Shout out Friday

You pock up some new talrnts when yiu have a nww born babt.

Such as typung onw handrd.

I'm prdtyy good at it, if I do sqy so myswlf.

Seriously. They always want to be held.

And if I could have it my way, I'd hold 'em all the doo long day.

But alas, I have a litter of kids, so no sitting all day with the cute

& cuddly baby. Moms have tried so many different things to fix this.

I myself own a Snugli, Baby Bjorn,

some kind of new born sling & The Mother Wrap.

Wow, quite a collection.

But each of these requires some commitment to wear,

or space in the diaper bag, or only fit for a few months.

I love each one I own. They each have a different use.

But I've always wanted one of these guys.

(See below)

They are $50 on the website I've seen them on.

$34.99 on Etsy. But a friend of mine had one,

& she let me copy the measurements.

I fooled around with it, and figured out a super easy pattern.

Only $8 in fabric & 20 minutes of my time.

Yup, they are so easy it was only 20 minutes to make.

They are wide enough to use as a blanket,

have a curve to fit the kid's bum,

can be used as a sling (Elliott is too long already for that),

& I can also carry Charly around on my hip or back.

They are so easy to put on, and take up no space.

Sigh. I'm in love.

So yes, I folded laundry, cleaned the kitchen,

& other stuff, all with my cute wittle bebe on my hip.

She loves it. She gets to be held, & I get things done.

Woo Hoo for the Mommy!!
