your prayers, comments, and emails have meant so much to me.
i am getting soooo close to being able to blog again.
but for now, i have something for you i am SO excited about.

my sister lives in california and she is one of my sisters best friends.
i met her last year when i drove there with the kiddos, and was completely amazed by her!

and guess what!? she wants to give a customized mei tai carrier away to one of my readers!
leave a comment letting us know you are in!
we will randomly pick a winner and announce it on monday!

Here are some reviews on her carriers:
"Such a BEAUTIFUL carrier! I am so so so excited to wear it to our play group today. I feel like I need to dress up just to match how pretty it is. I LOVE it.... it really is gorgeous and so well made! It's so cute and I feel all fancy wearing it... I love my Ergo, but never realized how informal and shabby it looks now! :)" - Wendy in El Cajon, California
"I absolutely love this Mei Tai and so does my daughter! I'm glad I finally found a carrier that she likes and feels comfortable in. I love, love, love the fabric!" - Amber in Tomball, Texas
"Got my Mei Tai today in the mail. I LOVE IT!!! It's so pretty and the quality is excellent! Thank you!" - Liz in Ontario, Canada
"This is a great carrier! I love it even more than my ergo. So pretty too! And I love the flower headband you sent, I wear them together and feel like a "pretty" mommy for a change." - Luana in San Diego, California
i have seen her carriers in person, she is a perfectionist, and her work is amazing!
