As a cloth diapering, eco-conscious mama, do you ever find yourself in uncomfortable situations with non-cloth mamas? Ever been subjected to the raised eyebrows, the snide comments, or have you yourself, perhaps without thinking, participated in this kind of behavior? Do you ever feel a little like you're in a kind of battle?

The Foundations of Potty Training
Convincing hubby you NEED to do the Flats Challenge!
So, I have this problem and its called obsessive cloth diapering. Many of you probably know it all too well. You see that fluffy piece of cloth diaper goodness on your computer screen and you must have it because its different from any other piece of fluff you have! And besides, even though your stash is overflowing to the extent that it can no longer be contained in your dresser, shelf, or basket, you need it. I admit to having this problem. However, Im also quite stingy so I generally drool over the fluff without buying because my baskets are so overflowing that they are literally bursting at their corn husk seams. So, if I MUST have it, I find ways of getting it for free or ridiculously cheap by either finding a knock-your-socks-off-deal, making it myself, or doing a trade with a WAHM. But when I cant make it or find it for free, I will buy it if Ive convinced myself I need it. Thats how I had full stashes of flats, prefolds, fitteds, and pocket diapers.
Creating a Stash thanks to BumGenius!
Laura has also come to realize that she believes cloth is actually more convenient than disposables. Read her thoughts in this great article.

Cloth Diapers, a luxury item? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Lately the world wide web and especially cloth diapering communities have been buzzing around recent news articles bringing to light the fact that low-income families are having trouble affording diapers. Not only are they having trouble simply affording them, they're resorting to attempting to reuse soiled disposable diapers and/or knowingly leaving them on their babies for as long as possible in order to try and stretch the amount of use they can get out of a package of diapers.
You chose cloth for your baby, why not for yourself too?
Mama Cloth
We cloth diapering mommas have so many reasons why we use cloth diapers. We all know why cloth diapers are better than disposables and I know I am not the only one trying to sell my friends on the idea. They are less wasteful than disposables. They are cheaper in the long run. They are softer and more comfortable on our babies bum. And they are just plain cuter!Working outside of the home full time with cloth diapers
Yes, You Really Can Work Full-Time (outside of the home) and Use Cloth Diapers!
Okay, so the title is somewhat misleading. Whether you work full-time at or away from home, as a mother, you discover you really can't have or do it all, but that is not to say that we can't try, right? When I first found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to cloth diaper. In trying to find support with my family and friends (who all looked at me like I was crazy by the way!), I eventually turned to the internet as my main informational resource. I couldn't believe how many great sources of information there were out there, and I didn't realize what a come back cloth diapering had made either. I quickly found a supportive, online community via amazing blogs such as this one, discussion forums, websites, social networking sites, and so on. Before my daughter was even born, I had undertaken a plethora of knowledge on cloth diapering including terms such as AIO/AI2, fitteds, diaper covers, stripping, sunning, Zorb, wet bags, diaper sprayers, wet/dry pails, the pros and cons of synthetic versus natural fibers, cloth diaper safe ointments/detergents, the no-no's of fabric softeners, etc., etc.
