So this is going to be off topic from the Ryan Homes Blog but I feel like many of you, whom built your home around the same time I did, have something in common.
Kids.
Having my second child and being my my Ryan Home was a fantastic idea.
Both of my girls have so much space and I can't emphasize enough how safe we feel with our kids playing in the yard in our neighborhood.
Everyone in our Ryan community kind of looks out for one another and we help each other out in the winter when PA decides to throw some crazy snow at us.
Some of us in the community have found that our slopped driveways maybe aren't the most ideal and others (me) have been inspired to just buy a new vehicle that just destroys any "driving in the snow" problems that might exist.
Last winter was a BEAST.
But..that' s not what I hopped on to talk about.
I want to share my pure joy and delight for the Ergo Baby Carrier.
Seriously. I didn't have this thing with baby #1 and I swear my back paid for it.
But I have it for baby #2 and I have to tell you it's the best money in baby carriers I have ever spend. Literally...it is.
I have bought almost every baby carrier there was out there. I don't know how I missed this Ergo Carrier the first time around but I"m so glad I didn't miss it the second.
Right now, I have a snuggly little baby cuddled up to me and sleeping away and when I'm done typing here, I'll be able to easily slip out of my carrier and leave her to sleep in her bed for a couple of hours.
Aside from the close cuddly contact, my absolute FAVORITE FEATURE is one of the most simple things about it.
The Ergo Carrier has a little black cloth that you can pull up and snap to your shoulder straps.
The cloth covers the babies head and makes it almost completely dark.
THIS IS AWESOME!
I'm serious.
You have no idea how much I was just struggling to get this little baby bugger to take a nap and finally in a moment of desperation, I remembered this carrier.
I tried to put her on my back first but that just didn't work. She got more calm but she wasn't going into a trance.
So I switched her to the front carry withe carrier (cause you can do both) and BAM! in less than 5 minutes she was conked out and now here I'm typing about it.
Little black nap cloth covering her head and a little bundle between me and my computer...BUT at long LAST she is sleeping.
Once I realized I'd have some time after she feel asleep my pure joy and admiration for this baby carrier had to be shared.
Plus...if I let her get a little deeper into the sleep cycle while I rock back and forth and type this blogpost while standing at the kitchen counter (which I still love btw!) then I might have a chance of having more freedom today than I planned. (Freedom in regards to more time to blog my butt away!)
So there you have it.
An "off topic" blog post about my Ergo baby carrier because it is literally one of the best investments (aside from my home of course) that I have made.
Now...if I could just lose a little more weight and look sexy with this little bundle like those skinny mamas! ....then maybe I'd share a photo.
Haha!
I hope you have a great day!

ps...My horrible weight loss story is n't so horrible anymore! Boooyah!
