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.

Hey, thanks for the great Blog. Honestly, about five months ago I started using the internet and there is so much junk out there. I appreciate that you put excellent content out that is clear and well-written. Good luck and thank you for the great Blog.

I feel the same way as a lot of other moms on this blog. I want to be smart this year with my money!!! I am going to shop yard sales and buy used. Not just for baby but for me too. We are also getting a car this year to adjust to our growing family so we are trying to be as money smart about this huge purchase as much as possible.
My genius plan is to try and buy used this year as much as possible. This includes, clothes, toys, gear, etc. It’s green and thrifty 🙂
I am taking small steps to change over to a more natural way of living. Buying all organic is out for us since it is so expensive but using reusable items (including cloth diapers) is a possibility. We have already started using snack/sandwich bags and I’m looking for a good system for freezing foods that won’t cause freezer burn but is reusable.

I am striving to remove the clutter from our lives, both in the way of objects and outside influences and activities that do not benefit us. I feel that this will allow us more time and more quality time as a family.
My genius intentions are to spend less time online and more time in my children’s real worlds. They need me to be plugged into them instead of being so deeply into blogs and facebook.
This year, I plan to have another kid (and put BGs on him or her, of course)! And hopefully to get my current one OUT of the BGs. 🙂
This year I am going be INTENTIONAL with my life. Each precious moment, hard-earned dollar, and endeavor! Sounds like genius to me!
My genius plan is to enjoy the small things. I actually enjoy folding and putting together my cloth diaper stash. It makes me feel ready for the next day. As long as my kids need me my housework will take a backseat.
What’s that you say? They will always need their mom some way? Perfect genius plan
I will continue to use only cloth diapers and reusable wipes throughout the year and we want to add a new member to the family before 2013

I am going to plant a bigger garden this summer and try to exclusively CD my little guy.
I’m going to finish our unfinished basement to gain more living space since we need it with thenew little one. Genius way to save some money while getting the space we need. 🙂
I started 2012 by buying diapers for a friend who was really interested in transitioning to cloth! She was super excited when I bought her (and myself!) 3 new Free Times!
I am going to strive to be more crunchy. I am new to cloth and have started making my babies food. I am also going to work on my stress levels.
I am going to be a genius by replacing disposable wipes with cloth ones and getting a new HE washer and dryer.
I plan on being a genius this year by making the most of my maternity leave as well as studying for a qualification for work. My baby girl Izabella was born in October, and I’m currently breastfeeding and cloth bumming and we plan to do blw, all of which I think is a pretty genius way to spend 2012!
started 2012 cloth diapering my son.. that was a great way to start off the year and i love it.
I plan on saving more money than I spend this year. And, I also plan to truly enjoy cloth diapering our little one.
I plan on becoming a genius by learning to reduce the waste our household creates. I also want to plant a veggie garden in the spring.
our 4th baby is coming in april but this will be our first experience in cloth diapering! i’m looking forward to a more spiritual, intentional daily life, especially when it comes to motherhood. i want to enjoy ALL my children more. they grow too fast…
My genius plan for 2012 is to declutter, organize, and whip my house into shape so we’re ready to add another kiddo to the family!
… by sticking to my values and what I believe to be important when it comes to my children, even if it’s different than the rest of my family
My genius moves is giving birth to my son in April 2012, after being told I probably won’t be able to have kids, cloth diapering, breastfeeding, and making my own baby food to save money. Celebrating mine and my husbands first anniversary in March. And being the best mom I can for my son.
I am going to be a genius by doing cloth diapers of course! In addition I plan on getting up earlier, reading scripture, working out and planning my day before my kids wake up. I want to be more prepared for my day, for my kids and husband and for myself.
I’m going to be a genius by figuring out how to write a novel and be a stay at home mom taking care of an infant. 🙂
I am a new mom as of 11/28/11 a month before my ds arrived I decided I wanted to cd. Family and friends didn’t really support me they thought it would be so gross and way too time consuming. Six weeks later and cd from birth Im so happy that I didn’t let them talk me out of it. My sister having three young boys is now starting to cd and a close friend that has a 8 month old is too so happy I was able to show them how much better it is. In 2012 I want to be genius by passing on the joy of cd to more friends and family.
I plan on being a Genius in 2012 by switching from disposable diapers to cloth!!!

I am going to make it to at least one year of breastfeeding! hurray!
This year I plan to become more green no more paper towels, less water useage, and less energy usage. I have already switched all my lights bulbs over, I have been full time cloth diapering two kids for about 4 months and making my own products to make sure they are green.
I plan on saving money this year instead of wasting it!
My children are the best at making something complicated become so simple. They see the world in smiles and beautiful simplicity. For me, being a genius is stopping more and trying to see the world through their eyes. It makes everything more beautiful!
I plan on being a genius in 2012 by seeing an invention of mine be developed and see what happens!!!
We’ve used cloth for almost 2 years with our first baby and I have 3 expecting friends that are planning to use cloth because of the information I provided them. I have that if I can do it you can do it attitude! We have really made an impact on what the world will look like when our child and future children grow up. I plan to continue on my path to reduce and reuse as much as I can and share with others tips and tricks so they can see how it’s really not that hard to make a simple change!
this is my husbands and my first babe. we are not struggling but we head a homeless ministry out of our house for the homeless in our community. Im not talking salvation army homeless, although they are in need, they are provided for. I am talking about those who live in tents in the woods and under bridges. People with criminal backgraounds to bad to be let in to the salvation army who still need salvation. We fund this mostly ourselves so if it come down to it and i couldnt breast feed then it would either be formula or diapers for our little one. So we started a cloth diaper stash so we would never have to choose. I have been CDing my 2 yr old niece for about a month now so she can potty train and i am so glad that i am! my sis just lost one of her jobs and cant afford to use sposies all the time now. I want to help keep homeless and low income parents from ever having to chose between diapers and food.Your story has really inspired me to reach out in a way i would have never would have thought of. The work you do in poverty stricken neighborhoods is truly comendable. When my babe arives in march she will be a bum genius baby for sure!( well… econobum.) Thank you for your generosity. The Lord bless you and your company!
