One of my favorite parts of the holidays are the delicious foods, especially the abundance of sweets. I especially like parties that involve sharing foods and gaining new recipes, like cookie swaps. We know with the wild weather last weekend some of you may be stuck indoors, so today we’re hosting a cyber cookie swap party! No need to leave the house to join our party. One of my favorite cookie recipes is one I have been making since I was old enough to stir. With four simple ingredients and easy enough for little hands to help with, it’s a

We’ve shared previously in Cloth Diapers 101 some of the different terms associated with cloth diapers and the types of cloth diapers. But how you do really know what style will work best for you? How do you choose a place to start that will help you be successful in your cloth diapering journey? First of all, why are you interested in cloth diapering?

A disposable diaper may take up to 500 years

We are so excited to share this product with you today. Our team first saw the Lifefactory Glass Beverage bottles at the ABC Kids Expo in October. Several team members purchased bottles while there and they were an immediate hit with the entire staff when they were brought into the office. Our team literally begged Jenn to bring them in to offer to our customers. We love the Lifefactory glass bottles because the entire product, including all components, is completely free of known toxins including BPA, phthalates, polycarbonates, and PVC. The silicone sleeve makes it easy to grip the bottle

This week has been a roller coaster of emotion. Sunday, I enjoyed my first Cotton Babies holiday party, celebrating an amazing year of hard work with my new co-workers. It was amazing to be a part of this tremendous company and to see all the hard work invested before I joined the team. At the same time I was celebrating with my co-workers, my husband was in the air, on a flight bound for out of state training. After our party, I rushed to assist a holiday stage production for a few hours before returning home to put my children

It’s downright cold here in St. Louis and this morning, so I pulled out Baby Legs for my 4-year-old daughter to wear with her favorite leggings. She was so excited to wear them and show them off to her siblings and friends. I used to think Baby Legs were just for babies, but after trying them out, I’m really impressed with the quality and longevity of this product. On my taller than average 4-year-old, they covered her heels to above her knees with no stretching. Another Cotton Babies staff member has a 10-year-old that wears Baby Legs as legwarmers, they

This is one of Jenn’s favorite drink recipes from her friend, Bekah, a Cotton Babies blogger. We’re sharing this recipe again and reposting it so you can find it easily when you need a little treat on a long day. Bookmark this page so you can enjoy peppermint mochas all winter long! I love a good peppermint mocha during the cold midwest winter months. However, if you’ve ever dared to investigate the fat and sugar (aka high fructose corn syrup) content of your favorite coffee restaurants, you likely found yourself feeling guilty and/or grossed out. This is why I have
