Ways to Break In Your Woven Wrap

You are over the moon when the much-awaited fluff mail arrives at your doorstep and you just could not wait another minute to try your precious woven wrap.

Woven Wraps can have different blends like pure cotton, part cotton/part linen, part cotton/part bamboo, and so on. It also depends on the type of weave the wrap has. A type of weave can be Fort Knox tight and can be a bit stubborn for use.

Before you get your squishy little bubba into the uppy, it is highly recommended to break it in first so it will be more manageable and comfortable for you and your baby. Washing it first is a MUST.

Here are a few ways:

1) Iron

2) Braid

3) Hammock

*** I also knotted it around the crib railings. ***

4) Use as play mat or blanket

5) Regular use (and take unlimited selfies!)

Great Image Family Photoshoot

The Christmas Holiday is fast approaching and it is a perfect time for families to get their photos taken. There are many options to choose from and we got ours from Great Image Studios. We went to Beloved Studios in Megamall which is also a sub-company of Great Images. We were accommodated by their manager, A and Joan, the photographer. They made us feel at ease and were very patient with giving us instructions and they especially loved working with Baby G. I can definitely say they are experienced with handling little kids with their energetic process of capturing memorable shots. Their photoshoot session starts as low as 350php. Great deal, right? The photos below are our high resolution digital files and we got ours sooner than we expected. :) The D'Towns are looking forward to our printed shots - will post them as soon as we get them!

Wrappee: BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs Wrapper: small – chubby build –US size 10 First glance – Baby Sabye Mei Tai looked thick and a bit rough. This is my first time to try a mei tai and I had some reservations with the straps, the size where Baby G will “sit on” and if it can withstand Baby G’s weight on the get-go. When I tried tying the waist belt, it was crunchy and I made an effort to tighten the knot to secure it. The straps were thinner than the waist belt which was floppy and flexible. When I wore Baby G, it was an instant hit with us! ...

SAHM TV: TV Guilty Pleasures

Blog entry: TV Guilty Pleasure First of all, there's a whole lot of misconception that we, SAHMs, are "just" at home and that's all there is to it. We are busy Queen Bees in our own hives. We do chores, cook decent, edible (and sometimes 5-star quality *wink*) meals on top of handling little tykes. These darlings may be small but they can be a handful. As Stay-at-home Moms, we also need a break from our "workload" and we turn the TV on in hopes to see something that can take our mind off all the worries, chores and the list of other things we need to/want to do for the day (or even the next day!). What are your TV guilty pleasures? The kind of which you think you would not really like as much but then you suddenly find yourself following them. Back when I was single, I only had limited TV time and I just selectively watch what truly captured my interest. Here are my Top 5 TV guilty pleasures: 1.) Keeping Up with The Kardashians - ...
