Children with healthy habits grow up to be healthy adults. However, you may want to do more to help your kids form the right habits. The good news is that becoming healthy isn’t very difficult in principle. The healthiest people have a few habits that they practice consistently to remain that way. Consistency and your example are really the two key things that your kids need to develop healthy habits. If you want your kids to become healthier, try incorporating these three habits into their lives and yours.

As soon as your baby learns how to crawl, they are off to the races trying to explore every nook and cranny of the surrounding environment. While that means a lot of fun discoveries, there are also substantial hazards in most homes that, if left unchecked, could pose a danger to your baby's health and safety

After the stress of labor is over, you finally get to hold the child you have been waiting nine months to meet. It is euphoric, but bringing your baby home from the hospital for the first time can be just as magical. For tips, and further guidance on bringing your newborn home, read on.

It's never too early to teach your child self-control that can be used throughout life. The earlier you start, the more time your child has to master skills that will help them to stay cool under pressure.

Potty training is definitely not the easiest parenting task to tackle. Most children tend to be pretty stubborn about this process — no matter their age. Of course, there are circumstances that may change your child’s timetable for learning to use the bathroom. If you’re ready to tackle potty training, here are three common things to watch out for and why.

Now that fall is in full swing, Thanksgiving and dare I say Christmas will be here before we know it!  Bring on the pumpkins and the candy canes please :) 
Getting prepared for the holidays is exciting, but also can bring about some stress. Especially when travel is involved.  Seeing in-laws, parents, relatives.  Car rides, planes and more. 

Since starting cloth diapering I've always been a “Thirsties Momma.” I've recommended Thirstiesto so many people because I not only love their products but I love what their brand stands for.

So for anyone who has children eating solid food, you may be starting to get overwhelmed by all the snacks your children are consuming!  We are going through this very thing in our own home with an 11, 9, and 4 year old.  It goes like this...

The GroVia O.N.E. is the latest edition from the really awesome mind of Kim Ormsby's team, and one of the greatest product launches in the highly competitive and ever evolving cloth diaper community. 

So… you have been cloth diapering your little one for a while and you have come to a slight speed bump… nighttime.  Your little one has graciously given you a longer stretch to sleep at night, but is waking up wet.  What should you do?

Are you or a friend getting started with cloth diapers? Does it feel just a bit overwhelming? It is easier than you think! Just a few simple things and you will be ready to go!

So... you have 24 cloth diapers(maybe more if you are enjoying the new Bum Genius prints), wipes, wipe solution and maybe a Grovia Magic Stick around your changing table.  You have a lot of baby stuff and limited space.  This begs the question…

While cloth diapering is definitely less expensive in the long run (most families save $1,000-$2,500 for just one child), the upfront cost can scare people silly when it comes to deciding to cloth diaper.  In fact, one of the main reasons some decide not to do it is the up-front investment and fear that they will not want to stick with it. 

My unsureness probably made them unsure about the situation as well.

Did my blog title shock you? I know, why would a "cloth diaper lady" ever admit to common cloth diapering "cons"  actually being true? Well....because some of them actually are! 

Buying and selling used cloth diapers, it's a thing! A lot of people don't realize there is a huge market for used cloth diapers but there certainly is. eLeMeNO-Pee even has a Facebook buy/sell/trade page specifically for this purpose!

It's that time of year again! Can you believe the grass is already greening up, the birds are chirping outside the windowsill, and the temperatures are climbing? I LOVE it! Nothing feels more refreshing than the dawn of a new Spring and eLeMeNO-Pee has a few products that will help start the warmer-season off right!

The other day, I was visiting with my sister, who is expecting her first child later this year. She mentioned infant massage and asked what I thought about it, and thus, a blog post was born! It was something I did a handful of times when my daughter was tiny but I admittedly didn't do it nearly enough. 

A few days ago, I asked a simple question on the eLeMeNO-Pee Facebook page. It was a simple question, but one that garnered various different responses, none of which surprised me at all. They're common fears! I want to address those head on so that those pondering the same questions can get a feel for the reality of using cloth diapers and know there's nothing to fear!

Lots of families think about trying cloth diapers, but believe it to be a complicated process or get overwhelmed with what they don’t know and dismiss the idea completely! What you may not know, is that by purchasing and using disposable diapers, you are spending literally thousands of unnecessary dollars! Most children are in diapers for about 2.5 years, 1 cloth diaper can be used for more than two years and you can save all that money for more exciting things!

This is from a brand new customer (who happens to be a great writer)!  It was a joy to help her on her journey!

So for the last 2.5 years I've been cloth diapering my little guy and loving it so much! That's why I got into this business in the first place! I would often wonder (as I was feeling so smart) why wouldn't anyone want to use cloth diapers? They are SO wonderful, not to mention the $$$ savings and being better for the environment. 

Many of our new fans may be wondering...what is this whole diaper party thing?  Well, let me tell you, this is how eLeMeNO-Pee got started!  Our sweet little company began with 5 reps in Lake Charles, Lafayette, & Baton Rouge.  They would schedule a time to come to your house, show you a few of the cloth diapers available on the market and what we sell and then help you choose the system that works best for you.  

When I was pregnant with my first child, I felt intimidated when I saw seasoned moms lugging around large diaper bags that could have easily passed for suitcases. Do I really need that much equipment to go in public with my child? Just the thought of packing all of that mysterious “stuff” was enough to convince me that we would never leave the house once our baby was born.
