At the age of three I was a huge fan of cotton. I had a 100% cotton diaper I carried around and slept with. I loved that thing and it could not be replaced with any other type of cloth diaper. I know what you are thinking, that is sort of weird. A diaper? Yes, I loved it! It was so soft, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It protected me from monsters and it always had the best scent of home.

I carried the security of cotton into my adult years as well. Cotton plays a huge role in my life as a mother. I have two adorable children, my little boy is four and my baby is seven months. From the start of their lives cotton has been there. Both of my sweet babies were handed to me in a warm cotton blanket and a dainty little cotton hat. For my babies, I always chose cotton onesies and  little cotton socks for their attire. I chose these items because I knew they were the softest and purest fabric for my babies’ sensitive skin.

Oh how my kids love bath time! Bath time is a wonderful reminder of how cotton is truly a wonderful fabric. I love getting my kiddos out of the tub and wrapping them in the softest cotton towels I have. I believe my snuggle time is always better at bath time! Just is something about the warmth of a cotton towel.

My husband is a Ag pilot and is so busy in the summer. So family time is very important to us. When we get the chance, the whole family jumps into our king size bed and we cuddle in our cotton sheets!! There is just something about cotton sheets in the summer!! They are so cool and calming!! This make our family’s nap time so comfy and cozy!

If I didn’t have cotton in my life SMALL things just wouldn’t be as precious!! It has been a major part of my life from the beginning! I hope cotton helps build memories for my children!

Cotton really is the fabric of my life!!
