<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This restyle has been created in collaboration with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LivsWeavingCollection?fref=ts">Liv's Weaving Collections</a>. Olivia (the weaving goddess) hand wove this amazing wrap, and sent it to me for restyling into a Beetlebum! I feel so blessed and incredibly lucky to have had the honour of working with Olivia. I just CAN NOT WAIT to see what amazingness she creates!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Please note, this blog post was written mid 2012 and published on the Kanga Collective blog. It is not a new post, while the KC blog is down, I have re-posted it here. Thank you!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite what you might think, the subject of business ethics is real and thriving.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether you realise or not, it affects you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The industry of ethics is profound, with many a student and scholar debating on the topic. Ethics are important because they imply an investment in what a vendor/business has vested personally into their venture. Ethics are a code of conduct that you, as a member of the public can rely upon when dealing with your ethical vendor.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I am by no means a scholar. So to me, ethics are simple – they are doing what is ‘right’.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, let us discuss – What are Ethics, and What do they mean to You?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, we are now moving into ‘private vendor land’ here – this is the stuff that the public don’t and shouldn’t worry about. I’m talking about industry ethics here and what they mean so the topic has to be approached.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<div style="font-size: 10.833333015441895px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Design ownership</b> – is there an awesome design feature on another carrier that you are just itching to recreate? Even in your own way? You can do it just that 10% different, so it is ok, right??</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 10.833333015441895px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">No. Don't. It just is not O.K.</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Designers work really really hard to bring innovation and the most disrespectful thing anyone could do is to steal it. And to put it bluntly, it is theft. IP and Copyright Law protects such things. Pretending that you came up with the idea – and even if you *did* remarkably think of the idea – the fact remains. If it was done by someone first, the idea is NOT yours. Despite what many think, copying is not flattery or flattering, and it is hands down, not cool.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is an interesting argument here – I personally have had it thrown at me – if a product functions/appears different and WILL NOT BE CONFUSED with another, by the general public, then it is innovative and different. In our industry we have coined our own terms for certain parts of our carriers – the Hybrid Strap is synonymous with Bamberoo, the Wing Strap or Wrap Restyle is mine – Beetlebums. And there are so many others. Respecting (as a Vendor) what other Vendors have creatively named their innovations is pertinent – and it shows respect when one understands this. Just because it might not be trademarked, it isn't ok to use it. Ethically.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.833333015441895px; line-height: 15.989583015441895px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The internet has changed trading a lot – and shown the faults in jurisdiction quite significantly. There are specific examples where the belief that a certain protection covers in a blanket fashion has been detriment to the Vendor/s cause. It is worth noting too that it is illegal in many places to claim to have a patent pending when you don’t. I’ve learned a lot about this topic and it would bore the pants off you, let me tell you. But I can say that there is honestly very few inventions (which is what a patent covers) in the babywearing industry to be had. Innovations – sure, but actual INVENTIONS – nope. And if there is. Go ahead and protect yourself because there are unscrupulous people out there who will do anything for a buck, steal your invention/innovation and run with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don’t belittle another’s creativity. There is nothing to fear from others that are innovating, it propels your industry and empowers your own product.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a BIG topic for me. It is a no-brainer. There is nothing that will hold me back when it comes to unsafe carriers. I will PSA them, I will recall them and have in the past. There is nothing that I gain from that – I have replaced slings before because of a certain makers incredibly flawed design (with help from our wonderful community donating funds, and me my time). That took time from my business. And family. Which shows how important safety is to me. If it isnt to you, as a Vendor, then go make something like nappies or t-shirts, because babies lives are more important than yours. And this particular arena isn’t for you if you don’t feel the same way.</span></div>

