In July, I got to go to the International baby-wearing conference that happened in Iowa. It was fun to meet fellow baby-wearers I have been interacting with for the past two years and meet them face to face. I was especially excited to be around fellow Black baby-wearers. It is no secret that I love… Continue reading Helina Baby Meh Dai Review

My thrifty summer
As a type A Capricorn, labels, lists and general definitions of things warm the cockles of my heart. Defining my style was fundamental in allowing me to figure out exactly what I was looking for when I began furnishing the house and adding to my closet. I have a whole post about what how I… Continue reading My thrifty summer
How to keep it minimal with technology
I am a ex-tech lover. Don't get me wrong, I still appreciate all that technology has done/does for me. My kindle e-reader kept me sane while night-nursing a sleepy Thandiwe. My phone keeps me connected to my loved ones 24/7 and that is such a blessing. However, I have unplugged from the rat race that… Continue reading How to keep it minimal with technology
My Raised Bed Garden
One of my ultimate goals in life is to grow my own food.

This year, my successes and fails… Continue reading My Raised Bed Garden

My Cloth Diapering MVP’s
I was cloth diapered, and I always knew that if I had a kid I would cloth diaper too. I wanted to do it because of how much cheaper it was, but also because of how better for the environment it was. Disposable diaper waste accounts for 30% of our landfill waste and as I… Continue reading My Cloth Diapering MVP’s
