Win a babywearing stash!

Win the Essential Babywearing Stash from Along for the Ride (one Beco Butterfly, one Hotsling baby pouch, one BabyHawk Mei Tai, one Zolowear Ring Sling, and one Gypsy Mama Wrap)



I love my ring sling and mei tai (the picture is Nathan enjoying the view from the mei tai)... but that doesn't keep me from wondering what I'm missing with pouches and wraps! :-) Definitely still room for exploration here...

Mark Twain on Friendship

The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.
- Mark Twain

This is slightly disturbing if you use CFLs

Because they contain mercury, if a Compact Fluorescent Light bulb breaks, you need to open a window and evacuate the room for 15 minutes, turn off the A/C, and (the following is for hard flooring, quoted from the EPA website, there are different instructions for carpet):

• Carefully scoop up glass pieces and powder using stiff paper or cardboard and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag.
• Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder.
• Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes. Place towels in the glass jar or plastic bag.
• Do not use a vacuum or broom to clean up the broken bulb on hard surfaces.
