Partial flat stash - the rest is either on the bum or on the line
If you are reading this post it means that I survived day one of the challenge!

Flats and Handwashing Challenge - Day 1

A rocking a receiving blanket flat as part of the 2013 Flats & Handwashing Challenge

I'm guessing that would be most people's response when they hear that for the next 7 days I will be using only flat cloth diapers (eg terry squares) with covers and even worse HANDwashing them. Yes, you heard that right. No washing machine allowed. 

Why in heavens name would I want to do this? And of my own free will nonetheless?
