What happens when five girls who have been best friends for the past eleven years get together to swap clothes? Lots of laughs, silliness, and fun! No, I wasn’t invited, but Princess borrowed my camera to take photos. First: the clothes. That’s a lot of clothes! Wait,…
Last week I wondered if the CPSC’s attack on slings would result in the end of babywearing. As I wrote I thought of our family’s experience with babywearing. As I said last week, Teacher and I were babywearing parents before we knew there was an official name for it. It…
