Fort Worth Star Telegram - "10 Shower Gifts As Useful As They Are Cute"
August 20, 2007
Some pregnant women start thinking about their gift registry soon after they see the two pink lines on the home pregnancy test.
It's just so much fun creating your wish list of baby gear. (Also, it helps take your mind off morning sickness and swollen ankles.) Bedding sets in adorable themes, wipe warmers and baby cleansing products, humidifiers, sleep positioners, Boppies and Bumbos ... with so much merchandise out there, how do parents-to-be decide what they need? And how do well-meaning friends and relatives choose the perfect baby shower gifts?
As a BTDT (been there, done that) mom expecting my second baby, I found it a lot easier this time to cull through the ideas and to figure out what is cute but ultimately useless versus what would definitely get placed into service in the nursery. I've come up with 10 gift ideas, most of them new to the marketplace, that aren't the same-old, same-old. (Because, really, how many receiving blankets and onesies can one little baby go through?) And don't worry, I haven't left Dad out -- he deserves some thoughtful gifts, too.

Omaha World-Herald - “Stylish, practical cloth baby carriers are a boon to bonding”
Sarah Emmi has one baby, one toddler and nine cloth baby carriers. The Omaha stay-at-home mom favors one carrier for running to the store - it's quick and easy to put on. She favors another when heading out and about for a while. That one takes longer to put on, but it's more comfortable because it wraps around both shoulders and offers more support. Read More...

Best of Dallas - Best Way to Mimic a Marsupial: Hotslings
September 29, 2005
“In 2003, Kristen DeRocha developed something no parent (kangaroos excepted) thought was possible. She created a way to securely carry a baby and use both arms for another--or possibly two--tasks. Trial and error at her sewing machine finally produced the first Hotsling, a pouch-like holder for baby using no rings, snaps or fasteners.”

New York Sun - “How To Tote a Tot”
June 6, 2005
Last fall, as the end of my pregnancy fast approached, I became obsessed with baby carriers. [...] My criteria were comfort - an absolute necessity - ease of use, and style. As much as having a baby has brought out my Earth Mother side, I am not prepared to walk the city streets in a Guatemalan-print sling. Read More...
