Living It Green Expo








































Here are a few pictures from our booth at the Living It Green Expo, held September 11-15 at the Pinnacle Hills Promenade. We wish we had kept track of how many women we spoke with, but I am convinced that we reached as many as 200 women. We had a great time and met some amazing women!

One lady we met was a yoga instructor who told us about her amazing birth experience. At 9 cm she got an epidural and shortly thereafter learned that her baby was transverse (lying sideways instead of head down). Despite the fact that she had an epidural, and without the aid of a doula or midwife, she was able to get on her hands and knees to use yoga positions to turn her baby, thereby avoiding a c-section. Amazing! It's always great to get out into the community and talk to moms. You never know what stories you are going to hear!

KNWA Morning Show Highlights Pampered Mama Giveaway

Check out the interview we did with KNWA Today on the Pampered Mama Giveaway and the Birth Survey. I always come away from these interviews realizing that my nervousness results in important points being left out. I wish that I had emphasized that The Birth Survey isn't just for hospitals and doctors. You can take the survey if you had a home birth or birth center birth with a midwife. I also forgot to mention our Pickles and Ice Cream meetings. Well, hopefully people will find everything when they come to our website. We've already had an increase in hits this month since we started promoting the Pampered Mama Giveaway!
