Wrapped in Cloth – The (almost) Definitive Guide to Wrapping
Wrapping. Wrapping eluded me in my babywearing career for a VERY long time. With my first kid almost 9 years ago, we could have easily made one of those parody, viral wrapping videos currently floating around Facebook. Only it wouldn’t have been a parody. While we did eventually master front wrapping, back wrapping largely confounded […]

The Big Baby Bash Preview – and a BIG GIVEAWAY!!!
When I first became a parent (almost 9 years ago *gasp*) everyone talked about the importance of having the right tools in my toolbox. These were tools that I could turn to in order to make baby and toddlerhood more manageable or enhance our lives. The right tools were the tried and true things (and people!) that I could rely […]
Baby Carrier Care and Laundering
In April, our Babywearing 102 is Baby Carrier Care and Laundering! Thanks to Katie for this great blogpost: There are a few standout moments in life when we realize just how much has changed once children enter our lives. I distinctly remember a rare moment browsing for clothing for myself, finding something I loved, and […]
When Size Matters… (and doesn’t)
I never thought I’d say this… not in a million years… but, please don’t congratulate me on how thin I look. You don’t understand, my whole life I have struggled with issues of my weight and self-image.

I gifted carriers whenever possible, lent […]
