August 10, 2020 Dear Aeva, If you’re reading this, chances are, your mom is dead. I don’t know how and I don’t know when. My only hope is that it was quick, not messy, and relatively painless. Being hit by a bus is not my preferred way of dying. I have imagined myself dying in […]

When my baby was born, I was caught up with babywearing, and hoarded carriers. My mom bought me an Ergobaby 360 before our daughter was born, and since it was too hot and bulky, we bought the Baby K’Tan for our newborn.
