Thursday Giveaway: So Many Options
July 11, 2013 6:04 am | by

Cloth diapers mean options. A lot. From All-in-Ones and All-in-Twos, to pockets and prefolds, you have a ton of choices to make when it comes to finding the right cloth diapers for you and your family.  If you’re a cloth diaper n00b, you might not understand how every single cloth diapering system works. Better yet, if you’re new to cloth, you may even be overwhelmed at the amount of choices you have. TRUST ME.  For this week’s giveaway, we want to help you narrow down the choices. Four random people will win one bumGenius, Flip or Econobum cloth diaper — you

Beat boredom with some of the activities below, before the lazy days of summer pass by! Take advantage of what your community has to offer. Many smaller municipalities offer summer concerts, movies in the park, kid’s fishing derbies, and other family-friendly events for the community.

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

Thursday Giveaway: Happy Father’s Day!
June 13, 2013 8:39 am | by

Father’s Day is a pretty big deal to my family. Since my house is filled with five women and three female dogs, my dad is significantly outnumbered.  My sisters and I are — admittedly — the epitome of a “daddy’s girl,” so I suspect that could be why Father’s Day is really important to us. Of course, we try every day to show our dad how grateful we are for all that he’s done, but sometimes, with the general chaos of life, the message doesn’t get through as clearly or as frequently as we hope. Dads hold a very dear place in

Thursday Giveaway: Keep it Simple!
June 6, 2013 9:15 am | by

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius  As humans, we tend to make things confusing. I do this. You most likely do this. My computer especially does this. And everyone I know does this. Sometimes, it’s best to take a step back and figure out what truly matters — in nearly every aspect of life. The idea of keeping things simple is something that can be applied to any situation, even cloth diapers. For this week’s giveaway, we’re keeping it simple and three people will win an Econobum Trial Pack, pair of bumGenius BabyLegs
