Baby In A FIshbowl Review and Giveaway

So, the wonderful Theresa from Baby In A Fishbowl sent me this pouch sling to review. Do you see how happy Big Sister is in there? One of my favorite things about puch slings (in general) is how easy they are to get on and off - no adjusting. This, unfortunately, means that they are usually not a perfect fit. At least that is what I have found with other pouch slings.

So, I was pretty surprised when I put this one on for the first time and found that it was a really snug fit. I felt like it was going to be tight - until I got her in it. Then I realized that it was better because there was less give. It is a much better fit. And I love it. My pouch slings are my go to for easy in and out and now this is the one I pick - because she stays put - no matter how much I am moving. :)

Plus, Theresa is amazing!! Her bio says:
I am a Stay-at-Home-Mom (who works my Mother's Store occasionally). My husband and I have 3 children. Each one wonderful and so different from the other. My husband is a hard working Contractor of his own business, and has built us a wonderful home. I never dreamed I'd be so lucky.
I began creating items for my own children, but somehow the hobby became more. I have been selling online for a couple of years, but decided
I enjoy creating, and hope you can find something you love and just can't live without!

And do you want to know why her shop is called Baby In a Fishbowl? (You are going to love this)
This is actually pretty simple and there are a couple ways we play with the term. Our last name is Fish! Gotta have a sense of humor. While pregnant with my youngest, my oldest daughter and I got talking about the baby being in my belly. Bringing up the fact that the baby is growing in my belly and living like a little "fish" in a fishbowl. After she was born and in my sling. I pointed out howcarrying a baby in a sling is like having the baby still in the "fishbowl", close and cozy to mommy, just like she was in my belly! SO, my Baby IS in a "Fishbowl."

Don't ya just love that? I know I do!! :) AND she has offered one of you a $15 gift certificate to her store. Which can actually buy you a sling in a solid color!!! Isn't that awesome?!?! Oh and you can, of course, use it for whatever you want!!! So, how do you enter? Head on over to Baby in a Fishbowl and take a look around. Then come on back and tell me what you would use the gift certificate for. This entry is mandatory!! As in, if you do not do it all other entries will not count.
