15 Ways to Use a Swaddle Blanket

15 Ways to Use a Swaddle Blanket

The Multi-Tool of Parenting If I were to choose one must-have baby item, I think I would choose a swaddle blanket. I’m still loving swaddle blankets. They are like the swiss army knife of parenting tools- and my youngest child just turned 11. There is something about that beautiful woven fabric. Stella, my youngest, loved to be swaddled – constantly. I used to jest that it was because of the egg rolls and burritos I craved while I was pregnant.  My current obsession is our Genius series Swaddle Blankets.  These are MY colors.  I can never quite decide which one

Flip: the Ultimate Travel Diaper

Flip cloth diaper cover: The Ultimate Travel Diaper

As I was preparing for my first airplane trip with my 2 littles, I consulted many of the moms and dads in the office for their best travel tips. Bekah, our product designer, offered one of the best stories I can’t believe I’ve never heard: the story of how Flip diapers came to be. I was lamenting that I planned to use disposables for a weeklong trip to Hawaii. For past vacations, we drove and had access to laundry. Since we are literally going to paradise, I am not going to spend time worrying about laundry. But, this is our

The Story of Oops… and Oopsie!
March 20, 2019 10:08 pm | by
Behind the scenes: The story of our color "Oops" and "Oopsie!"

With a name like Oops, there must be a story! Did you know, the color “Oops” was purely chance? Fabric suppliers generate colors by code, but on one fateful run years ago, the code – we think for Blossom – was inverted. Just like that, Oops happened. Never wanting to waste, we decided to embrace the surprise. When we realized we didn’t have tabs that would match the PUL, our design team began proposing fun tab and snap combinations for our little Oops. We’d considered Grasshopper for one tab, Mirror for the other, with mixed up snaps, then someone pointed

My Journey with Cloth Diapers
March 20, 2019 8:00 am | by
My journey with cloth diapers. From 23 years ago until now. #clothdiapers

My Intro to Cloth Diapers: Not Just Prefolds & Plastic Pants Anymore I have been around cloth diapers my entire life. As a child, my mother used cloth diapers on me. Can you picture it- prefolds and pins and plastic pants? I always wanted a big family, but diapers are so expensive! When I was a young adult, a friend was diapering her new baby and was using prefold diapers and diaper covers. This was a far cry from the plastic pants of my youth. Having no younger siblings, my only experience with diapers was with babysitting. All of the

Ditch the Disposables for Reusable Options
March 18, 2019 9:18 pm | by
Make the switch! Try swapping out some disposable items for reusable options. Save money and prevent waste.

Apparently, it’s almost spring. It’s pretty hard to tell that here in St. Louis where we’ve had snow in the forecast just a few weeks ago. The countdown to  Easter has begun, which I consider the unofficial start of spring. Lent is also a season in which some people choose to give up something or abstain from activities, like skipping decadent desserts and watching trash tv. I’ve seen a lot of buzz online about people ditching one-time use items this Lent. Swapping plastic straws for stainless steel, paper napkins for cloth, plastic cutlery for silverware, plastic bags for canvas totes,
