Words are hard to put together for when a parent loses a child. We just don’t know what to say. And more often than not, we say nothing. But this month, National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, we make space for parents to share their grief, their love, and their words. Below is gMum Jaimey’s story about her own loss: October. The true beginning of falling leaves, crisp air, and all things pumpkin spice. Or it was until eight years ago. Now October is a lot more. Eight years ago, I delivered my sweet little angel baby, Jonathan. He...

Switching from conventional disposable diapers to hybrid diapers can be a challenge—habits are hard to change, right? But switching can also mean discovering conveniences you never knew existed. We talked with gMum Danielle about her experience with making the change: Tell us about moving from conventional disposables to gDiapers. When we were expecting our first baby, Emilia, we had looked into cloth diapering a bit. Then we received so many Huggies at my baby shower that we decided to just go with disposables. But, as everyone knows, our supply of Huggies dwindled a lot faster than we had hoped, and...

Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a beginner, camping with your little one can be lots of fun. (Really!) gMum Michelle has some advice on breathing easy and letting everyone have a good time: What motivates you to bring your son camping?

It can be tricky to convince people that hybrid diapering is really a smart choice, especially grandparents who remember when cloth diapers involved sharp pins and big, bulky baby bums. Here’s how one gMum was able to convince her whole family that gDiapers is the way to go: We love how you first came across gDiapers. Can you tell us who introduced you to them? My mom and dad were convinced that cloth diapers were a bad idea after trying them on my older brother, Chris, 30 years ago. He would get terrible diaper rash and get pricked with pins...

Happy Mother’s Day, mamas! We hope you spend your special day in bed with a hot cup of coffee, and your little ones showering you with love and appreciation. But what if you don’t?
What if you’re reading this on your phone while bouncing a fussy baby on your hip, and your lukewarm coffee sits on the counter?
What if you’re spending the day with a sick kiddo who needs more TLC than you do right now?
What if you’re celebrating your own mother by telling her now you understand just what it means to be a mother?

Growing up I thought my mother made the best butter on toast in the entire world. Even now when I visit her, it warms me from the inside out. It’s not extravagant or fancy, and I’ve been able to butter my own toast for a long time now. But, for some reason, mine never tastes quite like hers. She always laughs and says it is because it’s “Made with Love.”
And I absolutely believe this to be true.
Love is a defining ingredient for life. At g, we do our best to put love into everything we create. From products that touch your babies to the relationships we have with our vendors, we believe in the power of love and intention. Fortunately, love isn’t defined by perfection. But that’s the point. If something is “Made with Love,” there is beauty and meaning to be found within the imperfection.
