Babywearing Triathlon: Meet Danielle G. Van Ess

Danielle G. Van Ess lives just south of Boston in Hingham, MA. and is Mom to 3 daughters ages: almost 5, just turned 3, and 6 weeks old today. Danielle chose Storm from Sakura Bloom's Pure linen collection as her first sling for the challenge.

"I've been wearing my babies (New Native Baby Carrier pouch sling & Baby Bjorn) since my oldest was a newborn (6 yrs ago). This is my first time trying a ring sling at all and I am *loving* it!"

Just a couple of her many favorite quotes: "We did not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." -Tasunke Witko / Crazy Horse

Another classic: "That family album was a record of my accomplishments! It's like what a resume is for a man." - Marge Simpson

A favorite song: "You Can Close Your Eyes" by James Taylor, because it's a bedtime song I've sung to each of my babies since they were born (the oldest requests it as "our special song").

Danielle blogs at her personal business website DGVE law.
