Diaper Lab “experiment to own” program

So, now that I’ve discovered that I’m a bit of a cloth diapering addict, it’s scary to realize that such an awesome store as Diaper Lab exists within walking distance of my house. A girl could do serious damage to the pocketbook with all the cute fluff out there! Last week I was feeling a [...]
