FUNDED!!!
Wow!!! Does it seem real to you?? I'M VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT "THE DIRTIES ON DIAPERING" HAS REACHED FUNDING GOAL!! That means in only days I will begin my journey, gathering all of the information and photos I can to compile into a full color photo journalism book on why cloth diapering is so very important for everyone! I will be going to see landfills, hospitals, labs, moms, & more! I will also be utilizing my studio to help show many different types of diapers and how to use them, wash them, travel with them, & more!
I want to throw out a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been supporting me the entire way! Everyone from Round 1 to Round 3, from $1 to $1000. Every bit adds up!! I even had many amazing people who helped me spread the word about this project that were unable to pledge -- but I know that many of those pledges were because of those amazing people that helped share what The Dirties on Diapering is all about! So THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU THANK YOU! I can't say it enough!!
Cloth Diaper Companies! Many of you have suddenly become more interested in my project now that you know it's going to happen! I am so excited about cloth diapers, and as you know, that's what this project is all about! Many companies are asking about sending diapers to be in the book. Most of the content inside this book will be based on journalism -- so the diapers that appear in much of the content of this book will be whatever happens to be there when I go out to gather information & shoot photos. There will of course be sections where I will show different types of diapers and how to use them, wash them, etc... but I feel because this book was launched because of amazing sponsors and supporters, if a sponsor's diaper is able to show the information I am trying to share I will choose their diaper first. That doesn't mean I won't show diapers from non-sponsor companies, it just means I'm not doing any deals/promises beyond what I have written in the rewards section of my Kickstarter page. That being said, there are sponsor levels from $1 and up -- you can read them all along the right side of this webpage: http://kck.st/hvm3LT ...and funding will still continue for the next couple of days. And green companies of all kinds might be interested in looking so they can be a part of the book's amazing company directory!
THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE! I will continue to answer questions and post blogs! In fact, this is the blog to follow to keep updated on my progress with the project the whole way!

Cloth Diaper Goodness
GOODNESS: –noun 1. the state or quality of being good. 2. moral excellence; virtue. 3. kindly feeling; kindness; generosity. 4. excellence of quality: goodness of workmanship. 5. the best part of anything; essence; strength. 6. a euphemism for god: Thank goodness!
With just over a month left to fund my photo journalism book project, to help spread the word that cloth diapers are best -- I'd like to take a moment to recognize some other great missions out there also trying to spread the love. I would love to see these great projects also be in the pages of my book, so that after reading and SEEing why cloth is best, parents will see even more ways to help!
1. Change 3 Things: Change 3 Things, created by Cotton Babies, is on a mission to help parents commit to changing at least three cloth diapers each day. The idea is to help parents see that cloth diapers are so much easier than they seem, and to maybe help parents realize not only how much money they can save but the impact they will have! Even parents with kids in daycare can change just 3 cloth diapers each day -- one or two in the evening, wear one overnight, and another in the morning! Easy as pie! http://www.change3things.com/
2. The Great Cloth Diaper Change: Coming the April 23, 2011 cloth diaper moms and dads across the nation will be changing their cloth diapers at the same time in order to put cloth diapering in the Guinness Book of World Records! Not only will the event be the first of its kind in the big book, but it will create lots of media attention everywhere! I love it!! Find out how you can participate at a location near you (or even organize your own group!) at: http://greatclothdiaperchange.com/
3. The Cloth Diaper Foundation, Inc.: This non profit organization is amazing! Many parents who would love to cloth diaper to save money simply don't because they can't figure out how to manage the upfront cost. The Cloth Diaper Foundation is dedicated to lending out enough cloth diapers to get any qualifying low income family started for as long as they need them! Wow! To learn more, to donate, or to apply, visit http://www.clothdiaperfoundation.org/
4. Real Diaper Association: The Real Diaper Association is a non profit organization dedicated to educating parents about cloth diapering! The organization helps cloth diapering parents and advocates create circles in their area to help promote cloth diapering, and provide gear and learning materials to do so! I am a proud member of this organization! Visit them and become a member today at http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/
5. Cloth Diapers in Hospitals: This is a group of cloth diaper advocates excited to see more hospitals and parents choose to cloth diaper while at the hospital. They are working with the RDA and trying to raise money with apparel in order to help promote the cause! Not only would it have an amazing impact if hospitals chose to cloth diaper, but parents would be more aware of the choice from the beginning! Visit their blog at http://clothdiapersinhospitals.blogspot.com/
6. Cloth for the Coast: Created by Fuzzibunz, this great program takes your donated used cloth diapers, baby blankets, towels, and burp cloths and is using them for wildlife rescue and oil spill clean ups in both the USA and abroad. Who knew you could recycle using cloth then clean up an oil spill!? Amazing! Visit them at http://www.communityforthecoast.org/
I know there are so many more! So please make sure you leave your favorite cloth diaper missions in the comments below and read them too!
If you would like to support my mission to bring information to parents everywhere through a book of photo journalism and information, please make a pledge of even just $1 here: http://kck.st/hvm3LT

