This is my babywearing “stash” as of the beginning of October, 2012. It took a lot of work to get it all in one place, and I even missed one carrier, my Boba Air, which is in my stroller as backup. Why would someone “need” so many carriers? Let me explain. Top row: Boba 3G… Continue Reading

13 Truths About Airline Travel With Kids
Traveling with two kids two and under is definitely a challenge. Here are some things I learned or observed during my trip. I wrote these on the way to South Carolina, and I’m editing to add a bit of return-trip wisdom. 1)Snack Attack I planned ahead and packed a cooler-lunchbox full of healthy snacks for… Continue Reading
Breastfeeding Photography – Would you do it?
One thing I hear from moms repeatedly is “I wish I had some pictures of when my kids were nursing.” I take a lot of pictures when nursing my kids, with my phone. You know the ones… arm outstretched, hoping to get a good angle and not shake your hand too much, or settling for… Continue Reading
How to Make a Woven Wrap Hammock
I’ve heard of people making hammocks or swings with their woven wraps in the babywearing communities online, but there doesn’t seem to be much “authority” about how to do it the right way. I can’t find a tutorial for how to make a swing, but I’m planning on trying something out and posting if it… Continue Reading
Happy 2nd Birthday, Anneliese!
Have you read Anneliese’s birth story? What about her First Birthday post? It’s almost hard to believe a whole year has passed, and here we are again celebrating that long long long day that finally allowed me to meet my baby girl and become a mother. The day we went from a couple to a… Continue Reading
Primal Baked Zucchini Rounds (Grain Free, Gluten Free)
A little while back, I found these zucchini tots on Pinterest and thought to myself, “Dang if I don’t like me some zucchini. I bet these are the bee’s knees!” Or something along those lines anyway. Rayna got the idea from Kelsey at The Naptime Chef (here are her Zucchini Bites) and wow. Hers look… Continue Reading
Almost Two
In a few days, Anneliese will be 23 months. Almost two. She is really in an exciting – and difficult – phase. She’s SO nurturing and sweet, so exuberant and creative, and so frustrated (with wanting to be able to do more, communicate more, know more – FASTER) and attached right now. I think part… Continue Reading
Babywearing a new squish
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a more experienced babywearer now, or if it’s a difference in personality and temperament, but Joseph has taken to babywearing right off the bat. Anneliese (as a newborn) needed more soothing once she was situated in the carriers (any kind), and usually only liked to be worn in… Continue Reading
Boba Mini!!! Review and Pictures
I got the CUTEST mail today. And Anneliese and I had to immediately play with it. SO immediately that I didn’t have time to remove the tag, so please excuse it in the photos. Boba Family is introducing a new member – the Boba Mini! It’s a pint-sized baby carrier for babydollwearing. Just like its… Continue Reading
Barefoot and Pregnant in the Kitchen–Weeks 30, 31, 32, 33
Oops… I’m pretty behind on this. The pregnancy post before this one covered 3 weeks, and the one before that one was 2… so I guess it figures this one would be 4. Maybe the next post will be a BABY post (but I doubt it… I’ll try to update before then). Just the Facts:… Continue Reading
17 Months and Growing So Fast
I’m so lucky to have spent another month with this beautiful little lady. I can’t believe I get to help her and support her as she grows, and watch her become the person she was meant to be. What a fantastic job to have!!! Anneliese has grown to be pretty flexible in her schedule.… Continue Reading
Barefoot and Pregnant in the Kitchen–Weeks 21-22
Just the Facts: Weeks pregnant: 22 weeks Weight: 146? I don’t know. I was 142 yesterday, but 146 this morning. It was insane. And might have had something to do with the 2.5 glasses of water, glass of chocolate milk, and 2 (individual) bottles of coconut water I had in the 3 hours before bed… Continue Reading
