Maya Wrap makes wonderful slings to carry your infant or toddler with. After using several different slings, the Original Maya Wrap is my favorite. The adjustable ring makes wearing your baby so easy and the light and sturdy fabric makes the sling comfortable to wear.

With summer on it’s way and camping trips and visits to the park coming more often, chances are your first aid kit needs some reviving. Check the expiration dates on the tubes of ointment and creams you may have and make sure the little supplies like cotton swabs and band-aids are fresh and in good condition. Since you should have a seperate first aid kit for your vehicle, make sure you carry your supplies in something portable yet durable. First aid bags are available in outdoor or surplus stores or you can carry first aid supplies in caboodle cosmetic boxes. I really like the cosmetic box because it has little dividers so you can be super organized.

I’m not a health expert but I am a mother and I do know that the human body is wonderfully created to heal and protect itself. I don’t believe that vaccinations help build the immune system and you shouldn’t believe that either. What helps build the immune system is breastmilk during infancy and a healthy diet throughout life.

The governments one-size fits all immunization schedule is a way for the pharmaceutical companies to increase profits and put money in their pockets, it is not your child’s health they have in mind.

Educate yourself about the use of vaccinations before you allow your child to be immunized. Read In the Wake of Vaccines by Barbara Low Fisher then decide if you want more information.
