Baby Wearing: What else to talk about?

I will say that since getting my iPhone Instagram has kind of taken the place of my blog.  I love posting pictures through our day!  I wonder if there is place where I can print my Instagram in book form like you can your blog?  Anyone know?  

I can't speak highly enough of baby wearing.  I know some people are against it, and that's okay, but for our family it is such a blessing!  Women around the world have worn their babies for centuries, and I am happy to carry on the tradition!  


 My babies are always soothed when I am wearing them, and especially after doing so much research and reading on the way that babies brains are developed (due to adoption stuff), I am even more of a believer in responding to your babies needs and making them feel as secure as possible at all times.

Yup, my most hippie picture yet.  Baby on my back, chai tea in my hand, tie-dye shirt (gift from our neighbor), and my hair in a braid (so that Fletch doesn't pull on it!).  But..we're happy!!

 I have worn lots of different carriers, but my favorites are my Moby (for when my babies are little), and now this Baby Hawk that I was gifted by a very sweet girl!  I wear Pike on my back, and he and I both love it! Now that he's in the stage where he's interested in everything and wanting to grab everything, a front carrier isn't very realistic around the house.  On my back he is happy, secure, and able to see everything that is going on, but is out of reach of everything (except my hair)!

He has fallen asleep in it several times....obviously he's comfortable and secure!



I was hoping that by bringing my blog up to speed from my 3 month blog sabbatical  I would be inspired to write more, be able to sort through the things of my heart and share them through my writing like I used to.  Unfortunately, as I sit and try to come up with something to write a post about I draw a blank.  I would love for those of you who (for some reason) still read my blog to ask me questions.  What would you like to know?  What would you like for me to share about?  What has been happening in your life?!

I really need to get in to instagram and figure it out so I can stay caught up with friends....

Would love to hear about a day in the life of homeschooling.

first of all, http://printstagr.am/
I'm not sure what all of the options are, I have only bookmarked it for future use. I would also like to hear about your homeschooling efforts. And if you are continuing your projects to support orphans etc... :)

I love the hippie look on you! :) haha

Here's some ideas for posts...

Having a biological child after adopting, homeschooling, your sister getting married!, being a Mom of 5 kids, how do you balance everything in your life :)

I've been MIA from the blog world myself and have missed it a lot. I'm enjoying catching up with you and seeing your posts again. I can't think of a question right now, but I always enjoy reading your posts! :)
