I've been cloth diapering a long time. So I have seen how diapers evolve. New brands starts. Old brands fade out. Old brands come out with new stuff. The Flip certainly isn't new, but it took me a while to try it. I'm just going to be up front. The All In Two* concept was …
Pregnancy Update- Baby Seven
I realized that I haven't talked much about this pregnancy and the plans and how things are going. I figured an update was in order. So far, this pregnancy is completely normal and boring. Boring pregnancies are the best. Nothing is at all out of the ordinary. Daisy (that would be the baby's name) is …
Oscha Caledonia Braes Review
When I was pregnant with Peregrin, I saw a picture on FB of a woman wearing a baby wrap that looked so Lord of The Rings. I thought, "I NEED that wrap!" I sent the picture to a friend. We quickly found the wrap was an Oscha Caledonia Braes. But there weren't any new ones …

Danu Enigma Beaufort- A Review
I recently had the opportunity to test out the Danu Enigma Beaufort wrap. I've been wearing my babies, well, since the one that is 9 was born, so I've used quite a variety of carriers over the years, but have only recently gotten into using woven wraps. I was very excited to be chosen as …

Babywearing: A Personal History
We decided to wear our baby before our first was born. I loved the idea and thought it'd be so much easier than maneuvering a stroller everywhere we went. When our first was born, we were still in youth ministry and just knew a stroller wouldn't really suit our lifestyle. So, off to big box …
Be Happy!
It seems like so many people are mad this week. Probably because of that thing which shall not be named. Those that are not mad about the thing seem mad that other people are mad about that thing. So, I am doing to the internet what I do for Emery when he gets really upset. …
