General Interests:   I didn’t set out to be a crunchy mama, but somehow I have become one. I suppose the first hint was that I wanted a midwife and an out-of-hospital delivery for the birth of my first kid. From there, I guess things snowballed. I am now a full time, stay-at-home mom of two little ones and the owner of Wai Baby, an online store featuring natural gear for the mindful family.

Fleurville, a company "focused on creating compelling solutions for modern parents" and based in Northern California, has just come out with a new diaper bag made from Re-Run fabric made from plastic bottles.

So how does the Re-Run measure up?  More...
