A Gugu Guide’s Fall Faves

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Meet a Gugu Guide: Anya Machala. Anya is a pastry chef and now SAHM of two girls ages three and one. Anya and her family love to get outdoors no matter the weather. She loves to craft and do anything DIY and is always looking for new fun sensory and learning activities to make for her girls. This Rhode Island mama of two girls LOVES fall and here shares some of her favorite fall activities and a few product recommendations too. From her go to carrier to a delicious recipe for the whole family and an easy Halloween costume idea, check out her fave Fall picks below.

Carrier stash left to right: Black Eyelet Scout no leather; Tapri Scout no leather; Seek 15 scout with leather; Natural Eyelet Scout with leather; Magnolia 5 scout with leather; Happy Baby Carrier Strewn OG; Happy Baby Carrier Cake Toddler

Fall Baby Carrier Pick: Sakura Bloom Scout

I admit, I do have a bit of a carrier stash problem but my favorite right now is the Sakura Bloom Scout. I can carry both of my girls comfortably in it for hours. It has the ability to carry from newborn and while at that point my favorite was a Happy Baby Carrier, now with them weighing more, I find the Scout disperses weight better for me. I can tandem carry my girls, or just chase one while carrying the other on my back and it gives me the ability to be hands free. We frequently take long walks and I always reach for my scouts. They have beautiful color options as well as different fabrics too. I personally like the leather option on the arms straps as I feel it gives me a little more support. For carrying in the fall I use an Ollie & I Pendleton carrier cover. The wool keeps out the chill and I love the option of the removable hood. My youngest daughter was an infant las winter and it gave me the option to get my toddler outside almost every day without the fear of her getting cold. Because it’s not really safe to carry a baby with footies on, due to the possibility of cutting off circulation, the carrier cover was the perfect option.

Fall Recipe: Picky Eater-Friendly Risotto
Quick, simple, flavorful and customizable
My girls love rice. I mean who doesn’t but what is better than creamy risotto? Especially during fall. Both of my girls are dairy free due to allergies so it’s not easy to find something that will substitute the creamy texture while having to sub dairy. Enter veggie medley risotto. Not only is it filling, it can be customized to the pickiest of palates.


What you will need
– 1lb of chicken. I use tenderloins since they easy to cut up into chunks
– Chicken stock
– Small onion diced
– 1 garlic clove minced
– Arborio rice
– Small pot
– Measuring cups (liquid and dry)
– Frozen veggies (any kind my girls like peas)

How to make it
1. Cut chicken into small chunks and season with salt and pepper
2. Dice onion and mince garlic
3. Measure out 3 cups chicken stock
4. Put a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until softened about 3 min.
5. Add chicken to pan and brown
6. Add a mounded 1 cup of arborio rice to pan and stir until coated with olive oil.
7. Add 2 cups of the chicken stock bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer
8. Simmer without stirring until almost all liquid has reduced
9. Slowly add remaining chicken stock little by little stirring after each addition
10. When rice is cooked and liquid is almost all gone add in 1 cup of the frozen veggies of your choice and stir to combine. The residual heat and small amount of remaining liquid will cook veggies.
11. Enjoy!

DIY Halloween Costume: Fluffy Chicken Costume

In my quest to find a super cute outfit for my daughter I stumbled upon a fluffy chicken. Only problem was THEY WERE 175$ ON ETSY!! I really didn’t want to pay that much for a costume that might only get used once (being reused again this year for my second daughter) so I found a way to DIY one. Scrolling amazon I found feathers but tried to think of the easiest way to attach them. Single feathers would be tedious and take forever so I thought maybe a string of feathers? Enter the feather boa. Super fluffy, easy to work with and so many color choices. Next I thought how to attach them? My husband suggested fabric glue or hot glue but that would weigh down the feathers and make the outfit stiff. My sewing skills are not top notch so I watched a video on simple ways to tack items and found out how easy it could be!! I ordered two onesies, one for underneath for warmth as well as protection from feathers and tack spots (my daughter gets itchy easily), suspender leggings in yellow so they don’t fall down, a crochet chicken hat from Etsy (I can’t crochet and yay for supporting local businesses) and yellow moccasins.

