it's a bum wrap

i am starting a cloth diapering store. it's called "a bum wrap." i got the idea back when i was pregnant and was looking around town for a place to check out my cloth diaper options. lo and behold, i could not find such a place. i had to figure it all out for myself via the world wide web. i don't think other new moms should have to do the same. i want to be a resource for moms who are thinking about cloth diapering, and an advocate to reach those who would not normally consider it.

i only got serious about this business a few months ago, after talking over my ideas with several people. when my husband started getting excited too, i knew i could really go for it. keep your eyes open for our website to be up and running in november, 2005. we are shooting for february, 2006 to open a physical location. i hope to add a diaper service option within a year.

i think i'll have more posts in the future about cloth diapers... because i'm sure you got the wrong idea as soon as you heard the word. we have no pins, no plastic pants.

i love using our cloth diapers. next time you see me with my little guy, take a look at his bum wrap.

Xilitol links

Xylitol comes in different forms. You can buy products containing it, such as gum & nasal spray. Or, you can buy it in crystal form for cooking & sweetening beverages. There are probably other ways, but I haven't looked into it.

Here are some links, you can buy products from most of these sites:

emeraldforestxylitol.com
xylitol.org
xylitol.com
xylitolstore.com
globalsweet.com

I got my first canister (Emerald Forest brand) from Gentle Strength Cooperative, but I see it is cheaper online.
