Get Close with a Boba Carrier

I love baby wearing. I think its a wonderful way to snuggle up with your little one. Its a fast and easy way to carry your baby when doing a quick errand and using a carrier can be great exersise.

I had been using infant carriers for a while now but it was time for me to move to a carrier that was more suitable for my baby.

I was so delighted to try the Boba carrier with my little guy.

The Boba Carrier is an ergonomic soft carrier designed for babies and toddlers. It has two carrying positions. They are  front carry and back carry positions. It has a hip belt that distributes your childs weight evenly. The shoulders on the carrier are very well padded and take the pressure off your shoulders. To secure the carrier you simply snap it into place behind your neck if using the front carry position or at chest level if using the back carry position.

I was impressed with my new Boba carrier from the minute I opened the envelope it came in. I loved the packaging it came in. I proceeded to open the box and LOVED the green swirl pattern of my new Organic Boba Carrier.

I quickly read through my instruction manual and put it to the test right away. My little guy loved it right away.

This carrier is extremely easy to use.

Front Carry:

The carrying position I use most is the front carry position. Its very easy to get my 10 month old in and out of this position. I also love the hood on the carrier. My son has fallen asleep a few times when in the carrier. The hood is great for when this happens. It holds his head forward when he’s snoozing away.

Back Carry:

I also love the back carry position. Since my son is still small I do need my husband to get him in position on my back. I am confident that once he is bigger and can stand I will only need to have him “piggy back” me for a moment and I’ll have him snapped in place in no time.

Foot Straps:

A feature I really like about the Boba Carrier is the foot straps. These little foot straps are easy to get in the right place and easy to get little feet into. My son loves using the foot straps. I like them because it allows me to make sure he hasn’t lost his shoes and assures me that he’s sitting properly in the carrier.

Overall this carrier is of excellent quality. It is easy to use, is extremely soft and is compact. I highly recommend you check out this carrier if you are in the market for one.

Oliver’s Labels: My Stuff!

I must admit, I have always wanted to try out some cute labels for my daughter’s stuff. Over the years I’ve seen lots and lots of companies selling cool clothing, shoe and sippy cup labels. I came across Oliver’s Labels and thought they were pretty great, I just HAD to try these. 

Oliver’s Labels sent me a great trial pack for my daughter. She was overjoyed when she saw her name on all these cool labels with animal faces. She quickly began to tell me where to put them. Before I knew it, we had no labels left!

We received some Stick-eez clothing labels, original labels, mini labels and shoe labels. All the labels performed very well and stayed put on everything I stuck them on. 

The coolest thing about Oliver’s Labels is their Found-it™ tracking system. You can choose to have a code placed on your labels which is essentially a tracking number. If someone finds your item they can log onto Oliver’s Labels and the company will track you down to tell you where your missing item is.

Things I like the most about Oliver’s Labels:

• they stay put
• you can easily customize a package on their website
• they have many designs to choose from
• Found-it tracking system

As a mom and a teacher I know how important it is to label your children’s things. No one wants to lose a $20 sippy cup or a brand new ski jacket. These labels can help you identify your child’s things easily. They are very good quality labels and worth investing in.

Cute Thoughts…

I’m so excited to tell you about my latest find: Thought Spots!

Thought Spots are very cute peel and post messages that adhere to any clean and shiny surfaces. I find they stick best to mirrors. More great spots to adhere them is on bento lunch boxes and water bottles. 

The designs are bright, colourful and the sayings are super cute and inspiring. One of my favourite designs is the “You are my Fairytale Princess” Thought Spot.

There are 12 Thought Packs to choose from. From Create a Smile to Encouragement packs there is a perfect pack for any family. 

The Thought Spots are super easy to peel on and off and if taken care of they can last for years. You simply need to use a washcloth to wipe them clean and keep them in an enveloppe.

The Thought Packs make it easy to change your message often. I have changed the spot on my daughter’s mirror every morning and she is always excited to see what the “message of the day” is. 

Thought Spots are made in Canada and have won a  PTPA award.

Thought Spots are a great gift idea (I’m thinking of getting some as stocking stuffers!).
