The Hermit of the Southern March: I Met Ree

I Met Ree

I wanted to get the shawl I've been working on done so I could wear it when I met Pioneer Woman, but I didn't. I would have had it done if the redhead with the baby strapped to her hadn't all of a sudden taken her sister and me to Disneyland. I'd say it was a fair trade-off, though. Oh, but that's a post for another day.

Lauren Christine, February 9, 2011 6:02 PM: How neat!!! I've read her blog before and I loved it :)
Rebecca, February 9, 2011 9:16 PM: Hey, Pioneer Woman is from the next town over from us! Howdy from a very snowy Oklahoma!
Persuaded, February 10, 2011 4:20 AM: Can't wait to see the Disneyland post!☺

And I have a question for you... or maybe for that redhead there... is that a Mobywrap she's wearing? How does she like it? I've always been an old-skool-ring-sling-girl myself, but Amelia is going to start caring for the baby and she is intrigued with all these new wraps. I am soliciting opinions on her behalf:-D
Trina, February 10, 2011 7:54 AM: no, way! I read "ree" and I'm thinking, 'she can't mean pioneer woman - she got to meet pioneer woman!!!" her book tour is not coming anywhere near me. No fair. :) Happy for you. Isn't she an inspiration?
Serena, February 10, 2011 6:04 PM: I know, it was pretty exciting! I mean, she's the woman who brought us Dreamy Apple Pie!

Diane, it's a Sleepy Wrap, which we like better than the Moby. http://www.sleepywrap.com/
How old is the baby again? I might recommend something with a bit more structure, depending on how big she is. A woven wrap is very comfortable, and provides more support for a bigger baby, plus it's not as long. Oh, I could go on and on!
Emily, wife of Jeremy, March 13, 2011 3:02 PM: Oh what a neat memory. I too love to drool over her recipes! Yummy!!!!!

I second the sleep wrap, although not for heavy babies. But for young babies, it's wonderful!!!!!

I was trying to find your email....I thought I had it. Must not. Anyway. I wanted to ask (I don't remember a post about it) what did you decide to use for Fiona's K homeschooling? Did you end using MFW? We are planning on using it for Maggie's K this Fall and I wondered what you thought about it or what you used.
