[jason&jilliansmama]

Who's out there?! I'm in Moose Jaw!

[1boy1girl1bitty2]

there is also a saskatoon mama and a humboldt mama and there was a regina mama at one time too

[LindusandGrace]

hi I'm strill in alberta but we are moving to my hubby's hometown next month! Soon to be Estevan momma here! :wave:

[1boy1girl1bitty2]

hey cool! i'm 40 minutes across the pipeline from estevan i frequent their walmart cause it is bigger and better than ours, and one of my bridesmaids just is moving there. her bf is the manager of the new peaveymart

[nocturnalmama]

Hi there... I'm in Regina! :) My dad worked in Estevan last summer and we stayed a few weekends in his motorhome... we also went to Walmart there - its a nice Walmart really!! (as nice as Walmart can be I guess...). We'll be doing the same next summer too...

Robin

[1boy1girl1bitty2]

regina has micheals! i would trade walmart and a dozen other useless stores for micheals! not to mention there are two of the best ap and crafty stores right beside each other on 13th!

wow theres more of us than i thought

[LindusandGrace]

nice to know there's other people who go there. i'm soooo sad about leaving my city i'm in now. we have 2 micheals and 3 walmarts! LOL.
Well sask ladies we should all arrange some sort of playdate in the summer for all the kids!

[1boy1girl1bitty2]

i don't know about estevan but weyburn has a nonprofit organization that has facilities for a group meet up. its called the family place and it a playgroup sort of thing. regina has a ymca thing i think but am not sure

next time i see estevans mayor i'll have to ask what they have there. (the mayor is DH's uncle)

Hahaha... my dad worked for City Hall, they probably know each other fairly well, lol. What a small world isnt it? Bizarre...

Estevan has a FANTABULOUS indoor water park with waterslides and a totally awesome kiddie pool! Regina has loads of fun places to meet up... not sure about Saskatoon...

I am not a big Michaels fan though... I spend too much money every time I go there... :giggle:

The store on 13th... Groovy Mama, one of my good friends owns that store and we do these awesome "get the poop on cloth diapering" workshops together where we educate parents about cloth diapers... its loads of fun!! (you can read about it in my blog http://tushclothdiapers.ca/blog). The other store... Golden Willow is heaven on earth... the most amazing fibre store and the owner Sharon is sooo super nice. We are lucky to have those two stores here and I would gladly trade all the walmarts in the world to keep those stores around forever!!

Robin

[nocturnalmama]

I should add 1boy1girl1bittytoo that our children are almost exactly the same ages...

mine are 05/18/02 06/12/05 and 11/05/07 :)

Robin

[1boy1girl1bitty2]

wow they are close!! i wish groovy mama was around when i had dd. just found golden willow recently though and i am jonesen for a crafty regina trip. i wish groovy mama carried a bigger selection of cd s hello baby was thinking about getting them in but i havn't been back to check. cravings in saskatoon has or had a nice selection at one time

we'll have to get together when you are in estevan

[nocturnalmama]

She has a good selection of CDs now! :)

[1boy1girl1bitty2]

all she had was a canadian made fitted brand. are there other brands types now? that could sway my decision to go to regina or not on friday

[CarrieMF]

I grew up in Saskatchewan - Kelvington(east central area). I live in Alberta now, but am only 2.5 blocks from Saskatchewan. We're selling our place sometime in the next year & will be moving to the SK side.

[nocturnalmama]

Bamboozles and Bum Genius... we have another CD retailer here who works from her home and has Motherease products and of course I have a bit of stuff left too (I'm selling all my retail and letting the pros take over that market...lol). No shortage of places to buy CD's here in Regina - we like to have the bases covered. :)

Robin

[ckck]

Regina mom!

[ange]

I'm in Saskatoon. :)

[mikeybro1]

Hey cool! I'm in Prince Albert...I swear I am the only person here who cloth diapers too :lol: I wish I could find more people here so I could sell them my diapers and save the shipping LOL!

Lisa

[katesmash]

Regina mom here! Big thanks to Ckck and Tayseth for getting me on here!

[babycatcher33]

Another SK mama here - in Unity! I'm about two hours west of Saskatoon.

Janice

[jlepitzki]

:giggle:

[ALovelyStart]

I'm way out in the boonies - I live in Goodsoil. We're in between Meadow Lake in SK and Cold Lake in AB. There are only 350 people in the town! And *nobody* babywears or CD's out here. I have to order online or drive four hours to Saskatoon or Edmonton to get anything!

I'm in Alberta now but I grew up in Pierceland! Next door neighbour!

[jlepitzki]

Nice to 'meet' you!

[babydirtybike]

I'm in Regina.

We cd and bw. Sometimes I feel like a freak and then I see someone else bwing or changing a cloth diapers, and I do an internal *hooray* that I am not alone :)

Heya! I commented in another thread about this... but do remember having a conversation with someone nursing a newborn at the craft show in Regina? That was me!!!

