Tuesday's Two - Babywearing

Today I'm going to feature my two most favorite babywearing stores. I will admit that there are several I love but these are the two I frequent the most.

Sakura Bloom Ring Slings * www.sakurabloom.com

I was first introduced to Sakura Bloom by my dear friend Carrie. I had tried ring slings with Moriah and failed every time. Then Carrie moved to the area and she showed me how to use them and it's been true love ever since. I always loved the simple look of Sakura Bloom slings and dreamed of one day having one... then she gave me one as a baby gift when I was pregnant with Isaac. My two favorite babywearing pictures with Isaac are with this sling. In fact, Mark took one of them and I entered a photo contest and won my second Sakura Bloom which happens to be my most supportive sling I have. It's just stunning and I love all the colors. I really love the support of these ring slings. They are double layer and high quality fabrics which make them great for not just the newborn stage but for toddlers too. I often find myself using them with Moriah too as a simple hip carry when she's too tired to walk. It makes it so much easier on my back too to not have to actually carry her on my hip, plus it leaves me hands free! =)



Slings I Love * www.slingsilove.com
Looking for a place that has a bit of everything? Slings I Love is the place to go. Giselle is a local friend of mine and I was so excited when she decided to start selling her favorite carriers since she loves many of the same carriers as I do and means that I can try out new things before buying them too. For those who are local to me she's also a great instructor so she helps with really learning how to use your purchase and to help you figure out what works best for you. She carries many of my favorite brands in wraps, mei tais, ring slings (including Sakura Bloom), pouches, buckle carriers and so much more. She's really sweet and eager to help everyone find the love of babywearing that we both have.
