Babywearing - Cell Phone Edition

In honor of International Babywearing Week I went through the photographs on my phone and pulled out the babywearing ones. It was fun to look back at all the different things I was able to do while wearing Elsa. I've pulled favorites before for her Alphabitty Moments book as I used Babywearing for the letter "B" page.

 

I printed Elsa's baby book in time for her rainbow party in July so I found some new ones on my phone that were taken since then. (sorry for the reverse order)

Love the Ergo!

Didn't love the fish.

I bought the Ergo specifically for the easy of a back carry, but it's not as comfortable as I had hoped. Elsa liked it though. (I do LOVE the front carry with the Ergo.)

I wore in the Ergo when we went out to collect maple sap in March.

Winter hike.

Did you know that slings and wraps are great for putting together costumes?  Sam is wearing my purple Sakura Bloom ring sling and Julia is wearing my Sleepy Wrap for Bible Character night at Awanas

Nap time!

I'm not the only one who loves babywearing in our house. She started young.

An evening snooze that reminded me a lot of these two photos.  Can you tell who's who?

Errands are so much easier with a sling!



Walking on the new Dakota Rail Line trail.


FIRST time in the Sleep Wrap  at 3 days old. We took a walk in our campground when we got home from the hospital. I quickly learned to tie the wrap much tighter.
And just like that 14 months of babywearing is history! This has been a good reminder to use my carriers more - this special stage of childhood is going to be over before I know it! Did you babywear this past year? What is your favorite carrier?

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...
