Diaper Duty

A little intro to what the washing is all about....

Pretty simple, actually the easiest step in cloth diapering.

The key is have the right tools, we recommed a really great product made by
Jamtots down in Victoria.
The Pail liner/Wetbag.

This bag is used to store your soiled diapers in, when it's washing day simply toss diapers into the machine flip wetbag inside out and wash it and dry it with your
diapers. It's completely waterproof and durable!
Nature is a beautiful thing when it comes to diapers, if your exclusivly breastfeeding no need to rinse diapers as breastmilk poop is water soluable.
If there is any staining hang on the line or lay in a sunny window, the sun will do all the bleaching for you for free!
Simply turn your washer to its hot cycle add a smaller amount of detergent(we have great lists of appropriate ones)Wash then Dry. If diapers are very soiled then an extra soak or pre-rinse cycle may be needed.

So simple. Your already doing crazy amounts of laundry, what's one more load?

Save CBC

Update - In the last 72 hours almost 50,000 Canadians have signed the petition to Save the CBC! Let's up the pressure to 100,000 -- If you haven't signed or forwarded the email yet, here it is below:


Dear friends,


The government is forcing the CBC to drastically cut 800 staff and programming. We urgently need a massive public outcry to Save the CBC:


Sign the petition!



Canada’s media networks have all been slammed by the recession. But the government is reportedly considering bailouts for its friends at private companies CTV and CanWest, while forcing the CBC and Radio Canada to drastically cut 800 staff and programming.


Our CBC is a national treasure, and a pillar of public-interest journalism in a country whose media is owned by a few large firms. We won’t hear an outcry from their media outlets, and the CBC is too principled to use its megaphone to make the case for itself. We are the only voice the CBC has.


We urgently need a massive public outcry to Save the CBC, click below to sign the petition. The government is weak and falling in the polls and enough outrage can make the difference. Parliamentarians have promised to deliver the petition directly in the House of Commons, and we'll even fly a plane and banner over Parliament Hill with the message! Sign now, and forward this email to everyone who might care about this:


http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_cbc


The number of signatures on the petition will be crucial to the effectiveness of the campaign, so let’s get everyone who cares about the CBC and Radio Canada to sign.


The CBC is facing a budget shortfall that amounts to just $6 per Canadian, but its request to the government for a bridging loan to cover this was denied. The deep cuts the CBC is making will damage the organization across the board, and they will not be the last. If we don’t stand up for the CBC now, it stands to die a death by a thousand cuts. Harper’s minority government is politically vulnerable and falling in the polls – public outrage could turn the government around on this, but it has to happen now. Let's move quickly.
