I have recently switched from disposable to cloth diapers. In fact it was only in March of 2010 that the change happened. In this short amount of time I have gone from being clueless and ignorant about cloth to being very passionate and borderline obsessive about it.
I have been spending a lot of time on the internet researching various aspects of cloth diapering. I'm reading blogs related to the topic and I'm spending much of my time thinking about it in general. I'm not exactly sure where this will take me but I suppose it is a leap of faith. If I were to dream big, I'd say that one day I would love to have a store, where I could not only sell cloth diapers and all the accessories that go with them, but also promote healthy and natural parenting in general.
It's a big deal for me to put that in writing. A big deal because I have a huge fear of failure. Starting a business is not something I have really ever wanted to do mostly due to the intimidation factor. I am very good at what my husband calls, "head trash." I can talk myself out of just about anything. For example, as I am typing I have already thought, "There are already too many online cloth diaper stores and blogs, why should I start another one?" Or, "What happens when my little ones grow out of cloth, then what do I blog about?"
Well, instead of looking too far ahead and psyching myself out I am going to take a baby step and at least choose a direction. I'm going to go out on a limb and unleash my passion into the blogosphere and see what comes of it.
I have been Cloth diapering my 2nd Son for over a year now. Never cloth Diapered my 1st son,but will be Cloth Diapering my New Baby Girl this Oct:)
ReplyDeleteI salute your on your new venture into cloth diapering. I am a cloth diapering mama since my kids were using flat cotton fabric, safety pins, & plastic pants (29 years ago).
ReplyDeleteI have rediscovered cloth diapers since opening my own baby & maternity shop, and becoming a grandmother 3 years ago.
I have been doing tons of research recently myself. Trying to figure out what would be the best cloth diaper brands & styles to carry in my store. There is so much to learn huh? I hope you decide to use cloth...it is so much better for baby and the environment. I wish more young moms would consider it.
Look forward to following your new blog, and joining you on this venture.

PS, I discovered your blog because you posted a comment on HappilyDomestic's blog, which she so kindly included a plug for my store where she bought the Pop-A-Tots she mentioned/photographed in her Camping with Kids article.
