About Us


My name is Karen. I am a stay-home mother to Zach (4) and Blossom (11 months).


I fell in love with the wonderful simplicity of babywearing when Zach was born in 2005. With Zach in the sling I could go about my normal activities and at the same time respond to his frequent requests to nap, nurse and communicate with us. When out of the house, the sling was much less cumbersome than lugging around a stroller where you have to contend with stairs, narrow aisles and doors. But, above all, babywearing has helped me gain confidence as a mother and given me a deeper understanding of my baby’s innate need to be held, nurtured and comforted.
