Can’t Wait to See the BabyHawk Mei Tais!

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I just placed an order for ten awesome Babyhawks and I CAN’T WAIT for them to get here! Babyhawks are a brand of mei tai carrier and are very popular among babywearers. Honestly, it took me forever to pick out ten. They have hundreds of options and you can customize your carrier in so many ways. And at first that sounds great, but quickly becomes overwhelming!

I’ve spent the last few days (well, weeks really) looking online at pictures of people wearing their Babyhawks to get a feel for popular colours and patterns. I think that I’ve picked ten that will look great and sell quickly. I’m hoping they’ll be here in three to four weeks, and I’ll post some photos of them once they arrive!

(Oh, I ordered some more FuzziBunz diapers today too, so if you’ve been checking out my selection and noticed that it seems sparse, don’t worry! I’ll have a new stash soon!)

Pandas and Daisies…

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

I bought my first sling, a wrap, from a wonderful girl named Cassandra at Panda Pouch. She had me and Rowan come to her house and try on different slings. When we decided the wrap would work best for us (Rowan loved it right from the start), she took the time to show me different ways to wrap it, and then patiently helped me as a tried it a few times myself. It was Cassandra’s help that got me hooked on babywearing.

Cassandra since sold Panda Pouch, and recently the new owners decided to sell it as well. Can you guess where this is heading? Well, I’m THRILLED to announce that Daisy Days will be taking over for Panda Pouch. All of the great slings and pouches from Panda Pouch can now be purchased through Daisy Days, with the same excellent level of customer service that Cassandra gave me. Check out PandaPouch.com to see the selection, and let me know if you have any questions at all.

I’m Off to Place an Order for BabyLegs!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I LOVE BabyLegs — I’m so excited to carry these. Honestly, I thought they were a bit silly when I first saw them — legwarmers for babies? But then I realized how practical they are, not to mention SUPER SWEET!

When you wear your baby, there pants often ride up so there teeny legs are exposed. In cooler weather, BabyLegs keep their legs covered and warm. In warmer weather, BabyLegs keep their legs protected from the sun.

I can’t wait to get these. They should be here in a couple weeks, I think, so check back to see the awesome ones that I picked. Or come by my booth at the Locke Street festival — fingers crossed that they come in time for that!!

Well, I’m off to place my order! Hurray!

It’s Official! Daisy Days will be at the Upcoming Hamilton’s Baby Expo

Friday, August 28th, 2009

The Hamilton Baby Expo is being put on by Social Mamas and My Smart Hands Hamilton, with all proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House. Its a great cause, and I’m so pleased to be a part of this event!

Even better: I will be sponsoring the Breastfeeding Room/Changing Area, which is fantastic. I still breastfeed my daughter (yeah, if she has her way, she’ll be nursing for the next seven years), and I’m thrilled to support other women as they nurse their babies.

And EVEN BETTER: I will be giving workshops on cloth diapering and babywearing. Woohoo! I think this is going to be an awesome day!

For information on the expo, such as when and where, check out www.hamiltonbabyexpo.ca.
