I would love to learn more about babywearing a toddler and how to get a toddler to do a back carry. I also love to learn about cloth diapering since it’s really new to me. Thank you!
I would like to learn what it is like to transition from having toddlers at home to children attending school full-time.
Sounds great.
I want to learn more about how to adapt from having toddlers at home to having 2 school-aged children. Thanks so much!
Sorry for the double comments, I replied on my iphone (originally) and did not see my original post when I came to look at your blog on my desktop as it is pending approval.
No problem 🙂
My wife is on bed rest currently (36 weeks pregnant) and might not be able to go. She has asked me to go in her place to learn about the baby wearing options. Hoping for a chance to win! Thanks.
