About

I'm Tara, and I like cloth diapers.  There, I said it.  But you like them too or at least are interested in them, or you wouldn't be here, right?

Here's why this blog exists: Thirteen years ago when our oldest was going to soon be born, I decided I would use cloth diapers on her.   I then did what I always do when I want to research something.  I simply typed "cloth diapers" into google.  Well, that ended my "simple" search for cloth diapers.  I quickly found out that there was nothing simple about choosing, using, or taking care of cloth diapers.  Instead, just deciding on a system of cloth diapering was going to be difficult.  I ended up trying just about all the cloth diapering systems out there over the next 13 years.  And I am happy to say that after 7 children, I believe that I have found the simplest way to cloth diaper a baby.  My method does not involve hooking up a fancy diaper sprayer to your toilet, nor does it involve the regular act of dunking and swooshing soiled diapers in the toilet. Yuk! I have discovered a way to cloth diaper that is inexpensive and very effective, yet so simple!

This blog is born out of a desire to save other "cloth newbies" the countless hours of internet research, the time-consuming cloth diapering mistakes, and the hundreds and hundreds of wasted dollars that it can take to find the "perfect system."

There are hundreds of cloth diapering blogs out there.  But this is not just another cloth diapering blog.  You will not leave my blog totally overwhelmed and wondering which cloth diapering method to pick.  You will also not leave feeling like you have to try every diaper out there!  Instead, I will share what I believe is the most effective and simple (yet inexpensive) way to cloth diaper your baby from newborn to potty training.  Welcome!