Are you on the Regina Moms forum?? PM me if not, there are MANY MANY CD/baby wearing mamas there!

Speaking of baby wearing - every time I wear DD I get so much attention - its always positive but people always act like they've NEVER seen anything like it before! We dont own a bucket seat - so I wear dd everywhere... the older generation just LOVE it !

Robin

[lovemylillybean]

I am originally from Saskatoon though I live in the states with my husband who I met here. I do come back quite often to see family and friends.

[jason&jilliansmama]

Okay, so refresh me, where are the cd stores in Regina and what do they carry????

[nocturnalmama]

Groovy Mama on 13th Ave - she carries Bum Genius, Bamboozles, Gabby's, Prefolds, Bummis... and Hydrox 2 the most amazing laundry soap EVER!

There is also Kim who runs Clothology out of her home - she'll be at the baby expo this weekend (the 6th I believe). She has Motherease and Green Acre Designs.... and some other stuff, but I'm not entirely sure what! She also crochets some pretty amazing stuff (Essential Elements on HC).

Have fun!!!

Robin

[jason&jilliansmama]

And how do their prices compare to the online prices?

[NMW]

I'll be a Regina mom in just over two weeks. Leaving greater Vancouver. Looking forward to checking out those brick and mortar stores. I've only ever spent 1 1/2 days there (house shopping) and I do remember driving by Groovy Mama.

[kmoss]

I am a Saskatoon mom. Just a newby, he's only 5 weeks old!!

Hey, I just checked back to this thread now :blush:
I totally remember you! There was another lady there from LLL that had a black ring sling on and I had DS in the Babyhawk.

That is too funny.

I am not on the Regina Moms forum. I am off to pm you about it :)

[katesmash]

Another SK mama here - in Unity! I'm about two hours west of Saskatoon.
Janice
I ♥ Unity... it gave us one of my favorite hockey players, who I got to grow up with in Regina, going to elementary school, BOYD GORDON!!! :giggle2:


Hi Regina moms! :wave2:

Hi there... I'm in Regina! :) My dad worked in Estevan last summer and we stayed a few weekends in his motorhome... we also went to Walmart there - its a nice Walmart really!! (as nice as Walmart can be I guess...). We'll be doing the same next summer too...

Robin
Robin, are you on the Regina Moms site as "Robin" :mrgreen: I think I talked to you just before your latest LO was born!

Regina mom!
Cheryl, when are we going to get our DD's together for a play date?


I'm in Regina.
We cd and bw. Sometimes I feel like a freak and then I see someone else bwing or changing a cloth diapers, and I do an internal *hooray* that I am not alone :)
There are more Regina moms than I thought that baby wear... maybe I'll have to check it out for our next LO. All I own is a Snuggli, and I loved it when DD was little but not so much now that she's bigger and heavier :lostit:

Are you enjoying Regina?

[shinzblb]

Hi to all the Saskatchewan cloth diaper Moms! I too CD and have my own online boutique as well that specializes in modern cloth diapers. I see some familiar names on here and have not been regularly posting so I just wanted to say hello to all of you in this group!

[bttrflysam]

Hi everyone, Iam a Regina mom2b who plans on cloth diapering!! I have built a "little" stash so far and have become addicted. Nice to see other SK mom's who cd. So far all my friends and family think I am crazy and that I won't last.

Robin ... i was at the cd seminar on the 18th ... very informative and i LOVED your baby hawk carrier and now really really want one .. lol

[nocturnalmama]

Robin ... i was at the cd seminar on the 18th ... very informative and i LOVED your baby hawk carrier and now really really want one .. lol

cool!!! i'm glad you liked the seminar, they are so much fun to do!! good to see you here too - the "source" of many cloth diapering addictions...

i couldnt live without my babyhawk(s).... :giggle:

[clothology]

There was another lady there from LLL that had a black ring sling on and I had DS in the Babyhawk.


haha I would be that other lady. I finally have wondered over here to say hello!

[nocturnalmama]

Robin, are you on the Regina Moms site as "Robin" :mrgreen: I think I talked to you just before your latest LO was born!





I was! I am "nocturnal mama" on there now.... when did we talk?

[katesmash]

Just caught this post ~ another Regina mom here! :lostit:

[LindusandGrace]

Hey Sk ladies hiow's everyone enjoying the summer? i so did not realize how hot it is in estevan! OMG and dry. :yuck:

[peytons mommy]

Me! Me! Me! I 'm down south. We've only been here for a year now, we came from the 'burbs of Vancouver. I'm happy I found DS cause the only people I know that are pro cloth are my mom, step mom, and a best friend (she convinced me to try cloth) and she doesn't even have or ever plan to have kids! Everyone else thinks I'm off my rocker.

