International Babywearing Week!

Today is officially the beginning of International Babywearing Week!
 

Ok, so I only just learned about this a couple of days ago and I have no set plans on how to celebrate. I would however like to take this as an excuse to talk about why I love babywearing so much!

When Peter was first born, I had a ring sling that I used almost constantly. Having been so snug and warm in the womb, it only makes sense that he would enjoy being held so close. It quickly became a convenience. Peter was happy, he'd fall asleep without fussing, and I learned how to get all of my chores done (including decorating cakes) with him asleep on me.

Now that he's 18 months old, he still enjoys being carried. I bring a pouch sling or my Ergo with me everywhere. In the middle of the grocery store I can quickly hold him and still have my arms available to shop. It's nice to know that I can always provide him the comfort and reassurance that he needs.

Why do you love babywearing? What's your favorite carrier? Any ideas on how to officially celebrate International Babywearing Week?

BumGenius' New Prints

I LOVE how they aren't "cutsie" with frogs and cheesy characters. These are great!! What do you think of the new prints??

Fresh Produce

Do you ever get the urge to photograph beautiful food? That's exactly how I look at produce. It's so colorful, so raw, genuine, and delicious! Since I do not yet own land to grow my own garden, these beauties came from the local grocery store.

Peter was just as excited about all this beautiful food and pulled out the celery as soon as we go to the car. We soon had a discussion on why we don't eat plastic. I'm sure we'll be having this talk again until he learns more of the English language.
