Cloth Diapering 101
STOP all the researching! When it comes to cloth diapers, there is too much information out there, and it is overwhelming! Why waste your time on the computer when you can come by, sit for a workshop, get all your questions answered and learn things you hadn't even thought to ask all along. Best part of it all, you get to touch the cloth diapers along with accessories such as doublers, inserts, wet bags, pail liners, stay-dry liners, snappi's, etc... and play with them all.
What about the smell?
Do I really have to soak them?
How much longer will it take for me to change my little one?
What about the washing?
How many do I need to start with?
These questions and more will be answered. This is taught right before our Baby Wearing Workshop. Only $10 for both!
Baby Wearing 101
Whether you're an expecting parent or already have a little one, this class is for you. We will be discussing different types of carriers such as pouches, ring slings, Mei Tei's and stretchy wraps, pros and cons of each, as well as demonstrating and helping to properly size you in the most comfortable carrier for your and your little one.
With the proper fitting, babies can be carried for several years. You can try on all of our demos to see what works best with you and your baby, bring your own carriers and learn how to wear them "properly" for the correct positioning of your little one, and learn what baby carriers are the best for newborns vs. older babies.
We'll also discuss which carriers may cause some concerns when it comes to placement of the babies hips, legs, spine and neck.
There are more out there than the ones you just see at the big box stores, and we will discuss why we don't carry specific types.
- This will be offered right after Cloth Diapering 101. Only $10 for both!

Raising Healthier Children with Nathalie Cleveland
Raising Healthier Children –
How Everyday Toxins Affect the Health of our Family
What if some of the items you use on a daily basis could actually affect your health and the health of your children? What if your child is being exposed to ordinary items that may increase their risk of developing cancer, heart disease, thyroid disease, autism, asthma, allergies, or ADHD? We all know nutrition is critical to promoting health but what if the lotion you use, the clothes your children wear, the plate you use, the food you eat, the water you drink, or the toy your child loves could actually be harmful to your family’s health?
Today's Reality:
Why are we hearing about a rise in childhood cancer, diabetes, autism, and asthma? Autism is up 78% since 2007 according to the CDC. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15. More than 1,400 Americans die from cancer every single day. Has something changed from previous generations?
Protecting your family is the desire of every parent, but what if the rise in childhood illnesses and certain cancers is partly a result of the environment to which we are exposed or the choices we make in products & food we eat.
Why This Class:
As a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Children's Hospital, I see so many children suffer from certain cancers and diseases. It became my passion to learn all I could about the connection between our environment and our health.
As a mom, I want to help other moms recognize potential toxins your children are exposed to on a daily basis and simple practical solutions to protect your family.
What You'll Learn:
Our environment really can affect every aspect of our health, especially the most vulnerable and precious in our family– our children.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this class:
- How environmental exposures can affect your family’s health and contribute to disease.
- The latest research showing the connection between our environment and our health.
- Learn how to identify and avoid everyday toxins.
- Discover healthier products that are simple and readily available.
- Tips to reduce exposure to known environmental toxins and protect your family.
