A friend of mine sent this to me the other day… it made me laugh: Please don’t misunderstand me. I do love my bumGenius organics with snaps, but lately with my sweet baby girl at the very mobile age of 11 months my diapers with hook/loop (aka velcro) are a lifesaver. Emmaline loves to move and there are no exceptions to this love of movement, not even during a diaper change. As much as I wish she would just lie there all mellow while I snap her into a bumGenius organics she just won’t cooperate. Her body is one way

We have been hearing people from all over throwing a baby shower with a bumGenius theme! So with a little research, we gathered info on how they put together such a fun event.

I’ve always been bothered by reviews that I read that were not organically inspired by the writer’s natural desire to share information. I generally disregard anything written before the product was available to the public or even by someone who got the product free. I just do… it means much more to me as a reader when a review was written by someone who just liked the product and decided to tell the world about it. I feel the same about movie reviews. When a friend tells me that a movie is safe for my kids to watch, then I’m more

Ellen DeGeneres (aka @TheEllenShow) posted: Kids need diapers, but can’t drive to the store to buy them… yet.