I laid out all the boas and tacked them on to the onesie one by one. Make sure when doing this you hold up the onesie to check for bare patches. I started with the arms and across the collar. The arms are the most tedious because of turning them inside out to see where you’re attaching the feathers. Then I zig-zagged across and up and down the onesie to cover it fully. Again make sure to test out on your child BEFORE wearing out (I found a few bald patches that looked full when doing this early this morning with my 3 year old’s grey chicken costume). Be fair warned that your house will be full of feathers and everywhere your child walks will leave a trail of them!! I did simple one flat colors for my kids but I’m sure you could add in another accent color for some dimension. I seems daunting but it’s so easy and really fun to see the smiles on my kids faces as they are running around!

Must-Haves for the Modern Parent

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We know it can be overwhelming to figure out what baby products you need, which is why we’re such a huge fan of these brands and their must-have baby products designed specifically with the modern parent in mind. Read on below to see why we always recommend Diaper Dékor Diaper Pails, Love to Dream Swaddle UP, Lascal m1 Baby Carrier, and Nomi High Chair. 

Diaper Dekor

The Diaper Dékor is a must-have for any nursery! Unlike other traditional diaper disposal systems where you have to bend over, operate a lid, or even shove a soiled diaper inside the diaper pail, Dékor diaper pails are 100% hands-free. Dékor considered what real life with a baby or toddler really looks like, and designed the Dékor diaper pail to make your life easier. After a diaper change, modern parents are likely to have the baby in one arm and the soiled diaper in the other. Shockingly, no one has a third hand to operate the diaper pail, so what do you do? Well, when it comes to the Dékor diaper pail, simply just STEP on the foot pedal, DROP the soiled diaper through the trap door, and you’re DONE! Coming in a variety of colors, you’re sure to find the perfect one for your baby’s nursery. Plus, they come in different sizes, so you can have them all over the house – and they have a Cloth Diaper Liner as well, which works perfectly in their Plus-sized diaper pail!

Love to Dream SwaddleUP

Sleep is imperative as a new parent, but can be hard to come by! As a modern mama, you take any chance you can to catch some winks, and Love to Dream’s Swaddle Up is here to help. Love to Dream realized that traditional swaddling is often difficult for new parents to master, and often the swaddle unravels throughout the night, which leads to baby “escaping” and waking up! Babies sleep better and longer with their arms up in the natural position. Love To Dream has revolutionized swaddling so that everyone can swaddle correctly, every time, so babies will have a safer, more comfortable sleep. Love To Dream’s Swaddle UP is the only zip-up swaddle that allows the baby to sleep in a more natural position with arms UP.

Love to Dream also considered families while creating the Swaddle UP and wanted to make the sleep time experience as stress-free as possible. The Swaddle UP helps parents swaddle their baby quickly and safely every time and eliminates excess loose fabric in the crib. Plus, the genius two-way zipper for easy diaper changes and hip-healthy design allows hips and legs to flex naturally. Coming in a variety of colors, the Love to Dream Swaddle UP is a sleep-time must-have for babies!

Lascal Carrier

Any working mom knows how important it is to get as much done as you can in your free time, which is why it’s so important to be able to comfortably wear baby, so you can have two hands! We’re loving the Lascal m1 Baby Carrier for so many reasons. Parents love the Lascal m1 Baby Carrier because it is extremely comfortable and easy-to-use. Whether you’re running errands, traveling, or simply bopping around the house, the Lascal m1 Baby Carrier has everything you need. Keep baby snuggled in close to you, safe and shielded from germs. Offering 3 unique carrying positions within an ergonomic design, this supportive accessory carries your child in optimal comfort. The Lascal m1 Baby Carrier is ideal for infants because the Infant M-Seat allows babies weighing 8-12 lbs. to always sit in the most ergonomic hip-friendly “M-Position” with knees higher than the hip. In fact, parents can rest easy knowing that the m1 Carrier is acknowledged by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) as hip-healthy by giving correct support for your baby’s legs, hips, and spine.

