I am from Puerto Rico and so far this hurricane season has been brutal. In 2 weeks we have been hit with 2 category 5 hurricanes.  So how do you keep your kids entertained for a week with no power? As soon as I knew a hurricane was coming I printed off lots of activities, bingo cards and playing cards. This helped a lot since my 7 year old had lots to do to distract himself from the sound of the winds and being scared.  My one year old in the other hand was content with having her boob available. Babywearing is my savior so on these instances have a baby carrier ready. If I had to evacuate this was in one of my bags.  For the adults I have powerbanks to charge our phones and lanterns and also battery powered fans.  Also lots and lots of snacks... Hurricanes make adults hungry for some reason I believe it's the anxiety.  Most important of all is to be in a safe place and to not go out until it is over.  Hope this helps someone in a similar situation. 

Ever since I gave birth I have wanted to baby wear. This time around I informed myself on the subject. Then I chose my carrier incorrectly a couple of times. Now I have a stash of carriers I use everyday. The full buckle : This carrier is a favorite when going to multiple places or getting into and out of my car multiple times because of the simplicity of putting it on. If you have your sweet spot down you'll be comfortable and happy. If you want to share a carrier a full buckle is not ideal since you will spend precious time finding your sweet spot a lot and you will be uncomfortable in the meantime.  The onbuhimo : I love my onbuhimo!! It is extremely easy to get on and off and it is super compact so it can go anywhere. This is not a carrier for long periods of wearing, even after having the sweet spot down my back will hurt if I wear a long period.  The Meh dai : This is by far my favorite carrier. We are getting into back carries more and more and it is becoming second natur
