Babywearing at the Park - TOMORROW

Just a reminder that our picnic in the park will be tomorrow, Sunday September 27 at 11am at Zwicks Park. We are going to gather there and hang out. The family fun day starts at 1pm and we'll be around at least until it starts. Join us for demos and chatting and snacks and fun!!!

Everyone who comes tomorrow can enter their name in a draw for a new sling! :)

Hope to see everyone there!

Have fun everyone! I can't wait to see the submissions :)