The adjustable lumbar support provides lower back comfort and a wide padded waist belt and shoulder straps relieve stress on the wearer’s shoulders and neck. The m1 fits all shapes and sizes with just a few quick adjustments using the intuitive and easy-to-use buckles, making it a breeze to put on and take off. Plus, their Strap-Tidies keep all loose straps neatly folded for a clean and nice look.

Nomi High Chair

When it comes to high chairs, we’re pretty much obsessed with the sleek and modern design from Nomi. There are just so many reasons to be in love with the Nomi High Chair! Nomi is the next generation high chair that seamlessly adjusts without tools, and evolves with children’s changing needs from birth all the way through the teenage years! The Nomi can be used before baby can even sit on his/her own. You can actually start using this amazing high chair right away from birth with the addition of the Nomi Baby raised bouncer attachment (sold separately). Having baby at the same height of the table from birth means you can enjoy your special meal time moments with every member of the family. This means less standing up and sitting down for you, and more time to eat! Plus, the Nomi is modern and chic, and doesn’t take up a ton of space, so it’s ideal for small space living.

Thank you to Dékor, Love to Dream, Lascal, and Nomi for making this sponsored post possible!

The Best Baby Carriers and Wraps for 2021

by Jenna Hatfield Leave a Comment

With so many baby carriers and wraps on the market, it can be hard to choose which one will work best for you and your baby. We’ve compiled a list of structured, hybrid, and wrap-style baby carriers to help you make a decision. No matter which baby carrier you choose, know that your little one will love the close contact with you and other care providers.

Best Wrap and Ring Sling Baby Carriers

Baby K’tan Print Baby Carrier – $59.95

You’ll love the way the Baby K’tan feels and acts like a wrap carrier—without the wrapping. You simply pull this baby carrier on like a t-shirt, and you’re good to go! You can wear your baby in five different positions with this one carrier. It will hold infants and babies weighing between 8 and 35 pounds. With no buckles, snaps, or other connections, you don’t have to worry about catching baby or yourself on anything. We shared the grey and white tie-dye print as it’s on-trend right now, but there are a number of different prints, colors, and fabrics in our store! You can also read more about the ergonomic benefits of the Baby K’tan on our blog.

Sakura Bloom Ring Sling – $140

The Sakura Bloom is a top-of-the-line ring sling, a baby carrier that fits across one shoulder and allows you to carry in a variety of positions. We linked the bamboo version here because the fabric is cooling against your little one’s skin, perfect for warmer temperatures. Additionally, the Sakura Bloom comes in a variety of fabrics and prints. Just a warning, if you fall in love with this style of carrier, you’re going to want the Mr. Blue Skye desert inspired print. This carrier is designed for babies ranging from 7 to 35 pounds. Lastly, the tail of a ring sling can double as a breastfeeding cover when you want to be more discrete. 

Moby Wrap Featherknit Wrap – $49.99

The Moby Wrap feels incredibly lightweight and comfortable for both you and baby. We love that you can just toss this wrap directly into the washing machine to clean up any messes. It will grow with your baby from 8 to 33 pounds. We chose the Micro Mickey print for two reasons: The black and white print is versatile and goes with everything, and a subtle Mickey Mouse is sure to brighten your day. 

Solly Loop Carrier – $125.00

In keeping with the wrap theme, the Solly Loop Carrier is a beautiful and comfortable option. The Loop Carrier can hold babies between 15 and 45 pounds, making it a great option for older babies and toddlers. They also have a traditional wrap to carry babies between 8 and 25 pounds, but we wanted to share an option for extended babywearing. The Loop features a unique sewn-in ring design to combine the easy use of a sling format with the support of a wrap-style baby carrier. This one also comes in a variety of fabrics, and you’ll love the Baltic Stripe for a classic look. 

