Tuesday Giveaway: It’s my Momiversary!
March 6, 2012 6:51 am | by

Today is my Momiversary. What’s that, you ask? Well, put simply, today is my oldest child’s birthday, therefore the day I became a mom. I know technically that you become a mom before birth, but I don’t know the exact day I conceived and I’m not a fan of math, so I make it easy on myself and call today my Momiversary. The truth is, even while pregnant, most of my life was the same. The really big changes came the moment he exited my body and entered the world. Nothing has been the same since. There’s just something special

Tuesday Giveaway: All Wrapped Up
February 28, 2012 6:07 pm | by

I’ll be the first to admit, I love to swaddle a newborn. Swaddling is a technique where you wrap a baby tightly in a large blanket to secure their arms and legs. It can help soothe the baby, as many believe it reminds infants of the womb. I didn’t do it very often with my oldest son, but with my other children, I swaddled them for as long as I possibly could. I know not every child likes to be swaddled, but mine did. It was a lifesaver for our whole family. It helped our babes fall asleep and stay

So today, we wanted to get a few lucky customers started down the journey to saving even more with a starter set of bumGenius cloth wipes, bumGenius Bottom Cleaner and a bumGenius 4.0 cloth diaper.

Now that we’ve moved beyond the baby stage, they get used for faces,

You’ll Flip for this giveaway!
January 31, 2012 5:52 am | by

I have a confession to make… I LOVE Flip diapers. I came to cloth diapering after using disposables, so I believe Flip diapers are the gateway to cloth diapering. I try to give a Flip Diaper with a package of Flip Disposable inserts to every mama I know even slightly interested cloth diapering. I know that some of them will feel overwhelmed, as I once did. I don’t mind if they just leave it in the nursery closet or on the bottom of the changing table. I don’t mind because I know the day will come when they run out

Tuesday Giveaway: Raising a genius
January 24, 2012 6:00 am | by

I recall my delight when my first child spoke his first word. It was exhilarating and exciting. Finally, we had signs of being able to communicate with this new little baby that didn’t involve one or both of us crying. What I didn’t realize in those early days was that one day that sweet little voice would learn the magical word “Why?” Any of you who have had a child reach that wonderful toddler stage know exactly what I’m talking about. Toddlers and preschoolers have an amazing way of learning about the world all around them, and it usually involves

Tuesday Giveaway: Sweet Siblings
January 17, 2012 9:29 pm | by

When I first suspected I might be expecting my second child, it was about this time of year, which also happens to be near my husband’s birthday. I secretly purchased a pregnancy test and snuck it into the house. I carefully hid it so he would not discover it before it was time. I waited a few days to take the pregnancy test. As many of you know, waiting any amount of time to take a pregnancy test can be excruciating and seem ten times longer than it truly is. Those few days passed so slowly! The morning of his

Tuesday Giveaway: All I Want for Christmas
December 27, 2011 12:18 pm | by

Recently, Jennifer Labit, owner of Cotton Babies and creator of bumGenius, Flip and Econobum, shared her Christmas wish list on her blog: Christmas is a fun season of the year, but I’m not a big “stuff” person. My idea of Christmas fun would actually be a large dumpster out in front of my house so I can “de-stuff”. I always get people asking about what I want for Christmas though, so this year, I’m taking the proverbial “bull by the horns” and just putting it out there for everyone to read. For Christmas, all I want is your help in
