Beginning a new year with gratitude

Babywearing International of Phoenix (BWIP) is a non-profit chapter of Babywearing International, Inc. and staffed completely with volunteers. These Volunteer Babywearing Educators (VBEs) are the lifeblood of this group and they are what make all of the amazing education and outreach happen. Whether they served for a short period or have made an ongoing commitment to our chapter, each VBE is so appreciated. Let us take a moment and thank each of them for their willingness to give of their time, energy, and talents to help make our group amazing.

Savoring the Moment

I don't know about you, but 2014 has passed by in a blur! 2014 saw some incredible things going on for Babywearing International of Phoenix (BWIP).

Babywearing Bingo Winter Challenge

Happy Holidays! The Phoenix VBEs have been wracking our brains for the perfect holiday challenge. We think we've come up with something that will be fun, a little challenging and come with rewards! There will be four prize packages!

BWIP's Babywearing Bingo

Just like traditional bingo, you will try and complete a line of activities to get a "bingo". In our version you'll be doing these activities while babywearing.  You can complete them in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of five activities. Babywearing International of Phoenix (BWIP) paid members get a free space right in the middle to help complete one of their five spaces. Not a member yet and want to add that square? Find out more about membership here and email us at phoenixbabywearers@gmail.com to complete your membership!

As you are doing the activities, snap a picture. That's how we'll know the spaces have been completed. When you have your line of five pictures, create a collage and post that to the thread in the BWIP group. Each collage will be an entry into the raffle for one of four prize packages. You can enter up to five different collages but they must have all new pictures for each collage.

If you don't know how to make a collage, there are a few free collage making sites including www.picmonkey.com or www.Fotor.com 

Here is an example:

In our example we are making a "bingo" with the spaces from left to right diagonally. A front carry, nap wearing, BWIP member, holiday tradition (visiting Glendale Glitters) and a soft structured carrier. (Note: your entry must be your pictures, we shared from a few of us just as an example.)