Boppy ComfyFit Baby Carrier – $50.00

If you like wrap style carriers and want to try another one, you’ll definitely want to grab the Boppy ComfyFit. You’ll love the compact design in addition to the fact that it comes with a Stash n’Go pouch to store it in when you’re not using it. You can throw the pouch in your purse or diaper bag. The adjustable waist belt also features a storage pocket, perfect for keys, a binky, and more. This baby carrier is ideal for babies between 8 and 35 pounds. Plus, that black camo print is definitely on trend for the year.

Best Structured Baby Carriers

Ergobaby Omni 360 Baby Carrier All-In-One – $179.00

The Omni 360 is the Cadillac of baby carriers. You can carry your baby in all positions with one carrier: front carry facing the parent; front carry facing out; hip carry; and back carry! You will appreciate the way you can adjust the straps by length as well as the crossable straps to help you find the best possible fit. Your back will also appreciate the lumbar support. This baby carrier is newborn ready, working for babies between 7 and 45 pounds. It comes in a variety of colors and prints as well.

Tula Free-to-Grow Baby Carrier – $159.00

The Tula Free-to-Grow will grow with your baby from 7 to 45 pounds. Thanks to the adjustable nature of this carrier, no infant insert is needed. It features breathable material in a variety of super cute fabrics. You can pick anything from more neutral solids to this super cute pink cactus print. Additionally, like other carriers, you can carry your little one in a variety of positions. Check out our tips on how to breastfeed while wearing a Tula as well.

JP Outdoor Co. Co-Pilot Day Pack – $189.00

If you’re more of the adventuring type, you’re going to want to grab a JP Outdoor Co. Co-Pilot. In additional to keeping your baby close on your next hike, this setup comes with a backpack that fits all of your gear as well as your baby’s important items. You’ll love the built-in changing station when you need to take care of business on the trail. This baby carrier will hold babies between 8 and 30 pounds. 

Babybjorn Mini – $99.99

If you’re looking for a baby carrier that you can use from day one, the Baby Carrier Mini should be packed in your hospital bag! Your baby can be worn facing you between 7 and 10 pounds and can then face forward from about five months of age until they hit 24 pounds. This handy baby carrier comes in 3D Jersey, Cotton, and 3D Mesh, as well as a variety of colors. 

Again, no matter which of these fantastic baby carriers is your best fit, your baby will love being close to you. Whether you’re walking, cleaning, or even working out while babywearing, you’ll be creating a close bond for years to come.

Ergonomic Baby Carrier: Baby K’tan

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

An ergonomic baby carrier – what is it? Put simply, it’s one that promotes healthy hip development in your babe. Gugu Guru always looks to make sure a carrier is approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute – this will ensure the carrier has an ergonomic design.

If you’re preparing for a new baby, picking out an ergonomic baby carrier is essential; newborns, and babies, love snuggling close to their caregivers, and we can’t lie, it’s awesome having your hands free to have a cup of coffee, do a little work, or care for your other kiddos. When it comes to babywearing, we’re huge fans of the Baby K’tan Carrier. The Baby K’tan ergonomic baby carrier is one of our work-from-home essentials, and many members of the Gugu Guru team have been using Baby K’tan for years. Read on to see why the Baby K’tan wrap is a must-have for babywearing and making your life a little easier with a newborn in tow.

ergonomic baby carrier

The Baby K’tan ergonomic baby carrier is approved as hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Baby is worn in the natural seated position, with knees bent and hips spread, promoting healthy development. The Baby K’tan is ideal for travel, as well, as it comes in a matching carry bag that doubles as your sash. Simply flip the carry bag inside out to convert it to sash mode. Tie the sash around yourself and baby for added support in certain positions. The Baby K’tan Carrier grows with your child – choose the best position from sling wrap for newborn babies and preemies to an upright seated carrier for infants up to 35lbs.

