Now that Greenly is almost 4 months old (which I cannot believe); we wanted to update you on how cloth diapering has been going.

It's time for an update! Here I am at the kitchen table, wearing slippers, thermal underwear, pajama pants, a long sleeve shirt, and a very thick fleece hoodie. This for me is a miserable New England winter. It was only 10 degrees when I drove to work this morning and I am already sick of [...]
