with her post, Mama Kanga, Baby Roo
For their Round 2 entries, The Sakura Bloom Styleathon bloggers were asked to create a look inspired by their sense of adventure or occasion -- and wowza, did they ever deliver the goods! I am so inspired, delighted, and amazed by these wonderful mamas and their gorgeous images and beautiful thoughts on babywearing and life. Here's a little preview, but be sure to click through to each blog to see every post in its entirety.
In her post, Natalie of NatTheFatRat pontificates as only she can, with quirky humor and grace to spare, on living the life of your dreams.
Against a stunning natural background, Danielle, of Sometimes Sweet,
talks movingly in her post about how babywearing has enriched her life.
"Miss" James, of Bleubird Vintage, offers a post full of tender thoughts about savoring closeness with her little one in a sling. And she rocks the heck out of a pair of Chloe heels.
and finds her sling to be the perfect aid to outdoorsy adventuring with Toby.
This time, Melisa, of The Lil Bee, bonds with her oldest daughter through
sling-wearing, and the importance of transforming everyday routines into magical adventures.
In a beautiful, sun-drenched post, Jen, of Jen Loves Kev, talks about how babywearing helps her to instill her daughter with a deep passion for adventure and living life to the fullest.
Please check out all the Round 2 posts, and let me know what you think! Who are your favorites? Which mama's words resonate most with your own experience? I would love to know your thoughts!
And don't forget to stay tuned for another Styleathon giveaway and the Round 3 Assignment...
Love Nat's. This round she is definitely the postess with the mostest. These mamas all look so gorgeous with their slings and babes. The raw silk is divine.
ReplyDeleteI was particularly moved by someone's comment about the feel of her daughter's hand gripping her arm and driving a little matchbox car across her collarbone. Those baby touches are one of the best aspects of motherhood. I smile to myself every time my baby boy nuzzles his nose into my chest when I'm wearing him. I wonder if he's breathing me like I do to him.
Gorgeous shots of mamas and their little ones. I must say the sling is by far the most stylish I've come across.
ReplyDeleteMJ, that comment about the matchbox car and collarbone on Melisa's blog really got me too! Such a perfect and perfectly real image.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Littlest and The Lil Bee... both are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThough the pictures in Sometimes Sweet's picture are breathtaking!
love all the pics! :)

I probably missed something, but wasn't there another blog in this Stylathon that is not featured in this post?
ReplyDeleteThey all look so lovely. I'm a regular reader of the Lil Bee and love today's post!
ReplyDeleteSofie, you are SO right! Good eyes ;) Sharmadean from London Momma is down with a bad summer cold right now, so we gave her an extra day or so to get her post to us. I'll update this roundup once she posts her Round 2 entry. Thanks for following along so closely!

ReplyDeleteOh how I miss the baby wearing days! Israel is so big now and wants to be down running all the time. We made it to about 18 months before it just didn't work.
ReplyDeletePlus, at nearly 30lbs, it's too hard for this mama.
But I look forward to this with our next one(s)!
