I’m really excited to bring you July’s Blog of the Month. Donna and I have known each other in the blogosphere for quite a while now and I just think she is a fabulous person who offers some great advice and also a wonderful product for all moms. I hope you will enjoy it!
I’m Donna…Some around the blogosphere know me as Nesting Momma. I want to thank Becki for honoring http://www.blessednestperch.com with blog of the month! What a wonderful gift and blessing!
A little bit about me…I’m a wife, momma of two sweet girls, a SAHM, WAHM and educator of my children. I’m part owner of Blessed Nest,Inc with two other wonderful women, Heather and Isabelle. We work hard every day running our company BlessedNest.com; home of the organic Nesting Pillow.
The BlessedNestperch.com, our blog, was designed to bring you the best of Blessed Nest and the best of the world around you. We are a community of Mom’s, Auntie’s and friends who have joined together to bring you our best! Our writings include topics on organic living, parenting, nurturing, breastfeeding, notes about the day in the life at Blessed Nest and more…We also write product reviews and host giveaways!
Our mission as a company is to clearly and consistently provide simpler ways for moms to nurture, without compromise to the responsible and ethical treatment of people and planet. Blessed Nest was founded in 2004 by me (Donna) and my friend, Heather Anderson. Heather knew that I was struggling with finding a way to comfortably breastfeed my first baby. She used her experience in childcare, design and sewing to create a gift for ME. That gift was the Nesting Pillow, a nursing pillow that answered all of the needs of a mom (form, function, style, safety, ethics). Having spent my pre-mom years working in the children’s clothing industry; I knew right away that the Nesting Pillow was something that would be a big hit with moms everywhere, so I encouraged Heather to take it to the world! Heather and Isabelle work out of the Blessed Nest studio in Brooklyn, NY and I (Donna) work from my home in Southern CA to nurture the company that helps families nurture their newest additions.
About The Organic Nesting Pillow: The Nesting Pillow is a 30” wide, 16” deep and 5” high quarter moon-shape made of organic cotton canvas, filled with organic buckwheat hulls. The unique attributes of the organic buckwheat hull filling assure stability and flexibility, while allowing air to circulate. This provides stable body support and proper positioning for the infant, making feeding more comfortable for both child and caregiver. These properties also make it beneficial as a sleeping pillow, for support during pregnancy and childbirth, and even to make lap-top computer use more comfortable. Each Nesting Pillow comes with an easily removable, washable slipcover made of organic cotton French Terry and a great selection of cotton print fabrics. Additional slipcovers are also available. All of our products are made in the USA and our buckwheat fill is purchased from an organic, pesticide free farm in the USA as well. We purchase all supplies in the USA when possible or from companies practicing fair trade.
A Note from a mom who has used our Nesting Pillow:
“The Organic Nesting Pillow is superbly designed and the quality is exceptional. The unique crescent shape conforms beautifully to my body and the buckwheat filling is marvelous. I have the option to redistribute the weight of the hulls to my comfort and my baby’s comfort; something that is simply not possible with any other pillow. This pillow supports my baby’s weight and lessens the mechanical stress on my neck, shoulder and arms, which I am so grateful for. I have tried every nursing position possible and this pillow clearly out perform the competition! The buckwheat pillow stays cool and comfortable even in the warmest weather and allows my baby to feed in comfort. I won’t have to worry about this pillow deflating or compressing over time or even attracting mold, bacteria and dust mites! The slipcover is very stylish and modern and I really love how easily it unzips to allow me to machine wash the slipcover. I know that I will be able to continue to use this pillow well after I have finished breastfeeding and this makes me very happy. My toddler is always wanting to hold his baby brother and we can now do this safely under our supervision by having my toddler sit on the floor and placing the nesting pillow on his lap and gentle lowering the baby onto the pillow. The designers have clearly thought of everything with this pillow and this pillow is worth every penny.”
