Birthday Giveaway: The Recovery Kit
Whether a woman's delivery mirrors her birth plan to the letter, or is the complete opposite of what was envisioned (as was the case for me), postpartum recovery can be challenging; self care is hugely important but often takes a back seat to caring for baby. And the folks at The Recovery Kit want to help women focus on healing; their stylish kits include pretty totes or diaper bags filled with accessories, teas, balms, and healing remedies to help women along the path to restoration. For our 3rd birthday party, The Recovery Kit is offering one lucky winner their Childbirth MINI kit ($125 value). Simply check out the rules below and leave a comment on this giveaway to enter to win (by midnight EST, Tuesday, August 18).
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
Congrats to winner Ruth!

What a perfect gift for many of my friends that are having newborns soon. A stylish bag and a gift that would make a friend grateful and excited (as most of the time the baby is the focus but the mommy should get a nice treat too).

Posted by: Rosanne | August 18, 2009 10:18 PM | Reply to this comment
I'm 36wks pregnant with my 1st, a little girl who we're naming Frost. I'm scared to death of going into labor & giving birth, well honestly everything about being pregnant has freaked me out. I'm also terrified that I'll be a horrible mother, mainly because babies never interested me. I've always been alot better with animals.
The hubby & I are going through a really tough time right now & are about to be moving in less than 2wks into a small 30ft camper & will be living on his family's land which comes complete with my mother in law, grandfather, uncles, cousins, brother in laws & friends of the family who all live right there together pretty much. (Yea we live in GA, lol)
I'm not looking forward to having to raise my baby her first 6 months in a cramped camper right beside my in laws watchful eyes, that scares the heck outta me. Not to mention it could get really annoying or worse...
I'd love to win this kit! The belly bandit would hopefully help me out alot since I'm still preggy & have been having back troubles the entire time. All of the rest of the items I think goes without saying how handy they'd be!!
