Diaper Parties @ The Holiday Trio Vendor & Craft Fair

This past Sunday I had my very first vendor fair at the Round Lake Beach Cultural & Civic Center from 2-6pm coordinated by Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Multi-Vendor Fairs and I have to say it was quite a success!

I setup my booth with a Christmas motif to fit the theme of the fair.  Along my cloth diaper clothes line I had ornaments tucked in, snowflakes attached to my sign and scattered about the floor with Christmas tunes jingling in the background.  My dolls were sporting some prefolds with Thirsties covers and some of my favorite BabyLegs which were a hit!  So many stopped by just to ask what the cute leggings were.  Checkout pictures of my booth in detail here and here.

The first couple that stopped at my booth had a daughter with a one-month-old child and talked to me about their cloth diapering adventure with pins and plastic pants.  When I showed them how easy on and easy off our bumGenius Deluxe XS AIO’s are they were simply amazed!  I love seeing how genuinely excited and taken people get with how simple cloth diapers really can be.  They requested all the pricing and my ideas for a system to get their daughter started – how exciting :)

Another visit to my booth was by one of the other vendors just across the way from me.  She wasn’t pregnant, wasn’t expecting to become pregnant soon but she talked with me for a good half hour to forty five minutes about dozens of different diapers because she wants to have kids one day.  I love talking to people who are simply interested to learn more just because.  I felt like I was talking her ear off but this started to perk the interest of a couple of the other vendors in the room and I could sense that minds were starting to change.

Overall I had some great chats with some local moms, mama-to-be’s, vendors and grandparents which made this day a total success.  I find such joy in enlightening people and seeing them realize that disposables are not the one and only.  Diaper Parties is here to be your teacher, your friend and your cloth diaper provider.  We’re hoping to change the world, one cloth diaper at a time.

And remember, when you buy disposables you’re buying garbage!

The Birth of Diaper Parties℠

Having been a cloth diapering mom for 9 years, I understand how hard it can be to choose the cloth diapering system that is right for you. I learned by buying different types of diapers until I finally had the right system for me. But that took years, so I thought, how nice it would be to have a diaper party where moms and moms-to-be could look at the different options, play around with them, talk about them together, etc…

So I started with the cloth diaper party in a box! Since I couldn’t ship myself to your home for the party, I shipped the kit. Now, with reps all over the country, Diaper Parties℠ have become a movement. These fabulous reps are working hard to provide you with the most current cloth diapering information while helping you set up a fabulous party! With more than just cloth diapers available, these parties are a hit with mamas out of the diapering stages too!

Our consultants will help you figure out the best solution for you, and are able to provide private consultations as well. Contact your local rep here. Even if you don’t have a rep in your are, simply email us and we can connect you with a rep who can give you phone/email consultations as well. All FREE to you! Our goal is to get you cloth diapers that work for YOU, not just make a quick sale.

I welcome suggestions and look forward to hearing about these cloth diaper gatherings!

What’s in your Bag?

One of the reasons I have been having the pangs to have another baby lately is due to the fact that I get to unpack the boxes at Everything Birth.  Crystal has been busting her bootie putting together the kits for  the Diaper Parties (more on those later).  So, she has been bringing in some of the newest, cutest, and if you ask me, the most practical cloth diapering supplies out there.

Along with all the cute new diapers are the accessories.  I want to touch on the topic of the wet bag.  I am blown away by the wet bag selection.  I only wish I could’ve had these bags when I was knee deep in the whole nappie world.

First and foremost, I have to bring up the reusable pail liner by Planet Wise. Everyone needs one of these.  I would have given my pinky finger in return to not wash out my diaper pail by hand.  Now with one of these amazing pail liners you can just slip it into the wash with the diapers.  WOW!!  Sign me up.

Planet wise also has a hanging wet bag that comes in the most beautiful prints.  No more ugly five gallon pail in the corner.  No way.  This bag makes your dirty diaper containment unit something pleasing on the eyes.  It even has a large zippered pocket on the outside, so you can carry clean and dirty diapers all in one bag.  Great for bringing on vacation.

Now let’s touch on the  tried and true Bummis wet bag.  Bummis still makes their top notch waterproof tote with the drawstring top.  It is available in sizes small all the way up to xx-large.  Even after your diapering needs are all through, these bags will be going off to college with your child.  That is how durable and useful they are.

Bummis now is now offering the Fabulous Wetbag.  It comes in small and medium, and it is in all of the vibrant prints and colors as their Superbrite diaper covers.

Now my question is, Can I really justify having a baby just so I can get all of the cool diapering gear that is available now a days?  I will answer that question now with a no, but I sure am tempted.