baby carrier

The Baby K’tan is the must-have ergonomic baby carrier for new parents because it is so easy to use. There are no buckles, straps, zippers, or clips – the double loop patented design simply goes on like your favorite t-shirt. The Baby K’tan Carrier is made from 100% cotton, and the breathable fabric is soft against baby skin. Plus, the carrier is much loved by parents, as it’s not bulky or frilly – ideal for both moms and dads. And, it’s so easy to use, even the most sleep deprived mom or dad can figure it out! The patented double-loop design makes distributing baby’s weight as easy as the pull of a loop. Pull down on the back loop to raise baby up on your body and distribute his/her weight evenly and comfortably.

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks: Part I

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

We’re so excited about Jazmyn Simon Hill’s baby top picks and must-haves! Gugu Guru has recently had the pleasure of working with the lovely and beautiful actress and new mama Jazmyn Simon Hill. You may know Jazmyn from the TV-Series Ballers and the movies Acrimony and Ed. We are excited to have her on the blog today sharing some wise words on her baby must-haves. Jazmyn has rounded up her top picks for bath, health, diapering, baby gear, and sleep that have helped her as a new mom. You can follow Jazmyn and her pregnancy journey on Instagram. 

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks – Bath, Health, and Diapering:

  1. Boon Naked Tub: “I just love the design and simplicity of the boon tub. I love baby items that are simplistic. You may hear that from me a few times but it’s true!”
  2. Puj Tub: “The puj tub is great because as a full-time actress married to a full-time actor, we travel a lot- and the puj is perfect for when we need a tub that can be packed. And I mean, how cute is a baby in a sink!!!”
  3. Crane Humidifier: “I suffer from bad seasonal allergies and personally use a crane humidifier. So to keep babies room moist and comfy, I went with a trusted favorite, a Crane humidifier.”
  4. Fridababy Bundle: “Omg. I am obsessed with Frida Baby. When I went to my baby 101 class with my husband, the instructors would not stop raving about all their products. I’m especially excited about the Nose Frida and the Fridet. Hehe. They have baby and mommy covered.”
  5. Matimati Washcloths: “Two words: Eco. Friendly.”
  6. Diaper Dekor Plus: “I love that this can hold up to 60 diapers. Babies go through a LOT of diapers at first. And there’s no bending and twisting. Just step on the pedal and drop and go. Anything that saves time wins!”
  7. Skip Hop Pronto: “Let’s face it, there will be times when you have to improvise a diaper change. This skip hop pronto makes it easier!!!”
  8. b.box Caddy: “Again, sometimes…a lot of times… diaper changes happen on the go. This portable caddy makes diaper changes all around the house easier!”

  4. Toki Mats: “Tummy time essential. These make tummy time safer because they are NON-TOXIC. Can we all say thank you!!!!”
  5. Bannor Toys Blocks: “I cried when I received my banner name rattle and blocks.  It said Baby Hill and it made everything feel so real. Plus it’s made in the USA from wood.

Jazmyn Simon Hill's Baby Top Picks - Love to Dream

  1. Love to Dream Swaddles: “So smart. I didn’t know a lot about the Moro reflex and how it can startle your baby awake. These swaddles keep them safely snug and sleeping. Plus as they get older, you can release one or both arms. Love.”Jazmyn Simon Hill's Baby Top Picks Snoo
  2. Snoo: “Can. We. Say. Game. Changer. Smartest bassinet ever. It will swaddle, sway and shush (white noise) your baby to sleep. It’s basically a night nurse for a lot less money. A dream saver. See what I did there?”
  3. Bebe Au Lait Swaddles: “Who doesn’t love a muslin swaddle blanket?! Great for home or on the go. Use it in your stroller or as a car seat blanket without overheating the precious cargo!!!!”
