I love the idea of a tandem costume. You know, you and your wrapped up baby (or toddler) are something together. A Kangaroo and a joey (as sported by Alyson Hannigan in the above photo). An owl in a tree. A two-headed monster. Whether you’ve got older kids to take trick-or-treating, or you’re dressing up [...]
Now that I’m traveling fulltime in my wrap, I’m inspired by all the places it’s easy to get to with a wrapped up baby. You know, like the middle of a creek: And isn’t it remarkable, the number of things you can accomplish with a wrapped up baby. Like feeding your older kids, or vacuuming. [...]
We’re crossing state borders regularly now, and so far we haven’t escaped Summer. Most of the country is HOT right now! Mothers of babies are, perhaps, destined to be a little warmer than the rest of the population. Like pregnant women, it is part of the package: we trade uninterrupted sleep and bodily autonomy [...]
I have countless precious moments and memories of my two babies wrapped against me. I often think back to when I was a teenager, long before my own babies, and I saw a woman wearing her baby in the grocery store. I immediately decided I would wear my babies too. It was so obviously perfect. [...]
It’s about the nine months I carried you in my womb; the hopes, dreams, and smiles with which I anticipated your earthly arrival; the sight and smell and knowledge of you that keeps my heart doing flip flops; and the fact that neither one of us wants to be separated. Because there is no place [...]
I’ve not used rebozos much, except for a while when Ada was two and I used one for a quick rucksack tied under the bottom…which is not really a rebozo carry anyway!

I never quite got around to writing about this moms group, but with such a beautiful collection of mamatoto dyads, I had to share the photos! The last one is the babywearing gang we formed–flashing our gang sign…
I’ve hardly been on the computer the past week. I haven’t blogged, I’ve let my messages and emails go stale, and I couldn’t take pictures because the old ones weren’t uploaded. I did: spend the Solstice with my daughters and some friends (aged 5 and 2). We made suns out of clay and out of [...]
“But car seats aren’t a safe way to carry babies for lengthy periods outside the car, experts say.” http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009-10-19-car-seats_N.htm This article cites these reasons why car seats are not safe: babies have been injured when car seats fell off of high surfaces babies have been injured when carseats turned over on soft surfaces (like a [...]
I’ve been so busy increasing inventory, putting up new web pages for new products, and sending newsletters out to my mailing list that I haven’t posted much. I really wanted to get one in on Mothers Day, and now that the kids are in bed, I have at least half an hour left to do [...]
