Babywearing

Babywearing is carrying your baby using a baby carrier. Babies are born with the need for touch and closeness and using baby carriers allows parents and care givers to provide that nurturing touch, but with the convenience of being hands-free.

Wrapper’s Paradise 2012

April 6, 2012

It’s stunning! This year we are so happy to be partnering with Didymos for the Wrapper’s Paradise 2012.

Why a Vatanai Woven Wrap?

January 22, 2012

There are a few reasons why Vatanai woven wraps make the best choice for beginner wrappers and also those in warm weather. While I do also love other woven wrap brands such as Neobulle (sadly no longer available in the USA unfortunately), Storch and Girasol, as well as Didymos. And I have my fair share [...]

Vatanai Blues/Brown

December 28, 2011

Vatanai Blues/Brown is here at Granola Babies and it’s so different than other Vatanais! When they said it was “thick” they meant it. It has three color threads in it and it does in fact feel like it has one more layer of thickness to it than other Vatanai. I can see now why it’s [...]

Beco Butterfly II – Shoulder Straps How-to

August 16, 2011

Looks can be deceiving when it comes to the Beco Butterfly II shoulder straps. At first glance, they look like you can just pull on them to adjust, but you can’t. It can be hard to adjust them at first, so to make it easy I’ve made this video demonstrating how to adjust the shoulder [...]

One short wrap, two kids, two carries

August 9, 2011

The OC Fair comes only once a year. And it lasts a few weeks, but we only go for one of those days as a family and we spend hours at the Fair. However, I have small kids, so they do tend to tire out after a while and though we take a stroller for [...]

Summertime Babywearing – Keeping it cool

May 23, 2011

Ah, summer is here and the sun is out. We love summer, but sometimes babywearing + summer = sweaty and hot. This doesn’t mean that babywearing has to end in the summer time. We’ve used baby carriers all summer long in both hot and humid climates as well as dry heat. Here are our cooler [...]

Why Every Mother Should Own a Ring Sling

April 29, 2011

Babywearing has been a huge part of my parenting experience and I credit much of my success at still being able to accomplish simple day to day tasks, especially when it comes to leaving the home with a 2.5 year old and 6 month old, to my ring sling. As someone who only heard of [...]

I’m just a normal (granola) mother.

April 20, 2011

I’m a bit of a modern day hippie – after all, Granola Babies isn’t called Granola Babies for nothing. I don’t look like one (at least I don’t think so…says she who wears Birks every single day of the year). But, in reality I’m no different than mothers worldwide. Let me explain.
