The always-lovely Laura at Littlestuff has had a Paperpod for review and made a lovely little montage of her gorgeous children enjoying it which she’s posted on the Littlestuff Blog.

New at Baby Bean, Sock Ons are clever little things that keep babies socks on, and this video is too cute not to share! 

Until the 31st of August there’s 10% off these fabulous carriers.

The Connecta Baby Carrier is a supportive, structured baby carrier with convenient quick-release buckles, well padded straps, and a flexible, unpadded waist to conform to the wearer’s body.  The shaped body panel of the Connecta also has a wide base to support anatomically correct positioning for babies and provide optimum comfort for wearers, and the curved, rounded top of the design provides head support while still allowing baby room to move.  Available in a selection of gorgeous fabrics, all reversible to plain black for days when you feel a little subdued or if Daddy wants to borrow your carrier!  £49.50 until 31/08/09.

The EllaRoo Mei Tai is a versatile, sturdy, all-around baby carrier that can be worn on front or back. Because the shoulder and waist straps are tied on however you like, the carrier can be easily shared between parents of very different sizes.  Features of the EllaRoo Mei Tai include organic cotton batting, high-quality fabrics, and supportive straps and body piece for long-wearing comfort. This classic mei-tai design has a soft curved top that gives gentle head support if your baby falls asleep in the carrier. Just £46.80 until 31/08/09.

The EllaRoo Wrap is a traditional style carrier, which is incredibly versatile, and allows you to carry your baby right through from newborn to toddler in a variety of different positions.  Constructed of 100% cotton hand-woven fabric, the EllaRoo Wrap has that just-right stretch, to form around you and baby, without being bouncy.  The simplicity of design makes this the most versatile baby carrier you can find. You can carry your child from birth through the toddler years, on the front, hip, or back.  Only £41.40 until 31/08/09.

Baby slings are hot news in the world of celebrity parents, and not only is Julia Roberts wearing her new baby in a sling, but she’s sporting a Bravado bra too!

Neil (my wonderful other half) and I are working on ideas to jazz up the website.  We’re busy designing new buttons, banners, and other bits and pieces - it’s lots of fun but also frustrating and time consuming.  Hopefully we’ll be able to add some functionality (that’s Neil) as well as good looks (me :D)!  We’re looking at a live help function, newsletter sign up, and photo gallery.

I’m addicted!  When a friend first introduced me I just couldn’t see the point, but a few weeks in I’m hooked!  Still not entirely sure what the point is though.  I’ve never let that hold me back before though, so I’ve set up my very own Baby Bean group  - come and join me!

Hurray!  I’ve teamed up with Miranda at Twinkleontheweb to enable me to continue to offer cloth nappies at Baby Bean, without the problems of maintaining stock levels.  Miranda will be dropshipping some of my orders for me, if I don’t have stock of a particular item.  This means customers should not have delays on their orders, and I can offer a full range of styles, sizes, and fastenings. 

I’ve just sent out my latest newsletter with a special offer for June:

10% off Bara Barn Slings with code SOMMAR

AND for each Empty Me Baby Bag purchased before 30 June I’ll donate £3 to Cancer Research UK.