<br />
Here is my contribution to <a href="http://fireflycollective.com.au/">Firefly Collectives</a> stocking tonight! Her name is Elemental Aurora and she is a full buckle OOAK Traditional (no headrest) Beetlebum in a standard size. The wrap I used was a Lago Old Standart from Didymos with countless hours of ice-dye work done by me using Procion Dyes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXMcS4yQmJ2a6PXtneGoR-muNbbbGpL6KSNv5Bo0aqyFUEW5O91nn7Ck0JfGw_uDKHtDHjyqBLEM4VCEBV8WKvvTOQkipAK5vdvin35PDSABcLqH-_ehk-qWflVGKUJfSdkLTNF3ByVts/s1600/382287_10151387447477834_2005347673_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXMcS4yQmJ2a6PXtneGoR-muNbbbGpL6KSNv5Bo0aqyFUEW5O91nn7Ck0JfGw_uDKHtDHjyqBLEM4VCEBV8WKvvTOQkipAK5vdvin35PDSABcLqH-_ehk-qWflVGKUJfSdkLTNF3ByVts/s320/382287_10151387447477834_2005347673_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
What you see here is a significant change to the Beetlebums waistband. It now cinches down to a teeny 25" and the buckle rests over padding, making it much more comfortable! I haven't changed anything with my design in years, so it is quite the occasion! The new design is infinitely better than the old :).<br />
<br />
Anyway, got lots to do, so must be off! The <a href="http://fireflycollective.com.au/">Firefly Collective</a> stocking will start at 8pm tonight, Elemental Aurora will be listed as a lottery (enter to win to purchase much like random.org) to give everyone a fair go. As she is being listed elsewhere, this carrier is available worldwide!<br />
<br />
Good luck tonight, and be sure to go look around at what the Firefly artisans have to offer!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16398991553799386554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716540986331832222.post-15643447020868324902013-02-14T12:48:00.000+10:002013-02-14T12:48:44.711+10:00the Beetlebums Ring Sling!<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You do know that I launched my Ring Slings last year. The shoulder is a personal *ah-ha* moment for me - you can see more information <a href="http://beetlebums.blogspot.com.au/p/ring-sling.html">here</a>.</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It isn't only the shoulder that rocks my world, the top stitching and label placement rock too :P. The label is placed at the center of the shoulder so you know exactly where to place the Ring Sling on, over either shoulder. The label should be at the edge of your shoulder, with both rails (edges) cupping your shoulder for ultimate support.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once again I am seeing 'similar' adaptations to my unique design, and I cannot stress enough that the original is always the best. Don't you know it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can buy Beetlebums Ring Slings at <a href="http://www.finelywoven.com.au/">Finely Woven</a>, and through my store when they are available. I do announce on my<a href="https://www.facebook.com/beetlebums?fref=ts"> Facebook page</a> and here on my blog when I have items ready for sale, so keep an eye out! I am having problems with my mailing list, so please bear with me while I start up a new one :D.</span></div>

Thank you goes to<a href="http://www.manduca.com.au/"> Manduca</a> and <a href="http://www.fertilemind.com.au/">Fertile Mind Australia</a> for bringing Ulrike from <a href="http://www.trageschule-dresden.de/">Die Trageschule </a>in Dresden, Germany to us, here in lil ol' Australia!! And just because Ulrike is so gosh darned awesome, I am learning German just so I can be as cool as her!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was such an amazing experience, and I am all the wiser for it! Since the course I have done two consultations, and am totally loving it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Included in our course was communication, and we focused on special needs children. I am a mother of a beautiful son who has Autism, and I shared my story with the class. Through the tears I felt happy and scared to share my experience, and Ulrike did something amazing for me. She applauded me. It made me weep so deeply, as this has been my (for lack of a better word) burden to bear. It has been lonely, it has been hard. I judge myself constantly, and although I am a very outwardly confident person, I felt such fear of judgment by others. It was such a momentous experience, and I have to admit that I felt kinda... weird when the class joined in applauding me. Then I felt grateful. Then I felt acceptance. I have an amazing circle of friends in my life that also live with Autism, and we live in our bubble. Our safe little bubble. I have never reached out to anyone who hasn't dealt with Autism in the past because there just is no way that anyone could ever ever ever ever understand. Ever. However now I have been proven wrong. There are people that don't live with Autism that want to understand. Hooray!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course we dealt with so much more than that. We covered SO much, it is overwhelming! I am practicing everything I learned (including the 'baby jail' :P) (sounds bad but it is a BWCC with a whole lot of AH-HA moments!) and just can not wait to share with the world what I am about. As an educator, I am bringing those who seek my services a holistic approach with more than a dash of fun.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So now while I talk about what I learned, I want to share with you what I saw today. I am shocked and saddened, as this is a post made by an (apparently) popular mother blogger (like how do you even DO that??). This is a prime example of what NOT to do</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look <a href="http://www.thewiegands.com/2013/02/baby-wearing.html">HERE</a> for the blogpost I am talking about.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is not ONE image that displays optimal positioning! Knees are NOT held above bottom height, in the squat-straddle position. There is ALOT of slack in the wrap. The images are just wrong wrong wrong.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flame me if you will but as an educator I have to highlight examples such as these, they show exactly what goes wrong when people don't read instructions or seek the advice of a more experienced babywearer.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And now for a perfect example of knee to knee support, crease free wrap over babies body, hands free baby wearing. Amen.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While I am here, I may as well share with you my new guidelines to safe babywearing. They are called the ALWAYS guidelines. They follow much of my education (yes! Baby Wearing is a big YES!), and are so easy to remember!</span><br />

