I also do not soak or do anything special. I keep a wetbag left over from diapering in the bathroom and put my cloth pads in there along with the cloth wipes that we still use. Once a week or at the end of my cycle I wash it all in the...

My mom's family has always used last year's cards to make garland to hang in the living room. Just take the pretty part of the cards, cut them into strips, and staple them into loops to hang as a garland decoration. We loved doing this...
