Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Pooters Diapers and they have provided me with some wonderful products. As always, all opinions are my own. When I first started cloth diapering over 6 years ago, I purchased a diaper stash of what was primarily the most popular (as determined by web forums) brand at the time. I was also focused on being as cheap as possible, so I didn't do a lot of exploring of different brands. When my second was born, I decided to expand my stash because I had a few months of 2 in diapers. Since [...]

Black Owned Cloth Diaper Businesses-Vote With Your Dollar

By |2020-06-08T13:38:28+00:00June 8, 2020|Diaper Reviews, Natural Parenting|

I have not been very active on this site lately- I apologize for that. Being almost 8 months pregnant, dealing with COVID-19 restrictions, the recent reminders of how far we have yet to go in our country to bring change and equality for the black community, and an unexpected tragedy in my family have really diminished my emotional capacity to engage with the online world. However, I know many people are wondering how they can be part of the change needed to bring about equality. I am not going to pretend to be an expert on how to do [...]

 "The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness." - Jessica Lange. I love that quote because it is so true, and unfortunately when it comes to the stay at home mom vs working mom debate, the word "selfish" gets thrown around WAY. TOO. MUCH. Sometimes the accusation of selfishness comes from others, but sometimes it's our own feelings and "mom guilt" that bog us down. I have had the privilege of being able to do it all--I was a full time working mom, a stay at home mom, and a part-time working mom. My schedule still flops back and forth on occasion. [...]
