This weekend is all about community and heritage. Plus we’ve ventured even farther afield than usual. And hopefully the sun will shine upon it all.

Slings have become more mainstream and a common must-have in a modern mama’s arsenal of accessories. And that means there’s been an explosion of brands and styles hitting the market. So how’s a mama-to-be supposed to know which is the right option for her? Especially if she doesn’t yet have a baby to test drive myriad options? We went to Tanis Frame of mamamaven fame who independently researches everything from greening your home to baby carriers, for more info, ideas and recommendations.
