As a WAHM myself, I am always on the lookout for awesome products made by other moms. The best eco-friendly, made in the USA products I have found have all come from WAHMs that I found on Hyenacart.com, Etsy.com, and Facebook. That’s why I am starting WAHM Wednesdays on The Cloth Chronicles. Each week, I will be featuring a WAHM's products and business.
Our very first WAHM Wednesday’s featured mama is Cami from CC Bums. She posted a link to her business on the I Heart Fluff Facebook fan page and I was blown away! She makes diapers, mama cloth, teethers, toys, covers, wipes, bibs, wet bags…and I’m sure I’m still missing a few! She even has a layaway option!
Here’s a little more about Cami and CC Bums:
Cami and her family first decided to start cloth diapering to save money. Like many of us ‘newbies’ the only cloth they knew about was Gerber prefolds, pins and plastic pants. A friend then introduced Cami to a site called Diaperswappers.com and she learned there were SO many options that she had no idea about! Soon after, Cami met Michelle, thanks to a flannel Mickey Mouse prefold she had made from an old receiving blanket. This sparked a great friendship, and Michelle introduced her to the world of t-shirt prefolds. This was the beginning of Cami’s upcycling journey.
She started making her own cotton pocket diapers using the RRP (Rita's Rump Pocket) pattern and has now customized the pattern for her own use and to create diapers for others. On May 15, 2009, She opened shop as CC Bums (Cami's Courts Bums)… starting only with diapers, mama cloth and family cloth. She has since added a LOT to her line of products, and constantly gets requests for custom items that she doesn’t currently stock, such as a Tinkerbell fleece dress and velour/cotton terrycloth kitchen towels.
You can find the complete store here on Facebook. There's also a MySpace page with samples and ordering details. You can also visit her blog, Random Thoughts by Cami.
In Cami’s own words,
“I am SO enjoying this business and we now use fleece all in one's and pockets on a daily basis. We are a total cloth diaper family, and we use SO many of the products I make. We are officially… CRUNCHY. :) lol.
I can't wait to see what God has in store for our future with this business. So far it has only been amazing. You can always contact me directly for anything too… I'm more than willing to help in any way I can to stretch your dollar and create a better lifestyle for you and the earth.”
