“Cloth diapers are typically not an option for the poor who often lack working washers and dryers.” – St. Louis Post Dispatch Today’s post is focused on the data we now have about cloth diaper feasibility and washing when a family is living on an income below the poverty line. As awareness grows around diaper need, […]
Women are an incredible force. A force for right and against wrong. A force for our children and against harm. A force for freedom. And the underserved. What if, for a minute, we turned our eyes towards love? What if we set aside differences and focus on unity? What if we use story to teach others […]
The exhilaration of seeing two pink lines on the pregnancy test for the first time fifteen years ago is a feeling I won’t soon forget. I called my friend and had a squealing moment about those two pink lines. Then I had to take the other test… just to be sure. It felt amazing. I’d dreamed about having a […]
I’ve barely slept the last three days as I’ve pondered writing this post and what to say and how to say it… After all these years, I’ve come to really appreciate the people who try to understand the complexities involved in making all of the people happy all of the time while also trying to operate […]
Dear Mommy Bully,

Focus is essential for achieving a goal… any goal. Owners of new cloth diaper companies tend to spend a great deal of time looking at (and worrying about) what other cloth diaper companies are doing. What everyone else is doing doesn’t matter. What *does* matter is what you are doing, how you are doing it […]
Today, there are millions of bumGenius, Flip and Econobum cloth diapers in circulation all over the world… so many individual pieces that we’ve finally lost count. Using numbers from several years ago, we calculated that our brands had already probably prevented the use of at least a billion disposable diapers, assuming only one owner and […]
I work in our retail store on the weekends occasionally. Often, the customers who come in on Saturday work a full-time job outside the home in addition to raising a baby. These are very busy families who are concerned about the environmental effects of diapering and want to raise their baby in an environmentally conscientious […]
