So how do you dry your cloth nappies effectively in winter, without racking up a ridiculous power bill? Here are 6 of our favourite tips to speed up the drying process, even on dreary days.
Learn how to use reusable nappies, including how to wash cloth nappies, cloth nappies vs disposable and a free downloadable wash guide.

It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday….Okay. No. Now I see why Alex told me “Mommy, don’t sing” yesterday. #lame I hope you all had a wonderful week! I’ve been busy, busy, busy getting ready for this weekend that is going to be crazy with a capital “C”. Christian is getting baptized on Sunday, so we will have 10 adults (two of which are pregnant — NOT ME!), 3 toddlers, 1 baby, and 4 dogs in our house. Whew! It’s going to be a blast! Alex and Christian are going to have both of their cousins here to play with. Must remember to take a million pictures! Oh! And we are celebrating my parent’s 30 year anniversary! 30 years, y’all! They stuck with it through some really major renovations and raising two not emotional at all girls and everything in between. Love you guys! Here’s to 30 more years of wedded bliss! Aaaaanyways. Frugal Friday! It’s a thing. I wanted to share an easy way that we save a little cash-a-roo around here. First, I talked a bit about it a while back, but we like our bums fluffy around here. And by that I mean, our kids wear cloth diapers. Or kid, because big boy is potty trained! High-five! Although, I feel like that high five should go to John and I for cleaning up so much yuck to achieve this potty trained status. But, who’s counting? We love using cloth diapers because 1) it saves a heap of money, 2) it’s better for the environment, 3) babies are more adorable with big, fluffy bottoms, and 4) I can’t think of another reason right now. My all-time favorite diaper (from what I’ve tried) are the BumGenius Freetimes. They make cloth diapering so easy because it’s an all-in-one diaper so there is no stuffing, wrapping, using snappis/pins…etc. I do have a few other types that I throw into the mix, though. I have three Kawaii Baby Good Night Heavy Wetter diapers (
