This wrap is perma-stash.
It's osnaburg, so it's not, soft, cushy, or marshmallowy. At 21' long, it's too big to be comfortable for my 5'4" frame. It doesn't have sleepy-dust or an amazing design.
I can't get rid of it.
It is a symbol.
A symbol of friendship and community. It was tie-dyed and given to me by members of my mama-tribe at a time when I needed to be wrapped in love and provided with support.
My 2nd child was just a few days old and still in the NICU with an uncertain future. I spent my birthday and wedding anniversary driving back and forth between home and hospital, trying to give as much time and love as I could to both of my children.
My mama-tribe stepped up and helped out: watching our first so hubby and I could both go to the NICU, bringing us hot meals, messages of love and support, sometimes from people I had only met at a play date or two.
In the year since they made me this wrap, my "tiny guy" has grown and made so much progress. I have done what I can to help others in similar ways.
This wrap is perma-stash...
just like the love and support it symbolizes.
