After much research and debate we have decided to offer cover rentals to our customers. For .50 per cover per week you can rent your covers versus buying every style. This works in quite a few ways. Some customers voiced they would love to rent the smaller sizes and then invest in the larger ones, yet other customers voiced they would like to rent all sizes. Whichever way works for your pocketbook we hope this helps everyone have a greater success with cloth diapers.
Note- Covers are still washed by the customers in their home as with regular service.
Please email if you have questions!
Enjoy our new snow!

We are happy to be currently servicing most of Oakland County and parts of Macomb. We are slowly picking up back to normal service but we are moving slower to make sure that we are only able to offer our top notch customer service. In our opinion we would rather discontinue the service then to offer poor service. I hope this helps our customers or future customers to understand why we had to limit the areas.
We will be willing to move back into outer lying areas such as the rest of Macomb County, rural Oakland County and Wayne County once we have five or more clients in a general area (does not have to be the same city but needs to be on an accessible route- such as off the same expressway etc) so that we are not doing trips that are not cost effective.
Please email us if you would like to be added to a wait list. We will be happy to keep you apprised of the status of it so that if your due date nears you know the status of your service.
I do want to take a minute and thank all the mothers and fathers that have emailed us to wish us well and offer us support. You are all appreciated more than you know and We will forever remember those kind gestures.
Thanks All! I hope are all off to a great new year!
P.s. We didn’t have enough Charities submit requests or answer our requests to do twelve but if you know of any that would love to be listed we would love to post them! We want in this economy to get the charities in need everything we can. Thank you!

We are posting these as they are found or submitted so they may not be consistently day by day.
Please donate any furniture or appliances you are not using that are in working order to the Furniture Resource Center in Pontiac, Michigan. They were recently spotlighted in the Oakland Press as they are in desperate need of donations.
They will pick up as long as the furniture and appliances are usable/working condition. Oakland County Only for pick up’s and clients.
FURNITURE RESOURCE CENTER
333 North Perry
Pontiac, MI 48342

OFFICE HOURS:
Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
EMERGENCY SERVICES: Priority access to most needed items.
Please remember that what one person considered useless because it’s scratched or has missing handles can be a blessing to a family in need. The article in the paper mentioned that the families they help are families getting their children back from foster care, after fires and other emergencies and low income families in need. Help a family get a great start in life! Giving always makes you feel better about yourself, at least it does me!

We are so sorry to report that we currently cannot take on any clients in Wayne county and are limiting those in the outlying areas of Oakland and Macomb.
We are unfortunately dealing with an on going health issue and we would rather limit our customer base than provide anything less than the best to our clients.
Please email us with any questions and we hope to resume normal service sometime next year when things improve.

Most people think of plastic or vinyl pants when they think of cloth diapers but it is not the case anymore. Both cloth diapers and cloth diaper covers have come a long way.
Blueberry Minky Wrap
When using a diaper service you would want to have minimum 4-6 covers for a modest amount and upwards of 6-12 for a generous amount. Covers are reused until they are soiled or begin to stink. So what most families do is buy a moderate amount before baby is born and then have money set aside for more if they are needed. That way you aren’t wasting money.
What we personally did was buy some “operational” covers such as Bummis or Swaddlebees and then supplemented with the more expensive covers. Bummis covers run around $11.50-12.50 depending on which one and Swaddlebees are $15.95. Blueberry has a one size cover that is PUL (Laminated polyester) that is $18.95 and comes in solids and prints and they offer Minky covers like the one picture which runs at $21.97.
So you can use a variety of covers to save money but still keep that great style. The various brands come in solids and prints and in various fabrics.
Email us if you have any questions! We are always here to help!

I am in training for my certification for both types and if you allow me to help you during your labor or birth it is free and helps me get my certification.
I have attended a hospital natural birth for my certification however I have to have 5 total and they only want 3 hospital births total and at least one has to be a c-section. I have delivered six of my own children and been helpers at many family and friends however it was before my training. I also need to assist two more families postpartum for five hours each for my postpartum certification.
Email me today for more information if you are interested. Then we can talk more and see if you would be comfortable working with me. It is very important to not only consider price or lack there of but make sure our personalities are going to mesh well because during that stressful time the last thing you need is to feel uncomfortable.
Thank you!

We deliver in reusable pail liners.
We deliver your clean diapers each week in a reusale pul pail liner. These are water proof, sealable, and reusable. Also, come in great colors and prints.
Fits on Most 13 Gallon Pails
We use Blueberry pail liners, these fit perfectly in most 13 Gallon pails and can also hang from a doorknob. On Delivery day- just unpack the clean diapers from your clean pail liner and put your pail liner in the diaper pail.
Seals up for Pick up days!
Then on Delivery day just pull the bag out and close it. Place it on your porch by 10am for pick up. That’s it! Its easy as pie and saves the landfill from all those plastic bags that other services use.
