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. They are both looking at the camera and smiling, with the kiddo looking over her shoulder.

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 🖤 .

They both have on sunglasses. She is wearing a white fleece jacket, and the kiddo has on a winter jacket with rainbow stripes.

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 🖤🖤 .

Behind the bum is a red neon sign that is the beginning of the word “restaurant”.] . . . #Monochrome #AnkaliaTextiles #Dendros #TallulahBabyDesigns #TomsDiner #Onbuhimo #Textiles #CrunchyMama #BlackWomenDoBabywear #CrunchyMomsOfColor #BlackBabywearing #BabywearersOfColor #ManhattanMombie #Babywearing #Toddlerwearing #Toddler #BigKidWearing #Preschooler #YouCannotIgnoreThis #CarryThemClose #BabywearingMama #WearAllTheBabies #WearAllTheToddlers #BabywearingWhileBlack #BrownGirlBloggers #BlackGirlsWhoBlog (at Morningside Heights, Manhattan)

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! .

Every wicked witch needs a broom to ride! @pavotextiles Futurism Charcoal was the perfect witchy carrier for my big kiddo 🖤🖤🖤 . . .

This wrap is like carrying my big kiddo with a million tiny pillows on my shoulders 😍 Wingaersheek Eclipse by @pavotextiles is a dream come true 🖤🖤 .

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! Perfect support, not too stretchy, good grip, nice thickness in hand and already pretty easy to tighten 😍 .

Yup, #littlerhill and I are up to no good 😈 in @pavotextiles Sticks Noir 🖤 I'm so thankful that I can carry my big kiddo on my back for #shenanigans 😍 .

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 😅🤷🏽‍♀️ .

Question of the day: DO stripes go with plaid?? This is @emmelinetextiles Amelia Ink, a lovely, sturdy wrap with beautiful texture and a workhorse feeling that means I don't have to worry about a perfect wrap job to have comfortable shoulders 🖤🖤 [two black heart emojis] .

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 😍🖤 .

I always feel so lucky when I get to try out a sample - this amazing wrap (that I dreamed hard into creation) is Wingaersheek Eclipse by @pavotextiles 🖤 It shines as a big kiddo levitator - I was even able to comfortably carry #littlerhill in the front for the first time in a long time! .
