The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette posted a nice article on green living, which features the use of cloth diapers. We're especially happy to see this passage which refers to mom Deana Snyder's use of cloth:

As if we didn't need another reason to like Matt Damon, some recent surfing around the Internet revealed to us a nice plug for cloth diapers on the Celebrity Baby blog hosted by People Magazine. As it turns out, Damon and wife Luciana are avid cloth diaper parents, with GroVia named as a favorite brand. With a third child on the way this fall, it's our hope this lovely couple will continue green parenting and setting a great example for their kids.

This week we noted on our very active Facebook page (Have you "liked" us yet? Really, really liked us?) that bumGenius! is preparing to come out with new designs for their awesome diapers. It turns out that these offerings are going to be part of an "Artist's Series" to debut in a video on October 5th, with shipping expected in November.

I’m a part time Spanish teacher and today was my first day back at school. It was with mixed feelings that I kissed my husband and daughter goodbye this morning because, though I absolutely love teaching Spanish to my wonderful students for four hours every morning, my heart stays at home with my daughter and I dream of one day being a full-time stay at home mom. For now, though, it’s nice that my husband and I get to split the stay at home duties.

Today, I found out, it was really nice that he was the stay at home parent. Why? Oh, I’m getting to that…

To spray or not to spray? When I began my cloth-diapering journey, I purchased a package that contained the basics (dry pail, liners, deodorizer, detergent, and a diaper sprayer). Sadly, when my sprayer came, it did not attach to our toilet. This was not the end of the road, just a hiccup. So, I shook the diapers in the toilet and rinsed them in the sink. This is not a bad option, but read further for an alternative. Thus, my husband journeyed to Home Depot and bought some new attachments that lengthened the tubing on the toilet. I thought my dreams had come true. Now those dreaded poop diapers would be a snap.

I’m happy to say that bumGenius! 3.0 one-size diapers were my introduction into the cloth diapering world. In the soft light of a hospital room with my newborn sleeping soundly beside me and close friends and family crowded around, my best friend gave me three adorable one size bumGenius! 3.0 diapers and I fell in love for the second time that day. Okay, “in love” is pushing it when compared to the love surging through me for my little girl, but I was hooked on cloth right then and there.
