Hip hip hooray for cloth diapers!

If you haven't guessed already, I LOVE using cloth diapers. They are wayyy cheaper (on average you save about $2000 on the first kid, and the savings just goes up on additional kids since you can use the same diapers on them!). And, they are soft and made from natural materials...which is exactly what should be going on a baby's soft bum. Oh, and they are super duper cute! :)

When my mom was in town she helped me kick start my new diaper business! That's right...this mama is sewing diapers! (And selling them here.) I have many more to post on etsy, but I'm trying to hold back and only post one every day or so in order to broaden the number of views they receive.

I'm really excited about this. Largely because we've been using my handmade diapers on Ezra for 4 months now and find them to be our favorite diapers to use....so I feel good about them being a high quality/super functional product.

I will also be making some front snapping, but for now I'm focusing on the side snapping since they are my favorite!

Best wishes w/ your new business venture! I think we definitely want to try cloth diapers w/ baby #3...unless we're on-the-road and without access to a washer + dryer. ;)
