So with 2 girls and a 2 week old I had to find a way to free up my hands a little. You know, so that I could, cook, clean and do a little laundry I remembered that I had a baby carrier tucked away in the basement and searched high and low until I found it. My carrier is a MAYA WRAP adjustable pouch which has now been continued. I do have to say that I LOVE this carrier. I got it when my youngest daughter came home from the hospital and wouldn’t stop crying, she was diagnosed with Gerd and the only way I could quiet her was to carry her…yes All day, every day…and to this day she is pretty touchy feely. My 2 week old didn’t take to the carrier at first but now he loves it! The great thing is that you can multi-task, nurse the baby, walk around, fold laundry etc….

Here is a little info from their site which explains the benefits of their carriers(Maya Wraps)…

Maya Wrap Product Features

Cool: All of our baby carriers are 100% cotton and are comfortable in hot weather. Our fabrics look the same on both sides, eliminating the need for sewing two fabrics together to hide the wrong side of a fabric. One layer of fabric is cooler than two layers and allows for better air flow to help keep your baby from becoming over-heated.

No Bulk: Our carriers (except the Lightly Padded Sling) have no padding. The Lightly Padded Sling has a small amount of padding in the shoulder. This means all of our carriers are not bulky. They fit easily into your diaper bag or purse when you are on the go. The Maya Tie uses slightly more fabric but will still fit nicely into a larger diaper bag or backpack.

Comfortable: Our Slings distribute baby’s weight across your back for a comfortable, secure fit. Wearing two MamaBaby slings allows you to distribute baby’s weight over both shoulders for extra comfort. The Maya Tie distributes baby’s weight over both shoulders and your hips for ultimate comfort. It is excellent for heavier children or babywearing for long periods of time. Unlike other woven cottons, our hand-loomed fabrics “give” for a more comfortable fit while still being supportive.

Versatile: All of our baby carriers are usable in a variety of positions for newborns and toddlers. Our slings grow with your baby over time. Wearing two MamaBaby slings makes it possible to wear your newborn in a high “burp” position. The Maya Tie can also be used for a very comfortable and secure back carry.

Adjustable: All of our products come in a range of sizes and are fully-adjustable, ensuring a perfect and secure fit every time! Our carriers can be tightened over a wide range. Frequently both parents can share one carrier even if they are different sizes.

Discreet: You can breastfeed in all of our baby carriers. For those who prefer to breastfeed discreetly, the tails of our slings can be used as a cover up. When selecting a sling, if nursing coverage is not important to you, you may prefer to select a size smaller. The smaller size will have a shorter fabric tail past the rings.

Ok, my girls have curly hair, VERY curly Hair and I searched high and low for products that would moisturize and de-frizz their hair. After finding a hairdresser that had the “same” hair as us, she led us to these wonderful products by “Miss Jessies”! We haven’t used anything else…and won’t. Their products make my girls hair manageable, frizz free, and makes them PROUD to have curly hair! A big thank you to Everyone at Miss Jessie’s for creating awesome products!

Here is a little about their site and their products!! AWESOME!!!!

ABOUT MISS JESSIE’S

In 1997 sisters Titi and Miko opened Miss Jessie’s Salon to respond to the demand for expertise in natural hair and naturally curly hair. Their experience with curls started over 20 years ago. Born to a Japanese mother and African-American father Titi and Miko had a head full of hair that was multi textured. “Back then our parents were attending school so this left little time to care for our hair” lamented Titi.

At that time going to a Japanese salon was not an option. Salons that catered to Black hair were more interested in taming what they thought was unruly hair. This usually meant relaxer straight styling or greasy hot combing. Visits to salons that catered to straight hair was always an adventure as they watched the stylists eyes bulge with fear due to their lack of experience with varied hair textures. ” So , if we wanted to look cute on picture day we had to do it ourselves!” They have been doing hair ever since.

The Salon soon became the go-to place for natural and naturally curly hair attracting clients nationwide. In 2004 Miss Jessie’s Products were introduced consisting of styling cremes, moisturizers and deep conditioning treatments. From the very beginning it was always about listening to our customers, understanding their issues with their natural and naturally curly hair and finally offering the Miss Jessie’s product line that helps our customers overcome the issues that they traditionally face.

With the introduction of Curly PuddingTM, Curly ButtercremeTM, Curly Meringue®, Baby ButtercremeTM, Unscented Curly PuddingTM and now Rapid Recovery Treatment®, Miss Jessie’s products soon garnered a cult following and continues to be a market innovator in the natural hair and naturally curly hair segment.
