Four Baby Carriers and How I Use Them
(Photo from my daughter’s favourite book ‘Welcome, Baby’ – I think the parent on the left is wearing an Ergo 360 🙂 ) In her first year of life, I’ve really enjoyed carrying my daughter around in one of our four baby carriers. Once I figured out how to use them properly, I liked the […]
Keeping Babies (and Kids) Warm in a Car Seat
There are some things I like about winter: delicately falling snow, hot chocolate, and the fireplace channel on my TV. Then there’s the annoying things: the cold, the wrestling kids into winter gear, and keeping everyone toasty warm.

6 Things I’ve Learned from Flying with a Baby
