cover” method of cloth diapering a newborn is: “It’s too complicated.” Let me assure you that it is not complicated at all, even during those first foggy days when even making your own cup of coffee seems complicated. I…
This post contains affiliate links. I’ve always been a pocket-diaper girl. My main reason for loving pockets? Easy to customize the absorbency! But with even less time on my hands these days, I’ve noticed I’m reaching more and more for the one-piece diapers in our stash, and there are three that I consider to be outstanding…
I received a product sample and compensation for this review. All opinions remain my own. I am running out of creative ways to express my fondness for Bummis. Bummis is based in my former hometown of Montreal, Quebec. I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with founder, Betsy, and new co-owner, Amélie (of Mini Kiwi fame),…
Oh, potty training. All I can say about potty training Cub is that it has not gone according to plan. Okay, let me restate that: It has not gone according to my plan. Clearly, Cub has the best interests of his mother’s blog at heart. If he graduates into underwear, how can I review cloth trainers? Every time I…
I received these items at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. (For more info on the snap pocket diaper, scroll down for some updates on the design!) Big news hit the cloth diaper industry earlier this year when two of Quebec’s leading cloth diaper brands announced a merger. Bummis, a…
I received this product free for review from Caterpillar Baby. All opinions remain my own. I don’t know many (perhaps any) cloth diapering Mamas who had a perfect overnight cloth diaper solution right from the start. In part thanks to my blog, I have experimented with many different variations, which isn’t a luxury that every parent…
{This is an old post, so the covers mentioned are no longer made. I’ve also since had another baby. Find all my more recent newborn diapering posts here.} Almost everyone I talk to who is interested in cloth diapering tells me they plan to start when baby’s a few months old. There’s something intimidating about…
Update, Sept. 2015 : Bummis has recently merged with Mini Kiwi. I love Bummis. Based here in Québec with their boutique on St-Laurent in Montréal and many of their products manufactured in nearby St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, I can’t say enough positive things about this company and its dedicated owners. You can find out a bit more…
Prefolds and covers were the very first type of diaper I put on the wee Cub: more specifically, Bummis prefolds and covers! Bummis is as local as it gets when it comes to cloth diapering for me: they are based right here in Montréal. You can find out all about the Mama behind Bummis…
