With Lil C, I wanted to use cloth diapers, but everyone who had a chance of watching him talked me out of it.  I was working full time, so I had to go by what my sitters wanted.  With Peanut though, Even though I worked full time, I was a co-owner of my own business, and I was able to take her to work with me every day. I tried a couple different styles, but I ended up falling in love with the Bum Genius Cloth Diaper line.   Not only did they hold up well with peanut, but man the prints were So cute!

Fast forward a couple years and Peanut finally potty trained and I had to pack up all her diapers.  This was probably the second hardest time on me with her growing up (The 1st time was taking her crib down and giving her a big girl bed).  Shhh, I may have cried, as I put all the diapers in the drawer for the last time.    I contemplated selling my diaper collection.  We weren’t planning on having any more kids….

But I think God had a different plan for us.  Guess what, In another 6 months, I get to bring all the diapers back out of storage, and I get to look at all the new prints again!

To celebrate this great news, I was able to partner with Mrs. Jennifer Labit to bring you a small interview and a giveaway of one of my Favorite Diapers!!! One of my lucky readers will win a BumGenius Freetime in Twilight – with a custom Doodle from Mr. Jimmy Labit.

Q:  What inspired you to create the Bum Genius Line?

A: My husband and I were on an extremely tight budget when we had our oldest son, Andrew. We were gifted a cloth diaper service, and then a friend actually gave me her baby’s cloth diapers. It was such an amazing gift because we didn’t have to choose between food and diapers. We just had to wash the diapers. I started selling slings and eventually cloth diapers. I added snaps to microfiber inserts to make our adjustable one-size inserts. In 2005, we rolled out bumGenius Original Pocket Diaper. They’ve come a long way since our first design!

Q:  Being a musician who played Flute and Clarinet in my High School and College Jazz Ensemble, I loved Louis.  I was so excited when I saw the clarinet in the print.  Who is your favorite Genius that you have featured?

A: I love all of our Geniuses and the prints, but, as a musician, I have a soft spot for Louis. It’s such a fun print inspired by a legendary musician.

Q:  Knowing that you’re getting closer to getting the Elemental Joy on the shelves at Walmart, how excited are you to be able to bring more affordable cloth diapering to more families. 

A: We want to make cloth diapers even more accessible for families, and landing a deal with Walmart will help us with this goal. There really aren’t words to express the excitement I feel about how many families will get access to a reusable diapering choice for their families. Instead of hauling their babies down the diaper aisle every week, they’ll only have to buy our cloth diapers once. It’s amazing! You really can’t get much more mainstream than Walmart. 

Q:  I’ve always loved the 4.0 diapers (now 5.0), what is your favorite style of diaper and why?
A: I adore our Littles 2.0 newborn cloth diapers. It’s hard for me to hold a diaper that small and not smile! If I were starting my cloth diapering journey today, I’d probably reach for bumGenius Elemental cloth diapers. They are easy, super absorbent and so trim!
You can find Mrs. Labit actively participating in the Cotton Babies: The Mob Facebook group.  I’ve been part of that group since Peanut was little.  I love seeing an owner and a CEO so involved in their customers lives.  They really care about all the people they sell to.
Who would love to win a One of a Kind Diaper?  Giveaway will end on August 7, 2018 at 11:59PM

    I would like a doctor who themed diaper. But maybe I’m just weird. But it’s one of those shows that I watch and the baby likes it too.

    I would love to see a jungle theme. My son’s nursery has a girraffe, a hippo, and a lion. It would be super cute. I love how gender neutral bumgenius diapers are.
