Babywearing in the Cold? Kowalli has you and baby Covered! #snugbug

Kowalli Baby Carrier Cover

I found the babywearing love with Moreaya.  I didn't get my first carrier, an ErgoBABY, until Sophia was already walking and she had already asserted herself as a very independent child, so she wasn't so keen about being strapped on Mama's back.  But I wore Moreaya at just a few weeks old.  My favorite way to wear her when she was so tiny was in a Boba Wrap.  Once she was a little bigger, we started using our Beco Gemini Carrier almost exclusively.  It's slim and trim and I always felt like I have her close and safe. Babywearing in east Tennessee was all fine and dandy this Spring and Fall, but now that it's turned c-o-l-d, it's not my favorite.  I don't have a jacket large enough to cover us both and I just feel like although I'm warmer with Moreaya being on me, she … [Read more...]

Water Wrap Carrier – Safe and Fun in the Water With Your Babe!

When Sophia was a baby, I hadn't discovered baby carriers - wraps, soft structured, sling - anything.  Well, I did try a store bought sling once and she hated it.  But when Moreaya was born, she had no choice but to like carriers and she loves them even more than I do, I think! When you have babies so close in age, carriers are definitely helpful.  Just around the house, when you're out in public... all the time!  It's nice to have your little one so close and safe and still have 2 hands free for your toddler! So, when I started thinking about the summer time and how we would be enjoying splashing at local splash pads and water parks, I started wondering how I would do it with two little girls.  I obviously needed to carry Moreaya, but knew I couldn't wear a regular wrap and get it wet and wasn't sure how comfortable I was … [Read more...]

Boba’s Official Response and My Final Thoughts on the Red Charlotte Controversy.

I was sent this official response from Boba's Executive Vice President, Abby Armijo, over the weekend.  I've been out of town, which is why I'm just now being able to share it with all of you.  My final thoughts are below their response. To our valued babywearing friends: Having been founded by and still run by a dedicated mom and dad team, Boba exists and has grown to help families live the lives they dream fully with their children. Though we have grown quite a bit over the last few years, we are still very much a family-centered operation who cares deeply about our extended family. I myself am a working mother and feel both supportive and defensive of us all. So it was with great concern that I reached out to Charlotte Kaufman of Red Charlotte in response to several negative comments about our launch of a product very similar … [Read more...]

Supporting WAHMs.

srrmain

I'm pretty upset and have been for a over a week about a controversy that has came to light via Facebook. I've been a fan {and friend} of Charlotte's from Red Charlotte for over a year now!  I was actually the first blogger to ever review her Red Charlotte Stuff Sack and Sucking Pads.  Since then we've emailed one another often and I feel like she's a genuine online bloggy friend. So, when I saw this post, I immediately became concerned... As a blogger who has worked with Boba in the past {and had hoped to again in the future}, I wasn't sure how to react.  I've actually only had the absolute best customer service experiences with them both during my reviews and after.  I was shocked that they would do what Charlotte was saying they did, so I went straight to the source and asked Charlotte exactly what had happened...  We … [Read more...]

I first met Charlotte, owner and creative genius behind the Red Charlotte Etsy Shop over a year ago!  I contacted her about her Original Baby Carrier Stuff Sacks when I got my first baby carrier.  I absolutely loved my my first Stuff Sack and Sucking Pads.  I even contacted her about making some custom car seat strap covers - TWICE and now have a new pair of sucking straps to match my favorite baby carrier, my Beco Gemini.  {When I purchase from a previous Sponsor that says a lot about the quality of products and the person behind them.} When Charlotte told me her idea of introducing a new product line into Red Charlotte, I … [Read more...]

I’ve got a new favorite Baby… Carrier! {giveaway!}

I am in LOVE with this new print: Jewel!

Yep, it's true!  I couldn't fathom that I would love another carrier as much as I had fallen in love with the ones I've used in the past, but I have.  And it's all thanks to Beco! Oh yeah, those cute little sucking pads with taggies?  Those are from Red Charlotte! Since I received my new Gemini Baby Carrier from Beco, well, Moreaya has been in it probably once every 2-3 days at least.  I am so happy that she loves to be carried because it makes my life so much easier!  When I got my first soft structured carrier, Sophia was already walking and had already gained enough independence to not like being carried as much.  I carried Moreaya as an infant in a wrap and now I'm carrying her everywhere in our Beco! Where do you use your Baby Carrier?  So far, Moreaya's been on me in the grocery store {sooo much easier and safer than … [Read more...]
