Pavo Textiles Intersection Backgammon

I posted a review of Pavo Textiles Intersection Backgammon! Please check it out! 🖤

My first impression was that there is a lot more black and less white than I was expecting…excellent, because I am not careful about keeping wraps clean. I threw it in the wash immediately, and dried it on a low tumble. Fresh out of the wash I noticed how textured it is – lots of micro-texture usually means a good amount of grip. After a wash, the next important question for me is always whether…

Wearing my big kiddo #LittlerHill still makes him so happy! When I started babywearing, I never could have imagined that this parenting tool would still be so useful with a preschooler - we snuggle, we ride public transit, and he tells me lots of amazing stories looking over my shoulder as we explore the city together. 🖤 How has babywearing helped make parenting better for you? We are in @pavotextiles LoFi 🖤🖤🖤 . [image description: A light skinned black mama carrying a light skinned black preschooler on her back in a white and grey woven wrap with an edgy abstract pattern.

Can you tell that my interest in #monochrome has not rubbed off on my kiddo? 🌈🌈🌈 I sometimes love to use a base-1 for a base-3 carry with loooooong, fabulous tails! This is @emmelinetextiles Amelia Ink in a Reinforced Ruck CCCB, and it’s super supportive for 35+ lbs of #LittlerHill 🖤 .

Living in #nyc has lots of perks - beautiful architecture, incredible historical landmarks, museums with famous art, and the restaurant from Seinfeld 🤗 I wore my big kiddo in this @tallulahbabydesigns onbuhimo for *over an hour* today y’all! It and Olivia are incredible!! It’s made from @ankaliatextiles Dendros 🖤 #littlerhill said “it feels like a wrap!” which is a gigantic compliment because he doesn’t like to ride in anything else 🖤🖤 .

Big kiddo snuggles while we wait for the bus in @vandeloowoven f/64 🖤 It is not easy to find wraps that continue to feel great for both of us in a single layer carry! This one is very supportive without being bulky, and a gorgeous monochrome grad! .

Preschooler wearing helps me navigate the public transit in NYC - today we took the subway, walked by the WTC, took the PATH, a bus, walked, another bus, NJ Transit, and the subway again 🚇 We get around easily with all the stairs, and I have a place for #littlerhill to rest when he needs a break. This is @pavotextiles Keshi Noir, which seems like a softer, cushier version of Lenticel 😍🖤 .

This is THE PERFECT handwoven wrap! @honourhandwovens For All The Nights To Come 🖤🖤 100% Eco2Cotton, monochrome goodness! I LOVE it!

I'm back into shorties after a quite long hiatus when we only used base and base-1 wraps! This is @wovenwings Geo Raven 🖤 It's in the narrower side, so a reinforced seat really helps keep this Ruck comfy for us both. I guess I have to stop saying I don't like linen 😅🤷🏽‍♀️ .

Intersection (Backgammon) at an intersection 🚦🙃 The filter didn't change the color of the wrap at all 🖤 @pavotextiles are so wonderful for carrying my big kiddo! .

Summer came back and I thought we were past the super sweaty wrapping days this year 😅 so I've been Rucking a lot, which is not an easy feat with a 35+ lbs big kiddo. Not every wrap can handle a single layer carry, but this @vandeloowoven f/64 definitely can! It's super sturdy and soft, so it's comfy for us both 😍🖤 .

A base-4 is great for a quick Ruck TUB...except I am terrible at the TUB (tie under bum) part - I end up jumping up and down, pulling in all directions without any tightening happening, and all sweaty and frustrated. How do you get a nice double knot under your kiddo?? Please advise. This is @pavotextiles Pavo Pavo Dusk 🖤 .
