New at Moonday's Child

I was recently inspired to do some graphic design work (which I love) so I decided to make a couple of things for the Moonday's Child site since I haven't been in the sling-making mode lately. Quite honestly I have been hesitant due to the new toy-safety law. It is really ambiguous, but it appears that everything that is for children must be tested for lead content. This would mean I would need costly tests for both the fabric and the rings used on every baby sling. I am not sure where that leaves Moonday's Child at this point. I have heard that revisions are coming and I know lots of artisan toy-makers are disgruntled.
Anyway, please take a moment to check out my new items here. These would be really lovely gifts for Mamas...don't forget Mother's day (Sunday May 10)! I am planning to have a few more items coming soon.

When The Flowers Return

The first day of Spring is always a magical one for me. Growing up with the bitter cold Winters of Michigan it seemed to be a promise of warmer days even if they hadn't quite made it town yet! Here in Portland, chirping birds and bright yellow Spring flowers have been sending the message that Winter is passing on for several weeks now. Experiencing the first signs of Spring and warmer days makes me feel thankful for the renewal of the Earth and her bounty.
Even though my son was born in Autumn, the Spring reminds me of his birth and the miraculous journey I undertook to bring him here. I will be the first to admit that pregnancy isn't the easiest job I have ever undertaken but it is certainly the most sacred. I am thankful for my loving husband who supported me fully and my beautiful Midwives who guided me.
If you are pregnant or will be soon, consider the respectful care of a Midwife to empower your inherent ability to bring your child into the world.
