Who doesn’t need a little extra free time during the holidays? bumGenius Freetime is a convenient, all-in-one style cloth diaper that doesn’t require stuffing, saving a little bit of time every time you wash your cloth diapers. Sure, stuffing pocket style cloth diapers only takes 10-15 minutes every few days, but what could you do with an extra hour each week during the holidays? Bake some cookies, wrap gifts, read a book in front of the fire, knit a pair of mittens or maybe you would rather just take a nap. As a mom, I can’t guarantee any of those

Today is a day we celebrate the right to choose! Here at Cotton Babies we’re not only celebrating the right to chose our leaders and government representatives, but also our right to chose the type of cloth diaper that works best for you and your baby. We believe the best candidate for choice is Flip Diapers! Flip diapers gives you the choice of two different closures in the cover, as well as the choice of three different types of absorbent inserts for whatever situation life may throw at you. Whether you need the ease of hook & loop or the

One of my favorite things about children is seeing how much they love to play dress up. They find such joy in imitating people, animals and objects around them. I find this time of year especially fun because not only is there an abundance of candy, but it’s okay for people of all ages to dress up and pretend to be something or someone else — even if it’s only for a few hours. Last weekend, our retail stores held a costume contest, but we don’t want you to miss out on the fun too! For this week’s giveaway, we’re

I am so tired. Are you? In the last seven days, I’ve worked in the office and from home; attended scout meetings; cared for a fevering, vomitting child; endured a traveling husband and had way too many sleepless nights. Last night, I threw in the towel, fed my kids drive thru dinner and took them to a park. Once they were finished eating, I let them run around and pretended they weren’t my children. Don’t worry, I kept a safe eye on “other people’s kids.” By pretending for a moment that my children were just kids on a playground, I

Don’t you just love how people love to use that phrase “sleep like a baby”? That is, until they become parents and quickly learn how babies actually sleep. If I could actually give you sleep in today’s giveaway, I would. As a parent, I know how precious sleep is. But since I can’t give you sleep, I’ll try to give you the next best thing… a cloth diapering accessory that (hopefully) helps your little one sleep just a bit longer at night. We are often asked how to prevent cloth diaper leaks in little ones at nap and bed time

One of the things I love most about cloth diapering is that you can do it in baby steps (pun intended). You can start with a few cloth diapers, then expand once you get the hang of it and find a style you like. If you are like me, once you master cloth diapers, you start looking around for other reusable products to add to your green arsenal. That’s why I think cloth diapers are a gateway to a greener lifestyle.   Once you cloth diaper, a logical next step is to add cloth baby wipes. Sure, you can use
