OK, averted disaster, though my 2yo is now running the house nekkid. What can I say, she [...]
Homeschool no more . . .

While journeying my cloth diapering adventure, I kept coming across other ways to re-use things we generally enjoy in their disposable form these days: un-paper towels, sandwich bags, lunch bags, grocery bags, and more personal items like Family Cloth (yep, cloth you use [...]
Bad parents . . .
By · CommentsI used to just be baffled at parents who could let this happen. I would have been right there with Doc (read the comments) lambasting those irresponsible parents.
Until last Monday night.
