motherblessings
the alternative babyshower
Traditionally in almost all cultures women have gathered together before the birth to wish the mother well. Motherblessings are celebrations of pregnant women and their transition into motherhood. These special mother-centered gatherings offer friends and family a fresh approach to honoring, supporting, nurturing, and encouraging mothers-to-be.
I can help you plan and/or officiate at your motherblessing - including such examples as below...
each person brings two beads, one for the baby and one for mom. A necklace is then made for the mother and a bracelet for the baby
everyone is given a candle that will later burn during the birth
the woman of honor is groomed (which is pretty typical of most Blessing Ways). Comb her hair and give her a footbath with rose petal - lavender water, and massage her hands.
There are many other things to include or try out and there is something for everyone.
