Walk in a Working Momma's shoes

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 Check this tutorial:  How to braid a woven wrap 3 ) Hammock       *** I also knotted it around the crib railings. *** 4) Use as play mat or blanket 5) Regular use (and take unlimited selfies!)

As you go through my wrap-ventures (more coming soon), it is noticeable that the Dtowns has only one wrap. It’s Forest Green (100% cotton blend) by a local retailer Little Snuggie Baby, owned by a Mom-preneur and handwoven with love by a native from the heavenly highlands of Benguet. It took us some time to find The One as there are a wide variety of carriers out there.

The wrap fits all categories (for us) because it can be gender neutral, flexible with different types of carries and it can grow with you until toddlerhood which, I can say, a big bang for your buck. Wraps, though, depending on type and brand, can be pricey so watch out which one you may want to get. They also come in different lengths, types of material and gorgeous designs (that I can talk about ALL day!). As the new kids on the parenthood block, Mr. Dtown and I would like ...

Before meeting "D'One" or Mr. D'Town, I was always on-the-go; I could not stay put and always  had plans; never stayed home. Barely. I got a regular day shift schedule with a fun-filled (and sometimes stressful) workplace that had its own twists and turns. Adding a crazy, fun team and manager to work with! If I am not out and about (or stuck in traffic), I work out almost religiously every day. I used to run 5K around the neighborhood for about 3 times a week  then shifted to Insanity Workout. I also gradually gave up rice and"regular" food. I took advantage of the time when my wisdom tooth was extracted and took up juicing and blending raw veggies/fruits for nourishment. I was at the prime of my life just before turning "the BIG 3-0". I met Mr. D'Town through common close friends and in a flash, we were together and Baby G just magically popped into my bun. Haha! Getting pregnant got me thrown off my daily routine of workouts ...
