"budu unisex baby carrier"Baby wearing was one of those things that passed me by.  I did briefly look in to it but found that some carriers were a bit too girly so my husband would never use it and others just didn’t look easy enough to put on by myself.  With all the other stuff you have to deal with when you first have a baby, I soon forgot about getting a carrier.  Looking back I can think of so may occasions where one would have been a life saver.  Like the many times I traveled on my own to India.  I came to dread the whole security scenario where I had to take off my shoes, coat and then take my baby out of the pram and hold her while trying to fold the pram and carry the hand luggage and all the time wishing for an extra pair of hands.  I think it would have been very useful around the house too.  When Anya was crying I could have easily carried her and still had my hands free but instead, I had to stop whatever I was doing and soothe her before getting back to my chores."budu stylish baby carrier"So today I wanted to introduce you to the stylish Budu baby carrier and I’m giving one away to one lucky reader (read on for the giveaway details).  The budu baby carrier probably would have been the one for me had it been available at the time.  I love the whole clean, modern vibe and I know my husband would have happily worn it too.  Apart from the looks, the carrier is made of natural soft bamboo fabric, vegetable tanned leather straps and looks super easy to wear.  Even if you’re past the baby years, this would make a great gift for any new or expectant mum.  The Budu baby carrier is the creation of Danielle, a model, a mum and now a designer too.  In addition to the carrier,  Danielle has just added a beautiful nappy bag to her collection.  Even if you’re not the lucky winner, as a special bonus, Danielle is offering all my readers a 20% discount on any carrier.  Just use the code: ebabee at checkout.

"classic converse trainers"I clearly remember the day that I got my first pair of converse shoes as a teenager.  I seriously thought I was the coolest kid on the block.  They were bright pink (of course!) with high-tops and I don’t think I ever took them off.  All my friends had them and I really felt that I had arrived!  Looking back, I think the bright pink was way over the top but I was 13 or 14 and clearly not as cool as I thought I was!  Even though I’m not much of a trainers kind of gal anymore, I still love these cool shoes but these days I’m much more in to the muted colours and I especially love the simple black ones because they go with everything and look pretty stylish too.  Not long ago I also bought a mini red pair for my daughter who wasn’t as keen on these shoes as me until she saw the glitter ones and is now hankering for a pair of those.  I have to admit I am partial to the gold ones and am tempted to get a pair for her and me.  A little bit of sparkle for the coming winter months seems like a good idea to me.

So this week with these shoes in mind, I thought I would have a bit of fun with the mama & baby post… let mama sport these cool and classic trainers while baby plays with those DIY converse wearing hens!  Aren’t they so quirky-cute?
