Katie — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:21:55 +0000

Congratulations to Erin of Ocala, Florida who has won our August baby sling give away. She has chosen a Dark Chocolate with Kona Ergo Baby Carrier. Erin has a two year old that has long outgrown her baby sling, but still loves to be carried.

The Ergo Baby Carrier is the perfect choice for older babies and toddlers. It fits much like a traditional backpack while evenly distributes the weight of your baby to your hips and shoulders. This is truly one of the easiest baby carriers to use with adjustable waist and shoulder straps. The sleeping hood is perfect for securing your little ones head while you are on the go.

Make Your Home Green with Natural Cleaning Supplies

Once you found out you were pregnant, you started taking the best possible care of yourself. You took prenatal vitamins, drank plenty of water, and ate a healthy well balanced diet. All of that is great, but have you considered exposure to toxins from the environment. It is never too late to reduce exposure to potential toxins, and household cleaners are a great place to start.

You may be wondering if non-toxic cleaners really get your house clean, and they do. Not only are there many green cleaners available on the market, you can make many yourself. Use baking soda as a scouring agent on non-scratch countertops, bathtubs, and sinks. Vinegar or lemon juice make a great cleaner for wooden chopping blocks. Make a vinegar and water solution to clean windows and mirrors.

Win a free pair of BabyLegs by telling us about your favorite green cleaning tip. Earn extra entries by:

June Baby Sling Give Away

Katie — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:47:05 +0000

We are a little behind the time with posting our give away winners, but for good reason. I have recently welcomed a new little baby into my life!

This months winner is Chelsea from San Diego, CA. She has chosen the fabulous Moby Wrap. The Moby Wrap is my favorite baby carrier for newborns and young babies. Wraps are one of the best ways to wear little ones because you can truly secure their heads. This makes a wrap a good choice for parents with an older toddler too, since you will be busy trying to keep up with your toddler while caring for your newborn.

She is sure to love the light weight fabric of EllaRoo wraps which makes them easy to manipulate while tying. The Kristen Wrap is simply stunning with complimentary blue and green hues. Happy Babywearing!

Heather of Essex Junction, VT has chosen the Flutterby Blue BabyHawk Mei Tai. She plans on using her mei tai when her daughter is fussy and wants to be held. Then she will be able to have her close and get some work done around the house. Heather is already thinking about the next addition to their family too! She knows a great baby carrier will help keep her baby close while chasing after her toddler.

Mei tais such as the BabyHawk Mei Tai can be used from birth through approximately 40 lbs. We especially like them for babies older than 4 months or with head control. They are a great baby carrier that can be used for different sized parents and worn most comfortably on the front or back. Visit us at La Stella Blu to view all of our mei tai carriers.
