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
There is something about Zutano clothes that brings a smile to my face and puts me in awe. From the moment I first laid eyes on this collection of kidswear, which was pretty recent since I’ve been working for Cotton Babies a little over a month, I fell in love with the brand’s bright prints and unique graphics. Part of me wishes I were younger, so I could wear fun, joyful pieces that featured small jungle animals, toy trains and monsters, but I can’t. I’ve – unfortunately – grown past that stage and dress more “age appropriate.” I think it’s
We have been thinking a lot this week about leisure time. With the introduction of the bumGenius Freetime, one of our goals was to give parents back those few extra minutes a week that you might spend stuffing your pocket diapers. It may not be a ton of time, but as you well know, every minute you can save from laundry or housework can be invested in your family or even yourself. Experienced moms will often shower new moms with the advice, “Don’t forget to make time for yourself!” I don’t know about you, but I struggled with how to
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
It’s that time of year when colds and flus start popping up. We just added an item to our “What’s New” section that may help with your sniffly troubles. Earlier this week, we posted on our Facebook Page about the Fridababy Snot Sucker. We know what you’re thinking because we, too, asked ourselves the same: “What exactly is a ‘snot sucker’?” This remarkable product is a smart, yet strange, nose aspirator that will help you effectively clear out your baby’s nose when an inevitable cold happens. It is invented and recommended by doctors. As you can read above, it has
This morning, I delivered some amazing brownies to my children’s school. Today is the monthly teacher appreciation lunch and it is third grade’s turn to host. My son’s class was responsible for dessert. The moment I read the e-mail request for food, I knew exactly how I had to express my extreme gratitude to these teachers who bless me with six hours of quiet each day. These amazing brownies are, in my opinion, the ultimate love language. What does this have to do with Cotton Babies? Let me tell you… At Cotton Babies, we LOVE to celebrate birthdays.
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
In yesterday’s blog post, we asked what your plans are for 2012. It is inspiring to see the range of goals you each have set for yourself. Whether it is writing a book, going back to school, enjoying the every day moments of life, finding creative ways to make your budget stretch further or making changes to diet and exercise for your whole family, each goal will take hard work to see through to completion. This morning I woke knowing I had been tasked with writing a rah-rah, ‘don’t give up’, ‘you can do it’ style blog post. If you
At Cotton Babies, we believe genius comes in all sizes, from babies to adults. We wanted to make sure parents had a way to express their genius while their little ones sported our new Genius series prints, Albert and Lovelace. We created this t-shirt as a simple reminder of what true genius is. Three lucky blog commenters today will each receive a Cotton Babies prize pack that will include an “I’m a Genius” t-shirt for you and a bumGenius 4.0 cloth diaper for your little one.
