Here is a guest post from my incredible dad.  A peak into my paternal past. A voice that speaks to my love of the Earth and to her medicine, of adventure and exploration.  I am so honored for his words to be read and shared.

There is a Better Way!

Natural, pure, clean, deodorant.  A wonderful alternative for your pits. You do not need to make any sacrifices for fresh-smelling armpits.

I wouldn’t particularly call myself the “Cool Mom.” 

Maybe the adventurous mom, the “1000 hours outside” mom, the "immerse yourself in nature" mom, and definitely the “eat all of your cabbage” mom.  However, even I love cool products that may (or may not) make me seem a little cooler.

The elation of becoming a new mother is unparalleled. 

It is full and unfettered joy.  There is the little cocoon you create of blissful perfection.  Your new little family, the immense love that fills your heart and home, settling in to a new routine, and getting to know the incredible tiny human you just grew.

I LOVE breastfeeding. So much so, that I have been nursing for 7.5 years straight.  Non-stop through 2 pregnancies, and tandem nursed for a period after each second and third child was born. Nursing is an incredible bonding experience and I have been very blessed to have had an easy nursing journey.  I also had an abundance of support from the very beginning.  I home birthed all 3 children with a midwife and, in every way possible, the care and support was top notch.

One of those quality products is the Baby Booty Balm.  Not meant to be the butt of funny jokes.  Rather, a healing and soothing diaper cream that is full of nourishing, organic, herbal goodness and clean ingredients you can trust, and free of a laundry list of things that should never touch your baby’s skin but is commonly found in most other diaper creams.

Boo Boo Balm is an infusion of herbs whose properties were specifically chosen to help heal the little owies life presents.  The herbs are gently, slowly infused using a low heat method into pure, organic oil then strained leaving behind deep green, earthy smelling goodness.

Pregnancy truly is one of the most beautiful experiences in a woman’s life.  I liken it to watching a rose in the spring.  You see the new growth and color sprouting after the winter. Then the smallest rose bud appears, and every day after, you can watch the bud grow until, petal by petal, it blooms into the loveliest of flowers, fragrant and glowing with color. 

The search for truly clean products in the sea of “natural beauty” products available can be overwhelming and disappointing.  Aligning myself with the intention of creating with and from the purity of nature was born out of that frustration.
