How often do we limit ourselves as a result of our beliefs? I know I've done this a lot in my life and when I see the opportunity to expand in this area, I want to take it! This blog is the perfect platform for me to practice this expansion. I've spent the past two years talking about how I'll get back to blogging as soon as _______ (fill in the blank with a laundry list of excuses). Well, a few weeks ago I realized that this excuse making had to stop and that if the desire to share through here was there, that's all I needed!
Yes, this space is in need of an update and I would love to give it a fancy makeover. But none of that needs to stop me from starting to share from here again. And so here we are! Exactly two years since our last post. And boy does it make me want to celebrate! There's so much I want to say and share and I'm excited for this new start. In honor of this rebirth, I've partnered up with a company that truly changed my life in order to bring you all a celebration giveaway!
We discovered Sakura Bloom when I was pregnant with our first daughter. Through their company we were introduced to the world of baby wearing, breastfeeding and to an online community of mom's that was unlike anything I had experienced in my years of online activity. The support and friendships that we gained through this company and by participing in The Sling Diaries were monumental. Not only in my life as a mother but also as a family with a passion to reach the masses with a message of love and positivity.
Baby (and toddler) wearing has been such an integral part of our journey and I'm so happy to be able to spread that joy. We've been wearing our girls in these slings since Luna was three months old, and she still asks to be worn in them! It's one of our favorite ways to connect, soothe fussiness, be mobile with them and hands free.
And now to spread the love! For a chance to receive one of these amazing slings for your family, simply leave a comment below and include your Instagram name (if applicable). The winner will be able to choose any silk or linen sling from Sakura Bloom. For extra entries, visit our Instagram feed and follow the instructions there. Winner will be announced on Friday, 4/29. We hope you enjoy, sweet friends!
With lots of love,
Ashley and the Castro family
