| About Us |
| Erin Donaldson Stork Savers Owner / Operator |
| I have been cloth diapering for more than 3 years, since Abigail was 2 months or so. She was in sposies for a while off and on while I perfected the pattern for my diapers. It's scary to remember the first couple diapers I made and put on her. She was in cloth until she potty trained at 2.5, even though she started using the potty at age 2! Isabella is in cloth now and always has been. And if I might brag a little bit, she is going on the potty chair now also. I've always read cloth diapered babies potty train quicker than sposie. |
In addition to being a full-time mom to 3 beautiful and high-energy-filled girls and a rambunctious step-son, I am attending Indiana University South Bend pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Communication. I also work part-time at the local newspaper in the IS Department (or computer department). While waiting for computer mishaps to occur so I can come to the rescue, I have many hours available to sew, read, research, and update my website. I also do most of our budgeting, bill paying, menu planning, and daily routine scheduling, and much more in the wee hours of the night at my night-owl job. -Blast from the Past c. 2006 |

| We also use other cloth products instead of paper in our home, as much as possible. We use cloth napkins, wipes, towels and rags to wipe up spills, washcloths for diaper wipes (terry cloth works great on those sticky, stinky messes), I use cloth pads and the girls and I use cloth toilet wipes. My husband thinks I'm nuts, and well I am, but it saves our monthly budget, is so much better for the environment and well, cloth just feels better on your skin than nasty, rough, linty paper ever could. I have not ventured into making cloth hankies yet for all our runny noses, but that's next. |
| In the future I plan to become a certified birth Doula or birth education and possibly open up a B&M (Brick & Mortar ie: "Real") store, Stork Savers Cloth, Crafts, and Consignment. I hope to freelance for natural parenting magazines and continue to promote a natural lifestyle to those around me. I am passsionate about breastfeeding, homebirth and unassisted birth, & cloth diapering (you might have guessed, huh?), as well as selective vaccination, and non-circumcision. In addition to all of that, we live frugally and try to live simply. I hope to one day teach my frugal skills of menu planing, cost cutting, shopping sales, coupons, double coupons, clearances, never paying full price, never using credit cards, pay here, pay here places, renting, or financing as well as many other life skills to high school students and single moms and dads. I also plan to become a foster parent and eventually adopt children that have been abandoned and/or abused. I hope you have learned a little more about the woman behind the sewing machine. Please e-mail me if you enjoyed reading my story, visiting my web site or if you would like to place on order or have any questions regarding the above topics. |

| I currently work full time at an Risk Management Agency (Insurance) in Downtown South Bend as an Executive / Administrative Assistant. I get to put my creative juices out in the business world via letters, brouchures, business cards, and powerpoint presentations. I also handle all the IT issues, scanning of accounting papers, running reports as well as supporting 6 partners and numerous producers and account managers. It doesn't leave much time to sew or play in the dirt, but I do what I can, and stitch when I feel the itch. :) |
