Today, I made my first carrot muffins ever! I found a recipe online for maple-sweetened carrot cupcakes, and decided to try something similar. After a pumpkin muffin disaster the other day, I was hoping that these would turn out a bit better. They turned out great!

Have you tried washing your little one’s diapers with soap nuts yet? I have. Actually, I’ve been using them for at least 3 years now. Most of the time, I’ve been very happy with the results, but there were times in the beginning when I really wanted to quit using them.

When I was pregnant with my second child more than a year ago, I ordered two Chelory Wool-In-Two (WI2) diapers without inserts. I ordered the narrower crotch version because I was planning to use it as a WI2 only and never as a cover over fitteds.

When the two WI2s arrived, I was very happy with the quality. The wool was very soft, stretchy and not too thick, making the diaper very trim. The workmanship was impressive. I was a very happy customer :)

A few weeks ago, I received two wool dryer balls from Someday Sarah in exchange for some mama cloth. The Someday Sarah wool dryer balls are made differently than most dryer balls out there. The outside of Sarah’s dryer balls is crocheted with 100% wool yarn, and the inside contains wool sweater scraps. Sarah makes a lot of recycled wool soakers, so she has quite a few scraps. I think it’s great that she figured out a way to use those scraps instead of throwing them away. [ Read more ]

My son’s new minky and bamboo fleece fitted cloth diaper. The diaper pattern needs slight changes, but overall I’m pretty happy with how the diaper turned out.
