Trail Tuesday - Cross Plains State Park
Tuesday, May 12th 9:30am
I'm sharing some of my favorite areas around Madison to get out and explore nature. Babywearing is essential to hike some of these trails with your baby or younger kids, but I'll also let you know when a stroller is an option.
Let's meet in-person at Cross Plains State Park! Meet at the gravel parking lot across the street from the park at 9:15am for carrier fit checks. (8075 Old Sauk Pass Rd) I'll also have some other options along in case you'd like to try out one of my carriers. We'll leave at 9:30am for a casual hike through prairie and wooded areas featuring an impressive gorge.
Meriter Baby Hour

Meriter Baby Hour for babies 0-9 months and their caregivers meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 - 11 am at the Jeff Levy Education Center.
I'll be presenting to the group on Tuesday, May 19th. Free registration available at the link below!

Learn all about the wonderful world of woven wraps!
