Back to Cloth for the Rest of “Diaper-hood” Thanks to Sweet Pea
Posted on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by Jen
When I had the twins, I used cloth diapers a lot of the time from when they were around 3 months until they were around 9 months. My diaper of choice at that time was Sckoon Organic Cloth. I still have much love for these diapers, but I found that they fit really small. Their small fit lent themselves well to my girls who were preemies (3 pounds and change each at birth) but as they grew, even their petite figures were too much for the largest size. Given the nature of our business, we are lucky enough to be able to test out a wide variety of products. Only those that we love pass the test and make it onto our site. One such brand is Sweet Pea Cloth Diapers.

Mention in the Calgary Herald
Posted on Thursday, December 3, 2009 by Jen
This morning I got a Google Web Alert notifying me that we got a mention in the Calgary Herald. There was an article about the come-back of reusable diapers http://www.leaderpost.com/story_print.html?id=2272059&sponsor= It has some great tips for choosing a cloth diaper.