[blondiegreen]

Count me in! I'm in Melfort. Just moved here two months ago from BC, but LOVE it!!

[babydirtybike]

I should post for the bwing or what to try bwing moms that I have:

SBP slingified cotton didymos ring sling
Babyhawk xt mei tai
Toddlerhawk mei tai
Kozy mei tai
Freehand mei tai
Vintage cord snuggli (when they didn't suck)
SBP twill ring sling
Hotsling fleece size 5 (l-xl)
Sling tai dx by Magic slings
Girasol woven wrap 4.2m
Didymos Linen wrap 3.8 or 4.2 I can't remember
Moby stretch wrap

In case you want to ever try something before you buy it. My stash is always rotating so let me know if you want to figure out how something works in person. I am babydirtybike on here, ebay, thebabywearer, and reginamoms.

Later :goodvibes:

[NorthernMama]

I'm a soon-to-be cloth diapering mom in La Ronge! I anticipate being the only BWing & CDing mom in town - they all already think I'm a weirdo, though b/c I've been driving my scooter (2002 Yamaha Vino) around town for years.

I'm originally a farm girl from Star City (moved from there to here when I was 10) and hubby is from Luseland (near Unity). Good to see other SK parents on here :)

[prairie_girl]

Hi everyone! I am new to cding (my son is 13mths) and I am north of Yorkton! Anyone have any advice on good brands for diapers in Canada? I have applecheeks and love em but would like to try some different ones!

[jayjax]

I haven't been here in a while and didn't see this before.

I am from the Regina area too. Dog River/Corner Gas.

I never realized so many people cd here.

[Green Grrrl]

Looks like lots of Regina moms. Cool. :) I'm a Saskatoon mom. I'm a dog trainer, handler, and photographer... and a crafty mom to boot. LOL I make diaper inserts that fit inside G-diapers (and I use them in my super brites too), rag quilts, baby necklaces (that are stretchy), and ring slings. I like sewing, and baby stuff is just sooo much fun to do. LOL

My wee one (I've only got one "skin kid") is Lily-Ann. She'll be sixteen months in five days. She's the light of my life, and my inspiration in so many things. She really is my whole world. I tell her that she's "awesomerific" - which is soooo much better than just being awesome or terrific. LOL

[blondiegreen]

Is there a brick and mortar store for CDs in Saskatoon or Prince Albert??

[Green Grrrl]

In Saskatoon both "A Softer Landing" and "Cravings" carry cloth diapers. Neither has a huge selection - but at least it's something.

[robynpit]

Hello,
I'm in Regina as well
I have a 20 month old rascal

Robyn

[SJH]

I am close to Saskatoon. Online I say I am from Saskatoon even though I am really an hour west of saskatoon.

[RockStarBabies]

Hay
An other Saskatoon mom here. I have 2 boys: 3 and 11 months.

And I'm starting to clear my diaper stash. NB stuff first.

[mdlee]

Hi! I'm brand new here. I'm a Saskatoon mom to a 3 year old and am expecting in June. Melissa

[querie]

For the Dog River mama, do your diapers end up smelling with the yucky water out there. I am going to visit family and I am trying to decide if I should bring my cloth or use sposies.

[jayjax]

I don't notice anything. We don't have a water softener and it still smells clean.

[cjs4kids]

I'm east of Regina!
Any moms happen to be selling their cloth diapers??

[jayjax]

I have some fitteds I am looking to sell, and the covers to go with them. Let me know what size you are interested in.

[querie]

Thank you for letting me know abou the water in Dog River. Now I have to convince my husband to let me use cloth for the trip.

[nikkilaf]

Hi mamas! I'm from Swift Current. It sure is good to know there's other CDing BWing mamas out there. I wish there were more stores to go into to check out CDs though. I've been to Groovy Mama and tried the Gabby's but now am leaning more towards the pockets then the AIOs or fitteds. Anyone know of any Canadian made pockets that are trim fitting and (am I pushing it?) easy to get? Maybe even carried here in SK?

[jessie3315]

Another Regina mommy here :)

[katesmash]

Anyone actually chat in here? Or is it all for us introducing ourselves? :goodvibes:

Regina mom here! (I've already said that earlier in the thread though)

[korine]

saskatoon mama here!

[Baby Jake's Mom]

Saskatoon mama here!!

[JacksonsMom]

I'm in regina and I have family in Estevan. Wow, small world. I'm new here and have just switched my son from disposable to cloth diapers as he pees through everything :P

[JESSMOMY]

I'm from regina sk...

[ZENnegan mama]

Another Regina mommy here :)


Hey Jess, nice to see you here too! :mrgreen:

[lovemyjoeyboy]

I'm in Saskatoon. :)

[chello]

I'm in Estevan, wow there's lots here! I have a couple friends who part time CD or at least are interested with their next baby. Nice to meet everybody!
