In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly important, the Howard Family has stepped up to the challenge with their environmentally conscious approach to parenting. Read about their cloth diapering journey as they’ve partnered with Green Diaper Babies.

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY!

We’re originally from Indianapolis, raising our two littles born in Chicago! Our youngest and Green Diaper Baby is Mattias, then there’s big sister & preschooler, Evelyn, and parents Lonald and Kaijah. We work in construction technology and recruiting and the kids focus on play and exploration.

TELL US ABOUT THE LITTLE ONE WHO’S WEARING CLOTH DIAPERS!    

Mattias was born in February 2022, a cold wintery week with lots of snowfall. We brought home a calm, sleepy babe, immediately enamored with his big sister and adored by all of us! Now, he’s a walking, babbling, dancing, high-fiving hug machine, and still pretty calm.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT BEING A PART OF THE GREEN DIAPER BABIES FAMILY?

The convenience and customer service of Green Diaper Babies has been so helpful for our family. We’ve also noticed the difference in our diaper waste compared to our first child.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITIES TO DO AS A FAMILY AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR COMMUNITY?

We love to read books together, spend time at the playground, listen to music and dance, try new desserts especially at restaurants, and visiting with friends.

 

Doesn’t their description of bringing Mattias home sound so dreamy? Especially when the second sibling usually has such a reputation for being the crazy one…

Thank you, Howard Family, for giving us a window into your family’s cloth diapering journey!
