Review: A New Budget Line to Swoon Over

Back in November, I received this Vena Cava Tester from Smitten With Wovens. It will be the Freshman release for this budget line woven at a mill here in the United States. I can’t help but love when I find a company to support locally, even more so when it is at an accessible price.Continue reading “Review: A New Budget Line to Swoon Over”

Review: Lenny Lamb Florence

When Rachel over at 5 Minute Recess asked me to test out one of their new *Exclusives* woven by Lenny Lamb, I jumped at the opportunity. 5mr is known for carrying some of the lesser known budget wrap lines, and I am all for some more accessible woven wraps on the market. I haven’t wrappedContinue reading “Review: Lenny Lamb Florence”

Tutorial: Double Hammock with Xena Finish

I love this carry for hiking, back naps, museums, anything where I know that she is going to be up on my back for awhile.

Amidst the chaos of gadgets & gizmos promising you to watch your children for you, turn your child into a mini software engineer, train your children to sleep like adults, and to otherwise make parentingContinue reading “Daddies, Wear Your Babies”

IndaJani Brings Traditional Rebozos to a Modern Audience

It seems like handwoven wraps are all anyone talks about nowadays, so with all the chatter on thesubject, I am always surprised at how little I hear about IndaJani. IndaJani is a brand of woven wrap that is coming out of the state of Oaxaca in Southwestern Mexico, based on a traditional rebozo shawl -commonContinue reading “IndaJani Brings Traditional Rebozos to a Modern Audience”

We Wear Babies

What started out as a simple parenting tool, has become a bit of an… um… obsession? It all began with the Moby wrap. I had come across one at Target when I did my baby registry, so I went ahead and asked for one. I didn’t really know anyone who “wore” their baby, but IContinue reading “We Wear Babies”
