Have you thrown a bumGenius Baby Shower?
July 25, 2009 3:19 pm | by

We have been hearing people from all over throwing a baby shower with a bumGenius theme! So with a little research, we gathered info on how they put together such a fun event. Some ideas: Using bG’s as decorations just like the picture shows. Turn the bG decor into a game (also from the baby shower pictured). They put one letter from the baby’s name on each diaper – inside the diaper was an item for the baby (think S and Socks). Each person at the should had to guess what was in each diaper by feeling the shape of

Do you speak cloth?
July 23, 2009 2:35 pm | by

Cloth diapering is a whole world of its own (as I’m sure you are well aware!). When I first started learning about cloth diapers, I was so overwhelmed by all the terms and acronyms on message boards and blogs…so I thought I would refresh this post from 2005 and decipher a few more terms you may see out there: AIO – All-In-One diapers – diaper with a waterproof outer and absorbent inner all in one piece Aplix – hook and loop fastener a-la Velcro bG – bumGenius – top selling cloth diaper brand CD – cloth diaper Contour – cloth

bumGenius & Cotton Babies Reviews
July 17, 2009 4:45 pm | by

I’ve always been bothered by reviews that I read that were not organically inspired by the writer’s natural desire to share information. I generally disregard anything written before the product was available to the public or even by someone who got the product free. I just do… it means much more to me as a reader when a review was written by someone who just liked the product and decided to tell the world about it. I feel the same about movie reviews. When a friend tells me that a movie is safe for my kids to watch, then I’m more

New Limits on Rear Facing Seats
July 17, 2009 1:12 pm | by

This summer, not one or two but THREE seats have now come out with new rear facing weight limits. First Graco released its brand new My Ride seat. It rear faces to 40 pounds and forward faces to 65 pounds. It was the first seat to break the 35 pound rear facing weight limit and retails for around $150. It got pretty good reviews and looks like it will be tall enough to allow children to rear face until they are 3 or possibly 4 years old depending on the height of the child. One caveat to this seat is

In the Home Stretch (for this one)
July 2, 2009 4:12 pm | by

Bye, Bye diapers! Lily (21 months) has been completely out of diapers for a week and a half now. She is very young to potty train by today’s standards, but she hit a point where she started to get it and with a little help (and a few m&m’s) she is about 90% there now. I have chronicled our potty tales in the posts Elimination Communication and Elimination Communication – A Year Later. There came a day a couple weeks ago when she stopped wanting to pee in her diaper and would tell me or show some sign of needing
