Recently we held a special Mother Blessing Ceremony for our 5 Appleseed teachers who are all pregnant (actually Lisa gave birth in early June – more on that to come!) These five precious new mamas felt blessed by the many local small businesses who showered their best mama and baby products on the team. Each box was valued at over $200 and included:-A baby Appleseed t-shirt with logo, and a sweet apple enamel pin from @presstimedesign (these shirts and pins will be available in our shop soon!)-From Megan’s all-time favourite essential oil company Living Libations, the Baby Bundle of Joy collection for baby’s sweet skin, and a sweet tote! (@livinglibationsofficial)-Joy McCarthy from Joyous Health used this all-natural Body Butter on her baby right from birth (@joyoushealth).-Megan’s friend and yoga teacher Jazmine Stinson donated her luscious Sacred Goddess Herbal Bath Soak for each Mama to use postpartum. Check out her local and vibrant business, @littletreewellness. (She also owns and runs Wildhearts Botanicals – wildly crafted botanical and family-friendly wellness drinks!) -Every Appleseed home needs a book centered around changing our world for the better like: Antiracist Baby, the new board book by Ibram X. Kendi and Ashley Lukashevsky from @penguinkids.
