Soul Meh Dai

My first encounter with a Soul Meh Dai was way back in June 2016. We had a beautiful blue one visit the library. It arrived to my house and obviously was tried out as soon as the package was ripped open!   From that moment I knew I wanted one of my own. I had

Soul Bags and Sustainability

I recently received a Suma toddler full buckle from Soul Slings. When looking at the description of it on their website it describes this beautiful hand block printed carrier, as well as all their other carriers as possibly showing "colour variations, loose threads, tiny slubs, snags or unevenness that are characteristic of natural fibre textiles.

Review: Jacq & Rose Tri Tanote Teal

Back when the weather was colder and wetter.....Oh wait. No. Back when the weather was colder........Nope still not right. Back in November 2016 when the weather was much like it is now, I had the pleasure of hosting Tri Tanote Teal by Jacq and Rose. In my new "just write and let the words come" phase

Review of Barbarian by Coco-N

I've never reviewed a wrap before. I know a lot of wrap lingo - weave, bounce, cush, stretch, picky etc. - and even what most of the words mean. Sometimes I even use them in the correct context (self high five!) but generally I worry that I will use them wrong and seem foolish. But

Unwrapping a wrap

I've never owned an Ali Dover. I have tried and loved several but don't have one to call my own (yet). On release day I tried for Sweet for my amazing friend while others tried to get a Steel for our library. We were all unsuccessful. When I managed to grab one of the cancellations

Why I started baby wearing

“So Twins!” WHAT?!!!!!
