- Apologies for the radio silence over the weekend but we had lots to get ready & took a family trip to London for @thewrapshow Magic Summer event 😃 A fabulous weekend with lots of carrying, lots of wonderful people & a new addition or two for the library! I’ll share some photos with you over the coming days ❤️ #thecarryingworks #thewrapshow #magicsummer #carryingmatters #londonNext up, we have some new additions from the wonderful folks at Je Porte Mon Bébé (@jpmbb ) 😃 We have Hoodie Carriers, Physio Carriers, a gorgeous stretchy ring sling (Little Wrap Without a Knot) & a fabulous Original Wrap! Who wants to see more of these? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #TheCarryingWorks #CarryThemClose #CarryingMatters #jpmbbLet’s get started with the first of these fabulous new arrivals to the library! First up, two more of the ever popular @mamaruga Zen Slings 😃 Have you ever tried one? These gorgeous buckled carriers have soft, spreadable wrap straps & are a real joy to wear! Who fancies a play with one of these? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #TheCarryingWorks #CarryThemClose #CarryingMattersWe had an exciting delivery today & it came in a rather large box! Any ideas? #TheCarryingWorks #NewSlingsThrowback to the arrival of the #Beco8Carrier from @slumberroo & a very smily, tiny T! A really popular full buckle here in #TheCarryingWorks library & it even features a handy mesh panel that is perfect for the warmer weather 😃 #EBW2018 #Beco #SlumberRooTomorrow is the beginning of European Babywearing Week 2018! The theme this year is ‘carrying connects’ & I’ve got some fab posts planned to celebrate 😃 What would you like to see? #EBW2018 #CarryingConnects #TheCarryingWorksThis is something that we started last year as a part of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week when the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership encouraged people to be a part of creating a virtual #perinatalpositivitypot for people to dip into. It can be super hard sometimes to think positive, especially when you're having a tough time. So many people said they found it helpful so I wanted to do it again! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Male or female, I'd love it if this post could be a place for us all to share positive words; something that's helped you when times have been tough, something you've achieved (no matter how small it may seem!), something you like about yourself, tag a friend to say something nice about them, a quote that resonates & helps lift you or even just a massive smile. And if you're having a tough time, know that that's ok too. This pot is here to be dipped into & I'll be adding to it too <3 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pmhppositivitypot #MaternalMHMatters #PaternalMentalHealthMatters #EverybodysBusiness #TheCarryingWorksAnother topic you may have seen or heard me talk about in the past is self care. This is a concept that has been all over the media & many companies are selling products or services as something essential to self care but in reality, self care is exactly that. Only you can determine what constitutes self care & what is important to you. It doesn’t have to be expensive. It doesn’t have to cost anything at all. Maybe an early night. Maybe getting out for a run. Maybe a piece of cake in peace. Stargazing. Mindfulness. Being barefoot in the garden. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The lovely Zoe at @theslingconsultancy has recently published a fantastic blog post about talks about self care & what it means. Why not pop over, have a read of her blog post & say hello? ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pmhppositivitypot #MaternalMHMatters #EverybodysBusiness #TheCarryingWorksTo finish the week, the focus turns to recovery. I’ve spoken a great deal about the importance of talking, of truly listening &, whilst I believe these are extremely important, there are many other things which may also find helpful. Everyone will have things which have aided their recovery & throughout the day I’m going to focus on some different ideas, ending the day on the #pmhppositivitypot that we have shared previously & I know many of you found helpful in the past ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One charity & source of hope I want to give a special mention to is @joeltcp 🌈 The loss of a baby is devastating & the possible effect on the mental health of the entire family is unfathomable. JOEL are there to support families right away but also to support families through trying to conceive, pregnancy & parenting after loss. They offer a huge amount of support, including Chasing Rainbows (a relaxed, friendly chat & play group aimed at families pregnant after loss or parenting sunshine or rainbow children), their dedicated Dads group (JOEL Dads), Treasured Angels, family support packs, the family suite at Bassetlaw Hospital, as well as so much more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep your eyes on the page throughout the day for more posts, shares & our virtual positivity pot 🌈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MaternalMHMatters #EverybodysBusiness #TheCarryingWorks
