We thought that it would be nice for our PAXfriends to get to know our amazing PAXmommies that work so hard behind the scenes.
Introducing: PAXmommy Christina
Q: How long have you been a PAXmommy??
A: A little over 2 years now! Baby #3 was just a little peanut in my tummy when I joined the team.
Q: What is your job, here at PAXbaby.com??
A: I have the honor of helping mamas find the babywearing love by giving “prescription” advice. Customers ask for help in picking out a carrier, they answer a list of questions, and based on their answers, I suggest what I think will work best for them and their needs. I also take care of some of the general customer service inquiries, and answer voicemail messages.

Q: What was your first PAXbaby purchase???
A: It wasn’t even a baby carrier, actually! I purchased some amber necklaces for myself and my little one. Shortly after, I bought a Beco Butterfly II.
Q: What was your “gateway carrier”??
A: A Sleepy Wrap – I bought it when my first was teeny, but hardly used it with her. Then when #2 was born, he lived in that thing! But it was the middle of summer, so I’m very thankful that a leader from the local babywearing group spotted me at a mommy meetup, about to put it on, and she rushed over with a Didymos linen blend wrap and showed me how to use it… I fell down the rabbit hole *very* soon after that!
Q: How many babies do you have?? Can you tell us a little about them?
A: Three! My oldest is 5 and a very spunky, free-spirited little lady who speaks like she’s going on 30, my second is 3 and is my sweet snuggly little guy, and my youngest is 21 months and quite the sassy little diva toddler!
Q: Does your husband baby wear??

Q: Does your husband baby wear??
A: He does occasionally! Usually when we’re at Disneyland and I want take one of my older kiddos on a ride, or whenever he’s parenting solo.
Q: What advice would you a brand new babywearer??
A: Find a local babywearing group! Not only will you get some guidance to help you choose a carrier from the hundreds of options that are out there, but you might also find an incredible community of like-minded mamas and source of support to help you along your parenting journey. It takes a village, and I’m so thankful for the mama tribe that I’ve found through babywearing!
Q: Tell us a little known fact about you!
A: I have this insane ability to memorize lines from movies and tv shows – I probably know every line from every episode of Friends that ever aired! But I’m awful with names. When I meet new people, their names slip from my memory almost instantly, it’s SO embarrassing!
Q: Do you have any hobbies?
A: You mean besides babies and babywearing? I love to surf! Before we had kids, that’s how my husband and I spent most of our spare time. I’m a bit out of practice now, so it’s one of the things I’m looking forward to getting back to as my kids get older (*if* we don’t have any more babies, that is!).
Q: If you had to choose between wraps, buckles, or a wcrs what would you choose??
AL Definitely wraps! I love that I could use one wrap to comfortably wear any of my kids, and that I can choose from a variety of carries to do with it. I absolutely love geeking out over all the different designs, fiber blends, textures, etc.
Q: How do you manage your time as a WAHM?
A: I try not to do work when my kids are awake, other than a quick check in here and there – not that they would let me concentrate much anyway! I do what I can during nap time, and I’m a night owl, so I don’t mind staying up late to work. The hot spot feature on my phone and indoor play spaces are so wonderful when I do need to get stuff done during the day. The hardest thing is making sure I have a quiet moment for returning phone calls, because I can’t really do that at 11pm, like I can with email!
Q: As a self-proclaimed wrap lover, do your kids each have a legacy wrap??? If so, which is it?
A: I’m a terrible churner, because I just have to #tryallthethings! But I do have a few wraps now that I don’t think I could ever sell, no matter how badly I need to de-stash, so I will probably let them each choose one to keep from those that are left when my wearing days are over.
