Safe meds disposal

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 5, 2020 - 2:23pm

The Bluffton Police Department lobby on the town hall’s second floor provides residents with a safe medication disposal box. With a new year just a month old, it’s a good time to remind viewers of the service.

Lowdown on cloth diapers… they’ve come a long way

A mother's musing
Posted by LizGH on February 5, 2020 - 2:00pm

By Liz Gordon-Hancock
Bambino Mio, GroVia, Fill Your Pants, bumgenius, AppleCheeks, and Rumparooz - these are all brands of cloth diapers.

Cloth diapers have had a total revamp. I'm not talking about the big terrycloth squares that you perform a type of origami on, and then use giant safety pins to secure around your baby.

Cloth diapers nowadays come in dozens of different types, materials, shapes and colors: all-in-one, prefolds, envelope-style, pocket diaper with inserts, and choice of snaps or velcro closures and so on.
