Comfort and Joy… (AND FREE CARRIERS!!!!)

You know what I’ve never done?  Bullfighting.  That’s ok. But something that I’ve never done that I’m doing right MEOW???

I always look like this when I’m blogging.

Our Blog’s FIRST Give-A-Way!!!!

This December, our theme is “Comfort and Joy.”  Yes, it’s part of a famous Christmas carol, but more than that it is the finite definition of the feelings one has when they wear their baby close (well, that and relief or productivity, but that doesn’t fit well with our holiday theme).

Anyway, we want to create a sense of community through a social media campaign and nothing builds community like… free fluff!

WHAT are we giving away?  Well, I’m glad you asked.

Oh… just a Pavo Wrap and the most “bad ass” of the Soft Structured Carries (SCCs).

That’s right… One Pavo Kith and Kin Grape Jam, size 6 Wrap!

“Our Kith & Kin wrap was designed to not only celebrate our families, but also to celebrate the friendships and bonds we forge in the babywearing community. It is a fitting wrap which celebrates the love, joy and community that babywearing fosters.” — Pavo Website.  Awwwww, makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.

and one Mission Critical Baby Carrier with backpack!

“The Mission Critical Baby Carrier is a front carry baby carrier. Simple, intuitive design makes it easy to put on and secure your baby. Baby can face in or out, depending on their stage of development. It features a removable and washable liner, hidden hood, MOLLE straps for customization, and a unique secure vest design allowing full freedom of hands and mobility. (Shown with optional Carrier Daypack). ” — Mission Critical Baby Carrier Website.

The Really Important Part:
This is a way for us to build community and have fun and give two someones a really special carrier with which it start their year!  We could not have achieved ANY of these goals without the thoughtful and generous donation of Pavo and Mission Control Baby Carrier.  Thank you both.
