🌟 SAFE BABYWEARING REMINDER: The T.I.C.K.S. Checklist 🌟

Babywearing keeps our little ones close, calm, and connected — but safety always comes first!
Here’s the well-known T.I.C.K.S. Babywearing Safety Checklist to help you wear your baby confidently and correctly:

T — Tight
Your carrier should be snug enough to hug baby close to you. Loose fabric can allow baby to slump.

I — In View at All Times
You should always be able to see your baby’s face by simply looking down—no fabric covering their nose or mouth.

C — Close Enough to Kiss
Baby should be high on your chest so you can easily kiss the top of their head.

K — Keep Chin Off Chest
Make sure there’s at least a finger-width of space under baby’s chin. Their airway should always remain open.

S — Supported Back
Baby’s back should be well supported in a natural position, and they shouldn’t slump or fold.

✨ Whether you're wearing a wrap, sling, or structured carrier, the T.I.C.K.S. checklist is your quick, easy guide to safe snuggles. Stay close, stay safe, and enjoy the bonding! 💛👶✨

Life is super stressful right now – I really could just hide in my bed and only drag myself out to do the days necessary tasks… But I know through all my research that getting up early and doing my favourite form of exercise – lifting heavy weights – is good for my immediate mental health along with the long-term benefits of consistent lifting.

Regular exercise is not about motivation – motivation comes from consistency – you want to be respected? Be consistent!

🚴‍♂️ Morning ride done! Clocked 17 km this morning and feeling fantastic.

Here’s what I’m celebrating:
* According to Heart Foundation Australia, cardiovascular disease (CVD) still claims about 1 in 4 deaths — roughly one person every 12 minutes. (heartfoundation.org.au)
* And biking isn’t just fun — it works. Riding regularly helps strengthen the heart muscle, lower resting pulse rate, reduce blood-fat levels and boost cardiovascular health. (Healthdirect)
* In fact, those who cycle to work have been shown to have up to 46% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to drivers/public-transport users. (SBS Australia)
* And on the Aussie front: the 2023 WeRide Australia report found cycling contributed around $954 million in health & social benefits, including $313 million in health-system savings. (Ausleisure)

So yep — today’s 17 km ride is not just a ride, it’s an investment in my heart, health and long-term well-being. 💪