<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>A</b>
– <b>Always</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">wear your baby high enough to kiss the top of their head in a front
carry, in a back carry, high enough to touch their forehead with the
nape/occipital bone on your head if you look upward.</span></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>L</b>
– <b>Learn</b></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
with your baby! Baby Wearing is a wonderful bond and when you take
it slowly and choose a good time of day to try new carries, like
after baby has rested or eaten, you will be assured success! Use a
mirror, practice over soft surfaces, ask a friend to 'spot' you.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>W</b>
– <b>Wear</b></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
your sling or baby carrier tightly. There should be no loose fabric
over babies back, buckles should be tightened, baby should be held
firmly to your torso. This ensures that not only will baby stay
where you want them to in the carry, and not slump down, but that you
will be more comfortable.</span></span></div>

– <b>Airways</b></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
should be clear. You should not hear any grunting. Babies head
should not be resting on his chest. There needs to be at least a
fingers width between babies chin and chest.</span></span></div>

– <b>Squat
Straddle</b></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
– your babies legs should be in the 'M' position (aka Squat
Straddle), with his spread knees above his bottom. The carrier
should travel from the hollow of the knee all the way to the opposite
knee. This is called 'Optimal Positioning' and must be adhered to
for babies best development.</span></span></div>

I love me a good ring sling. I think that they are the unsung hero of the baby wearing world. </h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are very easy to use, once the basic skill level is mastered. Ring slings are commonly recommended from birth - they are completely wonderful for newborns and toddlers alike. My friend Jillian at PAXbaby has some wonderful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUqTjSLP9OWEGoz4RKX21JNw" target="_blank">YouTube videos</a> on how versatile a ring sling can be.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some may know that last year I launched the Beetlebums Ringsling! It has a unique shoulder which cups the wearers shoulder like a glove.</div>

The always amazing Suse from <a href="http://www.finelywoven.com.au/collections/beetlebums" target="_blank">Finely Woven</a> is the only vendor to stock the Beetlebums Ring Sling. I mean, I might occasionally stock the odd one or two in my store however Finely Woven is the place to go if you are looking for (what I think is) the very finest in ring slings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I love to create, not only for Beetlebums, but for my home.</h4>
<br />
I have re-upholstered lounges, restored antique chairs and an Art Deco dining table along with making many soft furnishings to decorate my personal sanctuary.<br />
<br />
Just this week I finished my very own quilt for my bed. I made it using many and varied wrap scraps, and upcycled my grandmothers sheets - that I slept between as a young young child, mind you!<br />

I have also been creating on ME! I am a hairdresser by trade, and love playing with hair (of course!), so six months ago (two days ago!) was my dreadlings birthday. I know dreadlocks are not to everyones taste, but hey - each to their own. And yes, I wash them twice a week :D<br />

This is a very special full buckle baby carrier that I made as a semi-custom. I used Natibaby Red/Grey Swallows. I love how the wrap translates differently on both sides - the head rest is a really striking accent.</div>

2013 brings big changes for me, my family and Beetlebums. This year I will be focusing on instock carriers - and sewing on particular days only. As those in Facebook land know, I have Laura on board, who will continue to work on the admin front, leaving me plenty of time to do what I love most. Creating individual, special baby carriers annnnnnnddddd....</div>

I had a bit of a break from making nappies. There were personal reasons for this, the main one however being that I needed a change of pace. So I focused on making baby carriers. Anyway, now I am back in the seat and have minky and Procare flying around my sewing room like crazy!<br />
<br />
You might also notice that I am gradually changing my logo. What you see ^^ up there, is the new logo - designed for me by the awesome Suse from <a href="http://www.finelywoven.com.au/" target="_blank">Finely Woven</a>. I just love it, don't you?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just a gentle reminder that I will not be making customs at all from this point on. This doesn't mean that anything I make will be less special though! Add to that the fact that there is no wait time, this is going to be a great year for you to get your hands on anything Beetlebums.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is an AWESOME piece of goss that I am just busting at the bit to share - a new and wonderful opportunity for me and I am thrilled to be involved - keep an eye on the blog and on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/beetlebums" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> for updates!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There will be more Beetlebums/<a href="http://paxbaby.com/" target="_blank">PAXbaby</a> exclusive <a href="http://exclusivegirasol.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Phoenix" target="_blank">Girasol</a> baby wraps - like Phoenix, which I designed in 2012.</div>

