The Sakura Bloom Styleathon, Round 2 Roundup!

Elizabeth Antonia, of The Littlest, will pull at your heartstrings

with her post, Mama Kanga, Baby Roo

For their Round 2 entries, The Sakura Bloom Styleathon bloggers were asked to create a look inspired by their sense of adventure or occasion -- and wowza, did they ever deliver the goods! I am so inspired, delighted, and amazed by these wonderful mamas and their gorgeous images and beautiful thoughts on babywearing and life. Here's a little preview, but be sure to click through to each blog to see every post in its entirety.

In her post, Natalie of NatTheFatRat pontificates as only she can, with quirky humor and grace to spare, on living the life of your dreams.

Aura, of Aura Joon, again melds poetry and soulful reflections on motherhood

with beautiful images of her own little paradise in Why I Choose to Wear My Baby.

Against a stunning natural background, Danielle, of Sometimes Sweet,

talks movingly in her post about how babywearing has enriched her life.

"Miss" James, of Bleubird Vintage, offers a post full of tender thoughts about savoring closeness with her little one in a sling. And she rocks the heck out of a pair of Chloe heels.

In Adventures in Babywearing, Joanna, of A Cup of Jo, goes fishing for the first time

and finds her sling to be the perfect aid to outdoorsy adventuring with Toby.

This time, Melisa, of The Lil Bee, bonds with her oldest daughter through

sling-wearing, and the importance of transforming everyday routines into magical adventures.

In a beautiful, sun-drenched post, Jen, of Jen Loves Kev, talks about how babywearing helps her to instill her daughter with a deep passion for adventure and living life to the fullest.

Please check out all the Round 2 posts, and let me know what you think! Who are your favorites? Which mama's words resonate most with your own experience? I would love to know your thoughts!
