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

With all this talk about Play, our newest Genius Series print, I’ve been thinking about my favorite baby toys. Oh, what fun! Kleynimals Stainless Steel Toy Keys. More than your average toy keys, these feel and sound like real keys without the sharp edges. In my opinion, an heirloom toy. I’ve even heard of people having them engraved! Tegu Magnetic Blocks. Truly innovative, Tegu Magnetic Blocks are packed with fun. I keep a set in my purse for entertaining my toddler in restaurants. They’re fun for mom and dad to play with, too. Spin Again. Another favorite in my house.
Truly Genius Tuesday has returned! This week, we’re celebrating Sierpinski’s Genius Series birthday! This geometric print, honoring Waclaw Sierpinski, joined our Genius Series on January 27, 2016. What makes Sierpinski so genius? In addition to this fun cloth diaper print, the Sierpinski Triangle (or Tetrahedron) was also named after Waclaw Sierpinski, and that’s not all! His namesakes also include: A street in Warsaw, where he was a professor at the University of Warsaw for over 40 years. The Sierpinski Carpet – a plane fractal, the technique of subdividing a shape into smaller copies of itself, removing one or more copies, and continuing recursively can be extended

Like most T-shirts, I expected this one to shrink a bit. In actuality, it didn’t shrink much at all, which is even better when it comes to children’s clothes. The Genius Series T-shirts match Jackson’s cloth diapers