So in 2013 I will blog more. MUCH more! Hooray!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am working on finishing the Anthracite Houndstooth semi-custom, there is about half an hour or so's worth of work left there. Then I will start working on a very special auction carrier for a special family. 100% of the proceeds will go to the family to help them through the most difficult time in their lives. Their precious little one grew wings and left our earth far too soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will have pictures and details soon, and as this auction is not to profit me in any way I am opening it up internationally.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There may be more coming from me, and some friends who are collaborating to create a gorgeous package for the winner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please, dig deeply. The carrier will be made with love an inspiration, as this subject is so close to my heart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I pray for the family and know that together, our community can bind together and support them the best we can.</span></div>

I will be talking briefly about the safety/how to choose/basic Optimal Positioning when it comes to baby carrying. This is the pilot plan that will eventually be run out throughout Australia!<br />
<br />
I will then be available to assist individuals with their own questions or tweaks they might need, and advising on what carrier one might need in relation to their needs.<br />
<br />
This is not to promote Beetlebums in any way - in fact, just to prove it, I will not even bring one with me. This is part of the Kanga Collective 101 sessions!! The carriers that will be there are provided by those who have kindly donated to the Kanga Collective Carrier Library, along with some examples of ideal baby carriers. Kanga Collective Advocacy Bags will also make their debut, with the participants being given one to take home with them.<br />
<br />
If you are in the area and would like to come along and learn all about the HOW and WHY when it comes to babywearing, then please come along to the Toowoomba Library, from 9.30am this Friday 11th May.<br />
<br />
Remember - Babywearing Education bring Baby Wearing Elation!<br />

Ciao for now!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716540986331832222.post-92140839085837829352012-03-09T20:20:00.000+10:002012-03-09T20:20:02.418+10:00The Golden Ticket - Das Trageschule in Australia!Wow is all I can say - I have been invited by <a href="http://http://www.manduca.com.au/">Manduca Australia</a> and <a href="http://http://www.fertilemind.com.au/">Fertile Mind</a> to participate in a Das Trageschule Babywearing Consultants course, facilitated by none other than the founder of the famous European School, Ulrike Hower. There are just ten experienced babywearing advocates invited, so yes - after watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just the other night, I feel like I won a Golden Ticket.<br />
<br />
So, in April, ten keen, excited and curious women will converge in Sydney. Quite a few of us have known eachother for years online. How awesome to experience this all together! Not to mention the sleepover, geeking out over carriers and the classes, food, chatting and... Maybe cocktails? <br />
<br />
THEN, on April 14, there is a free Babywearing Masterclass in which babywearing enthusiasts and professionals from all over the country will meet!! Once again - loads of women I've known for years online will be standing in front of me!! Hugs abounding!!<br />
<br />
The best part of course is the fact that this amazing opportunity has been given to us - not just those participating but ALL of Australia. This is the first major event here in our country in relation to babywearing only, and only good can come from such a great education.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to blog my brain off about this - I am so excited and feel humbled and honoured to be invited!

Brie has written a fantastic post about carrier safety and what you need to know to ensure the carrier/s that you use are safe.<div><br />
</div><div>She made an awesome point - 'Babywearing is safe however not all baby carriers are'. How very apt that statement is.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So please, <a href="http://blog.tinokislings.com/2012/02/another-safety-post.html">click here on Tinoki</a> and absorb her wise words, your precious baby is worth the extra minute it takes to check over your baby carrier/s.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Also, if you haven't visited and joined <a href="http://forum.kangacollective.com/index.php">Kanga Collective</a> - what are you waiting for? The mystery prize will be drawn in literally days, and there is lots of action and chatter. It is Australia's new Baby Wearing Forum, along with a fantastic Wiki and blog. Speaking of which, if you have a great article that you would like to submit to either the Wiki or the Blog then please join up and submit!</div><div><br />

<br />
It is real - Australia and New Zealand now has their own Baby Wearing forum. I know I said Aus/NZ however it is really for all walks of life. Anyone who appreciates the practice of babywearing. Anyone who loves holding their baby close. Anyone who is close to having a baby, who wants to know more about this amazing parenting tool.<br />
<br />
Kanga Collective has been a collaborative effort between quite a few people who all feel the same way. It has been, and will continue to be, alot of work. Such fun and fulfilling work it is. I am popping at the sides!<br />
<br />
So, you know you want to - you will find it <a href="http://forum.kangacollective.com/">here</a>. (click on 'here').
