How to make Wool Dryer Balls

Now I'm obsessed with not only fluffy cloth diapers, but Wool Dryer Balls too!  Today I came across a blog post about how to make your own.  Check it out here: http://blog.bummis.com

What great Christmas presents these would make... hmmm must look into it!

Made me laugh

I can across a blog post today at http://dirtydiaperlaundry.com titled "That is a lovely diaper... FOR ME TO POOP ON!"  Definitely made me stop and read.  I just had to share!  Click here for a direct link to the blog post.

Leena Loves Crafts Dryer Ball at Love Lives Here

My cloth diaper journey has brought me to new and exciting places, most of which I knew little or nothing about.  One of these is the world of wool dryer balls.  I haven't had the pleasure of trying one out yet, but have entered several giveaways in hopes of expanding my fluffy journey.  Wool dryer balls are said to shorten drying time(thereby decreasing utility bills) and reduce static cling(thereby eliminating the need for fabric softener dryer sheets).  Since cloth diapers and fabric softener don't mix, wool dryer balls are a way to achieve static-free status while drying your cloth diapers.  

Intrigued enough to try your luck on winning one?  

Here's the 411:

I recently started following a blog called Love Lives Here.  You can find lots of great reviews of cloth diapering and other fun family friendly products on her blog.  One of most recent giveaways that I've entered is for a Leena Loves Crafts Dryer ball.  You can find out more about Leena's dryer balls at her Etsy shop.  Enter to win a dryer ball here.

Happy Winning.  Contest ends 10-18-2010.  ***Closed***

Types of cloth diapers

I found a great blog post defining the different cloth diaper styles with pros and cons of each.  It can be found here.

My 2 cents:  What works for some people may not work for you.  All babies and Mamas are different.  I started out liking the AI2 concept but soon realized that I was too cheap to use the disposable inserts, so AI2's weren't necessary.  It turns out I like the ease of pockets as they are great for overnights and when out and about.  Recently I won an embellished prefold from Sweetpeaboutique and was fortunate to have a few covers to use it with.  It is in a super cute Ooga Booga print and has turned me onto the fun of prefolds for use when at home.

Cloth Diaper Safe Detergents

One of the first questions I had about Cloth Diapers was, "How do I wash them?"  Followed immediately by "Do I need a special (special = expensive?) detergent?"  Well, here is what I've learned...

Cloth Diapers do need to be washed with detergent that is free of optical brighteners, fabric softeners, and bleach.  The most inclusive list of detergents that I've been able to find can be found here: Diaper Jungle Detergent Chart.

I've tried bumGenius Diaper Detergent and Rockin Green Soap and like both.  I also have a few samples from Ruby Moon Natural Laundry Wash and Lulu's Glamour Wash.
