WFMW: Moby Wrap

One of the things on my must-have baby products list this time around was a sling. The options that are available boggled my mind, so I turned to our readers for help. But I was still confused! So I did some more searching and ran across an online vendor who just happens to live in the next town over from me, and I emailed her for help. Jennifer at Firefly Baby came to my rescue, and invited me over to her house to try slings on. She was super nice and very helpful, so if you need a sling, I highly recommend Firefly Baby!

I had pretty much decided on a ring sling before going to Jennifer’s house… but when I tried on a Moby Wrap, I knew it was the one for me!

It seemed a little complicated at first, but with a little practice, it’s easy to put on, and easy to get Sam into. I love how secure and snug he feels when he’s in it. In the last two weeks, I’ve worn him in it to the bookstore, Babies R Us, Kate’s t-ball practice, on walks around the neighborhood, and even to a concert! He really likes being in it and it is great to be able to have my hands free sometimes, because this baby likes to be held!

Speaking of Sam, I hear him giving his dad trouble upstairs… gotta run! The Moby Wrap works for me, and for other WFMW tips, head over to Rocks in my Dryer.

In Lieu of My Pre-Travel Freak-Out…

For those of you who haven’t heard, I am going on a trip. Alone. Without me babies or me husband! And I am fah-reaking out. But I am too tired to blog about my freak-out. So, in lieu of my pre-travel freak-out post, I bring you…cute pictures of my kids!! First up is our first day at the park this spring. It was soo nice last week! Here are some cute shots:

Sophie liked the swing for about a minute, then made it quite clear that she was DONE!

Thursday we went to Portrait Innovations with all my nieces & nephews to get their pictures done together for my mom for Mother’s Day. It was really fun and the kids (all eight of them!) did great! While I was there I decided to get Joshua’s belated 4 year picture done and Sophie’s 18-month photo done one month early. It’s MUCH cheaper that way! 🙂 Here are some of the cute poses:
