Here comes the Sun!

Looks like it is finally (really) Spring. It is sunny and 80 degrees outside. Going to the park for a picnic snack this afternoon with my mom and boys.

I am also going to take some pictures outside for my first post on how to tie the wrap step-by-step (it will be Tiago's favorite carry). I am sure you are wondering how it is done, so look for that post tonight (or better yet, follow the blog so it reminds you to come check it out).

See you later.

My babywearing story

I carried my first son in one of the most popular carriers on the market (the type with straps and buckles). While it was great for quick sessions, it wasn't comfortable to wear for a long time (such as during a whole nap) and I had to give it up when he was 5 months because my back couldn't take the weight anymore (about 15 pounds). So I continued to struggle trying to get anything done while the baby took a 30-minute nap (after trying to make him fall asleep for an hour).

When my son was 1, we spent 5 months in Vancouver (Canada) and I noticed many moms wearing their babies in fabric wraps. Fabric wraps have no straps or buckles and evenly distribute baby's weight across your sholders and your whole back making them extremely comfortable for both mother and baby to be wrapped for long periods of time. I thought to myself: "Next time, I'm going to wear the baby all the time!"


And here I am, wearing 1-month-old Tiago in his Ellaroo, his favorite place to sleep during the day. He normally falls asleep as soon as throw the fabric over him :)

I became so excited about babywearing and fabric wraps that I decided to bring quality wraps to as many moms as I could and spread the joy and benefits of babywearing! Visit the Babywearing Store to get yours!

First post (very creative title)!

Why do I post and what do I post about you may ask. Well, I have a almost 4-year old son and a 7-week old son and I am on maternity leave so... I post about children, babies, life with children and babies and other child and baby related subjects.

One subject I am especially passionate about and you can expect a few posts on it is babywearing (carrying your baby, then later your child, close to your body in a baby carrier). In fact, I am so passionate about it that I tried several carriers and picked one to sell in hopes to bring the joy and benefits of baby wearing to moms around the world. Thus there is a babywearing store where you can buy my baby carrier of choice, the Ellaroo wrap.


I hope this to be a fun experience for me and for anybody that comes to visit. That being said, I officially declare this blog to be inaugurated (I break a virtual champagne bottle on it)!
