Special thanks to Marybeth at Downside Up and Outside In for coordinating the giveaways for the Carnival. Here are the exciting giveaways we have currently;
From Etsy seller and breastfeeding mama Leslie at Wildroot Botanicals, we have a donation of Sore Nipple Salve with Organic Lanolin, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Locally sourced beeswax, Organic Coco Butter and ethically wildcrafted herbs. Wildroot Botanicals is a small family business located in the lovely Pacific Northwest. They specialize in wild harvests from the lush environment and growing medicinals out at their farm. They love working with plants and believe in the importance of small-scale and using one’s own hands to ensure quality. Products are made in small batches like our grandparents used to craft, ensuring the highest quality.
All of their creations are crafted and distilled from fresh and freshly dried botanicals. All ingredients are high quality organic, ethically wildcrafted and fair trade certified, free of artificial fragrances, chemicals or preservatives. Be sure to check out their other lovely products, such as their postpartum gift basket.
Etsy shop Innerwolfbatik, is operated by husband and wife team Micha & Shannon Rodgers. Micha learned the art of batik while following the Grateful Dead. What started out as a way to make it to the next show soon turned into a passion. Micha met Shannon and fell deeply in love, and now they have two beautiful little ones. Shannon also is a breastfeeding mama to both her 2year old and a new born, and a happy supporter of Nursing in Public. They have donated a beautiful onesie (which they can make in any size from infant to adult if you are interested in wearing your breastfeeding support in a fun and colorful way) to show off your breastfeeding pride! Winner will receive one onesie in their choice of 3-6mth or 6-9mth.
From ERGOBaby we have the donation of one new Ergo Baby Carrier. The ERGObaby Carrier is a great way to nurture your baby.The ERGObaby Carrier’s ergonomic design supports your baby’s natural seated position, the carefully researched design also supports your posture by distributing your baby’s weight between your shoulders and hips, thus allowing you to comfortably carry your baby for hours at a time. We breastfeeding Mamas love the Ergo Baby Carrier for maintaining an active lifestyle and it’s comfort while breastfeeding and babywearing. One participant will win an Ergo Baby Carrier, choice dependent upon stock available

You Gotta Love That Art!
Are you loving the badges for this Carnival as much as I am? This beautiful artwork is by Erika Hastings at Mudspice. Erika Hastings is an artist and a stay-at-home mother with three children. She has been breastfeeding for 7 years (and still going!). She often paints about her life, and since her life now revolves around three amazing and energetic children, that is what she paints about. Parenting is the hardest thing she has ever done and she often uses her paintings as a way of working through the never-ending issues that parenting brings up. She thinks of her paintings as VISUAL affirmations, prayers, mantras and reminders of what she wants in her life. She hangs up the art in a prominent place and allows herself to soak up the image until it becomes a part of her life. Visit her to see her other amazing works.
Our list of available badges is growing! If you have a special request, please let us know. Help spread the word about a woman and baby’s right to nurse Anywhere and Anytime.
