Welcome to my blog! I'm Sari, a mother of a 2 year old girl and 7 year old boy/girl twins. I started this blog 6 years ago when I started using cloth diapers. If you scroll back to the earlier posts, you can see my learning adventure with the twins, there's a lot of really helpful information if you are interested in cloth diapers. I hope that this can be a valuable source of information for other moms contemplating making the switch to cloth diapers and/or making their own diapers.

Now I'm using this as more of a general "mom blog". I'm crafty, I like to bake and I'm currently a group fitness instructor and a Beachbody coach. I may plug my own business every so often (click here!), but I will expand my topics to cover basically anything that I feel like writing about - experiences I have or products that I think deserve a review (both good and bad). If I'm getting paid or benefiting in any way then that will be mentioned in the post.

Do you have a product that you would like me to try and review? Send me an email

Wearing My Baby

With twins, it wasn't really practical to wear them as much as I wanted to. Usually it was only when my husband and I were out together - he would wear one in a Bjorn (I know, awful crotch danglers, but we didn't know any better and he actually thought it was comfortable) and I would wear the other in my Beco Butterfly.

Now that I have "just one baby" the entire world of babywearing is opening up before me. My cousin recommended a ring sling for a newborn and gave me a beautiful Sakura Bloom ring sling. I washed it right away (cold wash, hang dry) and watched about 20 YouTube videos while I waited for it to dry. The problem with the YouTube videos is that none of the babies were actually newborns. I couldn't find a video that showed me how to support my newborn's wobbly head. My cousin came to the rescue and suggested that I put her against my chest and tighten the sling so that she is upright. So I did this and here is the result. Eden is about 5 lbs in this photo, she was one month old:
