Ella Belly: Baby Carriers

So as many of you know I just got on a severe babywearing kick! I was looking for a great, comfortable carrier and wouldn't you know it that one of my fellow Babycenter mommas makes amazing ones!?I'm so happy to do this blog because I love this carrier so much!
The momma I was referring to is Kelly and she's is a WAHM to a beautiful little girl named Ella! An awesome momma to work with. She did an excellent job on my custom Click!

How lucky for me that she was accepting testers for her new half buckle mei tais!! I sent her my own fabric because I'm insanely picky and she did a GREAT JOB! This carrier is not only fashionable but it's comfortable for me & my baby!

Some of my favorite features of my Ella Belly Click:
The padded waist strap! super comfy and easy on my back!
The padded leg holes for baby! In other carriers she would get marks on her legs, not now!
The click function for sure! So much easier and less bulky than tying! Easy on, Easy off.
The stretch and supportiveness! It gives enough but is still sturdy enough for my 25lb one year old.
and that's just to name a few! This has easily become my go to carrier from going to the grocery store, walking the dogs or my upcoming trip to the zoo!

Here is some website info on Ella Belly Carriers!

Ella Belly Mei Tai carriers start at $85. The Ella Belly CLICK retails for $105. Simply choose two fabrics and a coordinating strap color from our gallery to create your own unique Ella Belly!

Here's where to buy!

A little more about Kelly (In Kelly's words):

After my daughter Ella was born, I started babywearing right away. I tried ring slings, pouch carriers, structured buckle mei tais, wraps and just about everything in between. My husband was a good sport and tested out all the carriers right along with me. It took me a few months to figure out which ones worked the best for us.
Ella loves to be close to me and Daddy (and now her Grandparents even wear her!). But it can be downright exhausting to hold a baby in your arms all day long. Plus, it’s nearly impossible to get anything done! That’s why I adore babywearing. I can keep Ella close and happy while grocery shopping, running errands, doing laundry—all hands-free!

I’m a huge proponent of babywearing. I know it has saved my sanity so many times it’s hard to count. It’s hard to imagine how people get through motherhood any other way. My philosophy is, “You can either wear your baby out, or they’ll wear you out.” I can tell you, Ella and I are both a lot happier when I wear her!

I hope you’ll find as much success with babywearing as I have, and that your Ella Belly carrier will take you through as many wonderful moments as mine has.

The Benefits of Baltic Amber Jewelry

I recently was picked to receive an amber necklace from the company Inspired by Finn. I ordered it initially for my daughter because she's teething and the amber is supposed to help with that, but the more I read the more I'm wondering if I should order another one for myself as well!


So you're wondering how can a stone help with teething?

Well Baltic Amber is not a stone! It is actually fossilized tree resin. It has been used in Europe for many years because of it's healing past. For centuries Baltic amber was revered as one of the world's leading medicines. Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways. When worn against the skin the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin.

So why am I considering ordering another one for myself?

Baltic Amber can also help with pain management! Baltic amber contains analgesic properties and helps take the edge off of many types of discomfort associated with dental issues, headaches, joint pain, ect. So if you have arthertis this Amber's for you!

Can help strengthen the immune system! In many different and subtle ways, succinic acid helps boost the body's own natural healing ability and immune system.

Has been known to help maintain wellness! When the human body reacts to stress, the body’s cells begin to use oxygen more quickly. Oxygen plays a central role in the intercellular creation of energy, and a lack of oxygen can result in feeling lethargic.

Oxygen is alkaline-forming in the blood and maintaining a slightly alkaline blood ph helps keep us healthy. Whenever the body functions in a state of low oxygen, it is much more susceptible to illness.

Last but not least, it can help break the cycle of chronic inflamation! Where chronic inflammation is present, disease lurks.
When the body’s cells are chronically inflamed the human body’s immune system response is to increase production of free radicals. Chronic overproduction of free radicals results in inflammatory-related disease. Chronic inflammation is a common denominator of many seemingly unrelated diseases.

While I'm not saying wearing a couple pieces of jewelry can cure all your ailments these are just the proven benefits, and known uses of baltic amber!
