I recently came across a post on a forum by someone who was asking for advice for how to make cloth pads for an orphanage in Africa.  Her friend was adopting 2 girls from there and none of the girls had any sanitary supplies.  There were 30 girls, so the gal was going to try [...]

Things have been a little crazy around here lately.  We had to switch my blog over to a new server and there were all sorts of issues with that, so I wasn’t allowed to make any changes or add any new posts to my blog until everything was done, which was last night.
