Well, it’s official. I’m now the mother of a 5-year-old! This past week was our daughter Sydney’s birthday. We had an amazing day, just the four of us, our happy little family playing at a new park that we’d been wanting to go to, eating cake and playing with new presents. It was wonderful, peaceful, quiet and perfect. It’s also been an emotional one for me. I don’t know why. She gets older every year. But 5 seems like such a milestone, doesn’t it?
When I became a mom in 2011, one of my hardest realizations was understanding that if anything was to get done around the house, then it would no longer be with two hands. Heck, we’re lucky to get one hand sometimes, am I right, mommas? That’s when I discovered babywearing. It’s a game-changer (for me, anyways). Getting two hands back? AWESOME. Baby happy? Check. Momma happy? Oh, yes. Although I do own a simple sling and an ergonomic carrier, the Moby Wrap is by far my absolute favorite.
