July 8, 2013 8:44 am | by

Thursday Giveaway: Braving the Elements
July 4, 2013 9:11 am | by

The weather outside is weather. If you’ve seen the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, you will recognize that line. In St. Louis, where Cotton Babies is headquartered, the weather outside is exactly that. It’s weather. Unpredictable is probably the best way to describe a typical forecast here, especially in the summer. Somedays, it’s miserably hot while others are cool and rainy, which has been the case the last three days.  So, how do we brave the elements? Very carefully, you see.  Living in the Midwest (or anywhere really) means you have to adjust to the ever-changing climate. And since it’s been raining

Prepping Cloth Diapers

Ah, summer. What’s not to love about the season? School is out, vacations are planned, and the weather is nice, which can only mean one thing: air drying cloth diapers. Line drying your cloth diapers is a great way to save money, and each month, it can put more than $10 back in your pocket. But not only that, drying your diapers in the sun can also remove stains and sanitize your stash. To dry your cloth diapers outside, you don’t need a traditional clothesline and clothespins.
