A little “About Me”, Please: I am a lover of cooking, gardening and the ocean. With 2 small children and the business, that means fast meals and dreams of days when I’ll be able to spend time in the kitchen again, a garden with some flowers and edibles but a lot of weeds and walks with the kids on the seawall and at the beach. Sitting beachside and contemplating the ocean view is one of my favourite places to nurse.
Why cloth diapers for your children: When I was pregnant with our first daughter, I started to think about the parent I wanted to be. One of the things that rung true with me was using cloth diapers. Why – it just seemed to make sense. And more and more sense once I started researching what diapers were made of and the effects of disposables on my children’s health and our environment. For me I feel great that I am using reusable diapers because they are healthier, they are better for the environment and they make a rather mundane daily chore a LOT more fun!
Why do I love to tell folks about Cloth diapers? I love to teach and help people reach their goals. I am a firm believer of the old proverb that speaks to teaching people to fish…Cloth diapers can really make a difference in a family’s life and I love showing people how to do it and watching them succeed!
What is my best tip for parents new to Cloth Diapering? Be ready to learn about diapering. It’s okay to make mistakes and you may get a leak here and there. There is always a solution to be found and that’s what I am here for – to help. Cloth diapering will most likely enable you to get to know your little one better – you’ll spend a little more time at a diaper change and you’ll learn when they pee and poo. Trust me, that’s useful!
