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!)

Pattern for Mei Tai
Saturday, October 17th, 2009
Some people have mentioned to me that they’d like to try and sew their own mei tai. I found this pattern online and wanted to link to it for anyone who is interested.

If you aren’t crafty and would prefer to buy a ready-made mei tai, not to worry! I am working on an order of BabyHawks and should have that off shortly!!

Waldorf Doll Kits ON SALE!
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
I love the look of little waldorf dolls, and I’ve been thinking of making one for my daughter for her birthday. The most popular site online for buying kits seems to be Joy’s Waldorf Dolls, so I went to their site to pick out a kit. I guess Joy has decided to retire, and everything is on sale at 30% off! So one hand, I’m thrilled to get a deal, but on the other, I feel like I should stock up on supplies which is just silly because I wouldn’t even know what I’d need! Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know about the sale in case this is a project that interests you!

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.
