Share the Love now shipping diapers to families in need. #sharethelove

When I switched to cloth diapers from disposables there was a lot I didn’t know.  One thing that didn’t even cross my mind was that cloth diapers not only have a life beyond one diaper change, they may even have a life beyond one child.  A friend of mine mentioned using the same set of diapers on both her first and second children.  Even more awesome is that the next go-around for your cloth diapers could be sharing the love with who may not have otherwise been able to afford diapers at all. As a Mom, especially in those early days,

Thursday Giveaway: A Change Would Do You Good
September 12, 2013 3:54 am | by

I’m sure you know the Sheryl Crow Song “A Change Will Do You Good.” Now that I brought it up, you’re probably singing the chorus in your head. Like the song states, a change would do you good. Now, we don’t know exactly what it is you need to change, other than a dirty bumGenius, but we want you to try and switch up your daily cloth diaper routine. Don’t worry, we’re not going haywire and asking you to do something drastic. Instead, we want you to change it up and try a cloth diaper system that you haven’t used

Cloth 201: High Efficiency Wash Machines
September 8, 2013 3:50 pm | by

Washing cloth diapers in a high efficiency wash machine shouldn’t be any different than washing cloth diapers in a top loader or laundromat. Sometimes, however, it is different because HE wash machines use as little water and energy as possible to clean your laundry. This can be good and bad. When washing dirty cloth diapers, it is extremely important to be sure that your bumGenius, Flip and Econobum covers are getting cleaned enough. If not, your cloth diapers may start to stink due to detergent build up and left over messes, which could irritate your baby’s sensitive skin. Finding the

E is for Econobum!
August 14, 2013 8:28 pm | by

A few weeks ago, I wrote a giveaway post on the Cotton Babies’ blog called, “F is for Freetime!” I decided to teach a few more letters of the alphabet today and write an “E is for Econobum” post. Every cloth diaper-er knows that the letter “E” really does stand for Econobum. It also stands for the word easy because cloth diapers are, in fact, very easy to use! If you have a budding cloth diaper addict on your hands, use this giveaway as an instruction mechanism. I mean, you’d be killing two birds with one stone because you can teach

Cloth Diaper Creams

Life is hectic, and if you’re human, you might forget something every once in a while or get distracted easily.  This happens to me often. I’m pretty sure my mind blanks numerous times throughout any given day. When you’re a mom and spend 99.9 percent of your day worrying about taking care of your family, you probably lose track of things, too. Even cloth diapers. After you ran errands this morning with your baby, did you remember to bring in your bumGenius Wetbag, or is it still outside in the car? If  you forgot to grab it, run outside now!

Thursday Giveaway: Look, ma! No stuffing!
August 8, 2013 6:01 am | by

Cloth diapering is like riding a bike.  You ease into with training wheels and start a basic system like prefolds and covers, and later advance to something a bit more complex like pocket or All-in-One diapers. When you began using cloth diapers, you probably needed a bit of direction, which is also similar to riding a bike for the first time. I did at least. Then, after you were able to stand on your own two feet, you hit the ground running and now you’re able to cloth diaper without any help or training. You may even be able to set

In recent years there has been an explosion of cookbooks, small appliances, and other niche products on the market specifically designed to help you create delicious and nutritious homemade baby food.  And while these gadgets are incredibly useful and convenient, it is not necessary to invest in a bunch of expensive equipment in order to serve your baby fresh, healthy, great-tasting first foods.  You can get started by using items that you probably already have in your kitchen. Why did I choose to make homemade baby food?  Simply put, I thought it would be a great way to provide a
