Great Cloth Diaper Change 2014!







Once again greenberries hosted The Great Cloth Diaper Change, Guinness Book of World Record breaking event! This year we had a tremendous turnout and officially changed 80 diapers at our location.

Last year, on Saturday April 20, 2013, participants set a new Guinness World Record of 8,301 babies changed into cloth diapers at one time! 182 qualifying locations in 15 countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Chile, Germany, Spain, Finland, Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, & United States!

 April 26, 2014 at 11:00 am is the official date and time that we did this event all over again, in hopes that we will break the current world record. No official results have come back for Guinness Book, but we have gotten word from the event’s organizers that the record has been broken!

Getting to know us: Meet Lisa!

As greenberries grows, we've added more people into our greenberries staff, and we'd love for you to get to know them! Over the next weeks we'll introduce some of the new faces you may have seen in the store or while we're out in our community. Pop by and say hi when you see us, we love to chat with you.


"Hi, I'm Lisa! I'm an Army wife and a mom to two girls. I'm a proud nerd, both in the traditional sense and about parenting topics! I first came to greenberries for help with my very first woven wrap and was soon hooked on the store! I love being able to help other mamas on their path, whatever that may be. I'm especially passionate about Autism Awareness, babywearing, and car seats."
