I've been throwing around the idea of being an active advocate for cloth diapers some how. I mean, I kind of already am - I pretty much preach cloth to anyone willing to listen, and I'm trying to let everyone I know know about the Great Cloth Diaper Change in my area. But I'm taking it one step further now. With the help of some friends.
I'm going to work my hardest at setting up a way to provide cloth diapering education to low income families. I'm going to approach our local WIC office, social services, and the pregnancy center armed with math facts, charts, and my proposal. I'm also hoping that we'll be able to start a cloth service for families in need who participate in cloth diaper education classes.
Oh I know.... I'm have a feeling I'll get overwhelmed adding this to my already large plate of responsibilities. But this is important. This can help other people. Doing this will set an excellent example for my son, all while scratching this itch I have for cloth diaper advocacy.
Wish me luck!

Well Hello!
Thanks for coming by my blog! Here I'll be sharing about my life with my husband, our son who was born 5 weeks early, our large beast of a dog and the rest of our family. Come see how we do as a semi crunchy, kind of attached, shooting from the hip type of family.
About Me
- Pea-Love
- Virginia, United States
- I'm 25 - a newly wed, and a mother to a wonderful little boy! He was born 5 weeks early, and maybe small - but he is doing big things! Change is welcome in our life, and here we can share how we embrace it.
