Now most, if not all of the profiles showed up as location: US. But I was most impressed that ladies out there like to list cloth nappies as an interest!
They are definitely a way of life. For me they started out as a curiosity; a google search that wasn't necessarily going to go anywhere. Then I saw all the awesome colours and patterns you could get, and the convenience of them compared to what I wore when I was a baby. I was hooked. (http://www.hippybottomus.com.au/)
So, what's the low-down? Well, I have a nappy bucket (no soaking required though) so I only have to wash every second day. During summer (especially here in Australia!) it's best to wash everyday as the smell hits you more when you take the lid off! Keep the lid on and the smell is contained though.
I use flushable/biodegradable liners, so that cuts down on the scrubbing. I use a small bucket of warm water and some Sard soap to sort the dirty ones out and then chuck everything into the washing machine together. They always come out sparkling clean! You have to use a gentle detergent though, not the hardcore stuff advertised on t.v. all the time. If you want an extra boost though, I add bi-carb of soda into the wash slot and vinegar into the fabric softener slot. And no, your washing does not come out smelling like a fish and chip shop!
Back to the profile searching in blogger. There's just so many! You really could keep this as a private diary as unless people go specifically hunting for you, you're just one in a crowd. So maybe blogging is just all about talking to yourself in a socially acceptable way? Hmmm...!
Western Australians should know where this is. If you don't, you've missed out - my photo doesn't really do this beautiful area justice. Comment if you'd like to know where this is.
