Happy Earth Day 2010

While our diaper is travelling to a local Living Green Show in Quebec, Canada this week:

Because we can all get a little greener....

Here's a drawing from artist Rick Green of Organized Doodles. He does great work and is available for commission work. I used him for my brother's birthday last summer. And while I'm pretty sure he doesn't do cloth diapers, he's a Green guy. :)

How it all began....

Once upon a time I was on a Cloth Diaper site and I commented on how I had bought a diaper from a mama in MA. She laughed (via email) because I just knew she was (I've got the ESPN like that). She mentioned that she had bought it from a mama in New Mexico.

And we started thinking....what if we chronicled where a single diaper went? And the babies/kids who used it? So we got a diaper cover donated, we got some KICK BUTT embroidery, and it began.

It started with my 2 sons, one who was almost out of dipes, and one who had just arrived. At this point my oldest was just 2 1/2ish, and the baby was about 2 months.

I've included pics of them then and now~Enjoy!

Now the oldest is 4ish and the 'baby' just turned 2! Where did time go?!?!

Rockin' Out in San Antonio

We were so excited to have the GFB diaper here in San Antonio. We have been long time fans...so when the diaper arrived on our doorstep, we decided to give you a glimpse into what it's like here at our house. And in our house, we spend a lot of time thinking about cloth diapers. In fact, our family business is to make sure that everyone's cloth diapers get clean.

The Global fluffy bum got a behind the scenes look at what it's like to work for Rockin' Green during it's week long visit. First, we had Zachary (18 months old) help us with the packing peanuts. He might have spilled just a few in the process. Don't worry, they are bio-degradable!

Then it was time to get packing, and he helped us pack up customer orders by pushing the post office bins around the kitchen floor.

He really likes testing them out, to make sure that they can indeed hold up to 30 pounds like they say on the side of the box.

And when that got boring, he moved unto his brothers room where he proceeded to take all the toys out of the toy box and climb unto his play table. And that is pretty much how the day goes, help mommy pack up orders, play with his big brother, take a nap and repeat.

We had a lot of fun with the GFB diaper, and sent it on it's way to Canada freshly washed and with a little sample of Rockin' Green love just for fun!

Thanks, Kim & Company! We're glad you guys took part of the adventure and we're sure the mama in Canada is grateful for a little sample love!

Stay Tuned for another Canada kid taking part. ~Hally~

The Bum was in Brazil!!

Another turn with the fluffy fun! And it was really great! Marco is now a year and a half and the cloth diapers are going strong over here! This time the diaper came with us to Brasil (where I am originally from) to visit family and friends over the Christmas break. We had a really fun time! And the weather was great!

The diaper came to the southeast of the country. The state is called Minas Gerais and the city is Belo Horizonte (translating: Beautiful Horizon! Because of the beautiful mountains that surround the city). It is the third largest metropolitan area of Brasil. If you would like to learn a bit more about this city please click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belo_Horizonte
Check out Marco enjoying a nice afternoon by the Pampulha lake and also enjoying some refreshing coconut water!

Thank you Paula & Marco for the great adventure. And for keeping the fluff traveling so far.
next up: THE WWFB is being sent to San Antonio!

Winter Wondering

I know some of you are probably wondering where the diaper is and what's going on with it these days.

It's was/is in Brazil for a whole month with one of our previous posters, Paula. She's returning home shortly and promises pics and details of her adventures.

If you are interested in participating again, please let me know. If you have friends that are interested, please let them know about it.

As always best wishes this winter to you & your little ones,

Bum to Brazil

The Fluffy Bum has arrived and leaves soon for South America. Where it will enjoy a lovely bout of warm weather while we all freeze here in the States.

Happy Holidays to everyone and love to your little ones!

Last Participant

We're up to our last participant who is taking the diaper over the holiday to BRAZIL!!!!

(Unless we get anyone new?!?!?)

After that, I'm compiling a small package of the WWFB and some diaper donations from our local CD'g mamas to make a care package for Miracle Diapers.

If you're interested, please look into it. Miracle Diapers is a FANTASTIC organization and could really use your cloth if you can spare your cast offs. Especially if you're a sewing mama who is trying a variety of styles/fits, this is a great place to purge.

All the best to you & yours this holiday season,
Hally
