On Wednesday 13 May 2020 I was the guest speaker at author Jen Gale’s online Sustainable(ish) Festival on the topic: ‘A beginner’s guide to reusable nappies’. I was honoured to be given the platform to help guide beginner’s (and some dab hands too) in their cloth nappy journeys - thank you to every single person who watched. In lockdown, there has been unprecedented interest in real nappies. It warms my heart completely.

I’m assuming you’re here because you heard me talk - if you didn’t, why not watch it on playback here?

a secret to share

If you listened all the way to the end of my Sustainable(ish) Festival talk - thank you! If you didn’t, you missed out on a little secret I shared. (Lean in and I’ll whisper it to you now.) I’ve written a book. You can probably guess what I’ve chosen to write about.

If you sign up to my Little Postcards mailing, follow my Instagram @LauraTweedale and Twitter @LauraTweedaleUK, I’ll be sure to tell you any good news first. And my, aren’t we in need of some good news right now.

Thank you so much for listening, reading, questioning and sharing. I wish you such joy on your cloth nappy journey. Do leave me a comment below, and reach out if you have any questions. I read each and every message.

Buy me a coffee

If you have enjoyed and found value here, you can support my work by buying me a coffee. Mine’s always a decaff. And I promise I’ll compost the coffee grounds.
