Move to Arizona or Hawaii where daylight savings time is straight-up not observed. I’m pretty sure they are onto something here. See you in Hawaii! I volunteer as tribute. Ignore it.

Babies at Work: Pandemic Edition. What it's like to work full-time with a toddler and preschooler. #cottonbabies #babiesatwork

Guess what! It’s National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. In the past, I’ve shared what my experience was like to have a baby at work. I thought those days were long behind us. Then, COVID-19 happened and I have found myself at home with a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old. First of all, I don’t want this post to come off as ungrateful.

How to host a Virtual Baby

With social distancing in full effect, it’s important to protect those most vulnerable. While baby showers are meant to be a joyous occasion, it’s critical that for the time being people limit large gatherings. Instead of hosting a large in-person baby shower, a fun, interactive way to celebrate is with a virtual baby shower. What is a virtual baby shower?

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

Not too long later, I started a business and, for nearly 18 years, we’ve been working to make cloth diapers readily available to every family everywhere,” said Jennifer Labit, Cotton Babies founder and CEO.
