Strib Interview and New Business Partner
I just got off the phone with Sara Moran, a freelance health writer for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune newspaper. She was doing an article on the cloth diapering trend and I was happy to help. Twin Cities folks can check out that article in the Variety section of the Strib on April 6th, everyone else should be able to find it online at www.startribune.com on or after the 6th.
In other good news, Baby Belle's Favorites (babybelle.etsy.com) has joined us as a business partner! Nikki makes many items but her shining star is the KCK One one-size diaper - an easy and attractive one-size diaper that doesn't rely on snapping-down to size it. As always, you can also find a link to her store on our website.

New Business Partners
I just wanted to let you all know about some of our newest business partners - Baby Bayrs, Motherhood Naturally Publications, and The Elimonster.
Baby Bayrs claim to fame is a great training pant that is mostly waterproof (similar to Imse Vimse) but also makes other great children's products. Her seamstress skills don't stop there - if you have ever attended one of my cloth diaper classes, the cute diaper fabric swatch book I carry around to show all the fabrics was custom made by her for me.
As for The Elimonster, her diapers come in just gorgeous prints and she has snazzy longies and tees as well. Bonus for Twin Cities mamas - she's local!
Motherhood Naturally Publications is slightly different from our usual business partners in that they don't sell diapers. They do, however, have a great selection of cloth diapering publications - prefold handouts, a cloth diapering handbook, cloth diaper 101 class curriculum, and more. They also carry books and publications on other natural motherhood topics.
A big thank you to these businesses! If you are in the market for new diapers, please consider these ladies. You can find them at theelimonster.etsy.com, babybayrs.etsy.com, and www.motherhoodnaturally.com/store.

March FFS Giveaway!
The winner of our February Giveaway was amnesiac3 - thanks everyone for entering!
For March we are going to try something new - the March giveaway will start today and we will continue to accept entries until we reach 100 entries. To enter, please comment on this blog entry with your email address and your entry number. Not sure what your entry number is? Look at the comments that have already been left and add 1 to the last entry number posted. If you are the first person to enter, your entry number is 1. I need people to number their entries instead of just counting the number of comments because not all comments are from people who want to enter.
What is up for grabs in March? A beautiful matching set in EUC - a large Painted Patooties diaper, a 2T t-shirt, and striped leggings. The diaper is pink with pink guitar screenprinted on the bum and the t-shirt is tie-dyed with a matching guitar screeprinted on the front. The leggings are in coordinating shades of pink. If this item doesn't suit you, again, we have a copy of the book "Diaper Changes: The Complete Diapering Book And Resource Guide" by Theresa Rodriguez Farrisi that you can choose as a substitute. Shipping on either item varies by your location, but should be about 2-3 dollars.
I am heading to the cabin with no time to post pics, but i'll try to get some up this weekend.

UPDATE 7/26/09: Okay, that didn't work out - we'll try something else, okay?
