Monday Giveaway: Snugli

The right baby carrier can be a lifesaver during the first year of parenting and beyond. There are so many kinds available, but the one that’s probably been around the longest is the Snugli, which parents started using back in the 1960s. Recently I found out that the brand relaunched with a cool new look and fell in love with the idea of carrying my son around in the same carrier my parents used with me. If you’re just as excited about the modern day Snugli as I am, you’re in luck, as have one to give away this week!—

The new version has everything that made the original so popular–one-handed buckles, breathable fabrics and self-adjusting back straps–but comes in 16 new prints conceived by furniture and interior designer Jennifer DeLonge. The Snugli we’re giving away is the Front Snugli (for babies 7 to 26 pounds) in the Union Jack pattern (pictured).

Ghostlight Theater Camp

<p>Ghostlight Theater Camp is a summer theater camp for campers ages 9-17. Providing 10-day, 3-week, and 6-week programs that combine high-caliber theater training with a traditional summer camp experience.&nbsp;</p> <p>Working with Broadway artists both in classes and in productions, campers will have access to skill development, mentorships, and lifelong connections that will follow them beyond camp. Ghostlight focuses on ensemble theatre values and practicies that support individuality and self-expression in the context of community. This means that no camper at Ghostlight is in the back row or sitting on the side. Each day brings multiple opportunities to perform and create with fellow campers in an environment filled with support.&nbsp;</p> <p>When not making theater, campers can enjoy the benefits of a summer camp in Maine that no other theater camp offers. Stargazing in a hammock, walks in the woods, downtime by the pool, and quiet time reading in the Gazebos with the sound of wind all around are some of highlights of a summer unplugged and away from screens.&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, the most meaningful and lasting gift of a summer at Ghostlight is the friendships made that last a lifetime. Though the love of theater brings us together, and the work we do stands out from other experiences, the community focus of Ghostlight Theater Camp is why we hear, year after year, that campers cannot wait to return.&nbsp;</p>