With just over a month left to fund my photo journalism book project, to help spread the word that cloth diapers are best -- I'd like to take a moment to recognize some other great missions out there also trying to spread the love. I would love to see these great projects also be in the pages of my book, so that after reading and SEEing why cloth is best, parents will see even more ways to help!
1. Change 3 Things: Change 3 Things, created by Cotton Babies, is on a mission to help parents commit to changing at least three cloth diapers each day. The idea is to help parents see that cloth diapers are so much easier than they seem, and to maybe help parents realize not only how much money they can save but the impact they will have! Even parents with kids in daycare can change just 3 cloth diapers each day -- one or two in the evening, wear one overnight, and another in the morning! Easy as pie! http://www.change3things.com/
2. The Great Cloth Diaper Change: Coming the April 23, 2011 cloth diaper moms and dads across the nation will be changing their cloth diapers at the same time in order to put cloth diapering in the Guinness Book of World Records! Not only will the event be the first of its kind in the big book, but it will create lots of media attention everywhere! I love it!! Find out how you can participate at a location near you (or even organize your own group!) at: http://greatclothdiaperchange.com/
3. The Cloth Diaper Foundation, Inc.: This non profit organization is amazing! Many parents who would love to cloth diaper to save money simply don't because they can't figure out how to manage the upfront cost. The Cloth Diaper Foundation is dedicated to lending out enough cloth diapers to get any qualifying low income family started for as long as they need them! Wow! To learn more, to donate, or to apply, visit http://www.clothdiaperfoundation.org/
4. Real Diaper Association: The Real Diaper Association is a non profit organization dedicated to educating parents about cloth diapering! The organization helps cloth diapering parents and advocates create circles in their area to help promote cloth diapering, and provide gear and learning materials to do so! I am a proud member of this organization! Visit them and become a member today at http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/

Congrats to the winner of giveaway #3 -- chosen by Random.org -- Dezi1986 you are the winner of an Evolution Diaper!!! Please email me your color choice and mailing address to SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com!
Giveaway #4 is coming very soon!!!!
THANK YOU TO MY AMAZING BACKERS!!
It has been an exciting week for The Dirties on Diapering!! We have some exciting new sponsors and MANY new backers!! A special shout out and thanks to Evolution Diapers, Ju-Ju Monkey, Cloth Diapers To Go, Nifty Nappy, and Bitty Bottoms! Also, thank you so much to all of the bloggers who have helped spread the word! I am always amazed by all the great people willing to help! It's YOU who is making this project possible! THANK YOU!!
And of course, as a Thank You, I am doing Backer GiveAways throughout the course of fundraising! Backer GiveAway #3 is for an Evolution ION One Size Diaper!! I am very excited about this company! They have many features on their diaper new to the cloth diaper world!
Here's what excites me about Evolution Diapers:
1. Adjustable Let and Waist Elastic! If One Size wasn't exciting enough, Evolution Diapers has taken it a step farther with adjustable elastic around the legs and waist! Their amazing diaper can take your baby all the way from 5lbs to 40lbs!
2. The Evolution ION uses CoolMax technology to keep your baby cool! The system keeps moisture away from baby's bottoms and helps it stay below in the absorbant hemp&cotton pad below. Also, hemp helps keep bacteria away! Less bacteria & Less moisture on baby = less diaper rash!
3. The CoolMax technology helps the fabric dry faster, using less energy in the dryer or making hanging dry easier! ...which is great for travel!
4. When you use Evolution Diapers, it's like recycling twice! The diaper's material is made of recycled fiber, offsetting the need to use more crude oils! There may even be some recycled water bottles in this diaper!
5. This diaper is easy to use and wash too! These diapers are all one peice, making them go on just like a disposable, using gentle snap closures. They are machine washable and dryable too!
If you are equally excited about Evolution Diapers, head on over to their webpage and check them out: http://www.evolutiondiapers.com/ and try to win one right here on this blog post!

Backer GiveAway #2
*********GIVEAWAY CLOSED***********
The winner of backer giveaway #2, according to Random.org, is Lara+Chis (aka @largirl)! Congrats!!! Please email your mailing address to SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com to claim your prize!
Stay tuned for Backer GiveAway #3 REALLY SOON!!!
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
GroVia's AIO is exciting because of it's super absorbancy and ease of use! It's made of organic cotton, which is my favorite part because cotton is so easy to wash! There is no stuffing with this diaper and no need for a doubler! This diaper is also a one size diaper, so it is made to grow and change with your baby. You can change the snaps on the rise or the waist. There is also a snap in soaker for overnights and heavy wetters -- and the fact that it snaps in assures that it doesn't bunch or move when your baby does! And when your baby is ready for potty training, this diaper acutally works well as a pull up trainer too because of how stretchy the side panel is! I know you can get excited about that! A diaper that last from newborn through potty training!! They have great colors and exciting new prints! Check it out on their webpage: http://gro-via.com/product.php?pID=100421&cID=181
