Bay
Since becoming a mom, I’ve become a lot of things both to my child and in general.
Comedian.
Bearer of clean diapers.
Cleaner of dirty diapers.
Milk dispenser.
Pacifier.
Soothsayer.
Googler of rashes.
Googler of sleep habits.
Googler of baby milestones.
Wearer of babies.
Yes, you read correctly! Wearer of babies.
I’ve become slightly obsessed with baby carriers, mostly due to Jonah’s desire to be held and my desire to be able to multitask.
I cannot tell you how big of a difference it has made in my life to be able to wear Jonah in one of his carriers (yes, we’ve already accumulated multiple ones – I told you it’s an obsession)!
And honestly, it’s such a huge bonding experience for us with him in the carrier.
He even falls asleep in it quite regularly (think nap time, my friends).
There’s even a group that meets each month to educate moms and dads on all the different types and benefits of babywearing (FIRST COAST BABYWEARING GROUP).
That’s actually how I met Tiffany, the owner of WEARING IS CARING.
Tiffany just recently relocated her family and her business from Tampa to Jacksonville, and she has some beautiful woven wrap carriers by GIRASOL that are exclusive to her store.
She designed the “Bay” woven wrap after being inspired by the sunset over Tampa Bay, and it’s amazing how it really does remind you of the sunset over the water.
Here are a few of my favorites from our photo shoot!
The woven wraps go on sale Wednesday, February 4th at 6pm EST.
There are a VERY limited number, and THEY CAN BE PURCHASED AT THAT TIME BY GOING TO THIS LINK.
In the meantime, enjoy these photos!
Special thanks to Lindsay and her adorable daughter for their mad wrapping and modeling skills!:-)
Enjoy!

Calypso
In Greek mythology, Calypso is daughter of the god Atlas.
In Homer's Odyssey, Calypso holds Odysseus captive on her island, enchanting him with her singing as she weaves at her loom.
Our exclusive Girasol Calypso design is a 'child' of our Atlas woven pattern: a production mix-up led to unexpected changes in the original Atlas color layout.
The result is this wonderful new pattern in the same eye-catching colors, with the same hand-woven quality and excellent craftsmanship inherent in all Girasol carriers.
An extra-exclusive exclusive!
