Hello! Welcome to Abby's Lane, a unique boutique offering products to make your parenting experience enjoyable and a little closer to nature. I am Stephanie, owner and founder of Abby's Lane, which opened in September of 2004, we are currently located in Northern Virginia. After 6.5 years of being a boutique online-only, we are excited to be in our storefront location in Manassas, Virginia. By supporting Abby's Lane, you support a team of 12 women who are able to work flexible schedules, some work from home exclusively, and those who work in the store bring their children to work with them. If you visit us, be prepared to see the person walking you through our store nursing with a baby sling on, or wiping their toddler's hands after a snack in the kitchen :)

Our cloth diaper journey began with Abby in 2003, Camille, Lucy and Sebastian have been cloth diapered from birth. I was a reluctant participant at first, I believed the myth that cloth diapering is messy, messy, and...well...messy! I assure you that is entirely false! Cloth diapering has been the most wonderful experience, and if my husband is an advocate, anyone can do it! The products I carry at Abby's Lane are carefully chosen to make your cloth diapering experience an easy and enjoyable one.

Meet our Lovely Staff:

Jenn is the face you will see every week day!

Busy, busy, busy mom to 5, Jenn has been using cloth diapers with her three youngest. When she isn't at the store working as our manager, she is spending time with her kiddos or exercising. She loves spending time with her extended family, but if you ask her she may admit she would rather be at Disney ;)

Jenni is a stay-at-home mom of 2 girls, born 8/09 and 11/10, both of whom have been cloth diapered since birth.

She enjoys knitting, Battlestar Galactica, and Trader Joe's Mini Peanut Butter Sandwiches. Jenni is also certified by Babywearing International as a Volunteer Babywearing Educator (VBE) - ask any questions you have about baby carriers or cloth diapers and she'll be happy to help you out!

Elizabeth is a cloth diapering, baby wearing, extended breastfeeding, homeschooling mother of three.

As the founder of GEN-Y diapers and certified fluff addict she enjoys product design, fabric purchasing, marketing, working with the American manufacturing industry, social networking and (of course) product testing. In her spare time she enjoys writing, reading, gardening, baking, horseback riding, dog training, reptile husbandry, strategy war games, computer games, and remains active in both local and global charitable causes. She also enjoys coffee; lots and lots of coffee.

Allison (and her little man Dominic) is a reading specialist by day, fluff addict the rest of the time :) Her high energy levels and attention to detail means you will get the best of advice in the store, and she is also quickly becoming a babywearing expert!

Melanie is an import from the west coast of Canada, moved countries for love.

Wife to Tim, momma to Paxton and stepmom to Reagan, being a mom is her favourite thing. Former preschool teacher, always dreamed of being a breastfeeding, stay at home, cloth diapering, baby wearing mom and now has her dream. Loves working part time at Abby's Lane with Paxton in tow. Enjoys knitting, reading, gardening and yoga. Thinks one of the best parts of working at Abby's Lane is being able to meet so many local parents!

Nicole is the stay-at-home mom of a preschooler and a toddler.

In her former life, she was a writing teacher, waitress, book store employee and really fun gal. She is currently an avid reader, wannabe writer, cloth diaper enthusiast, better-than-average cook and proud La Leche League leader. She is happy to live and work in Manassas and will answer any questions you have about breastfeeding, the farmer's market, the Civil < War and where to get some really great food.
