Motherlove giveaway!! ****closed****

the most defining moment of my life was becoming a mother. for me there is no greater honor or privilege then bringing new life into this world. i have three beautiful babies and the bond i share with them is profound.

"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." Agatha Christie

last november i gave birth to my twins, damian michael and sophia grace.

i was fortunate enough to be able to hold them skin to skin almost immediately after they were born and they were both breastfeeding within thirty minutes. i knew from nursing my first son marcus that the first four weeks would be the toughest as i suffer from raynaud's phenomenon.

this is where Motherlove comes in. i discovered their nipple cream while nursing marcus when a lactation specialist recommended it and i have never looked back! this time around with the twins it was the first thing i packed in my hospital bag.

if you have ever nursed a baby before you know the pain of cracked, sore and bleeding nipples (sorry guys for the graphic details). unlike other products (i.e. lanolin) Motherlove's nipple cream is 100% certified organic and has zero toxins so it is safe for ingestion and does not have to be washed off prior to breastfeeding. damian and sophia are now six months old and i am still using this cream every day. it is an absolute life saver!! (or should i say nipple saver?)

i am a huge fan of Motherlove and i love what they stand for: 'helping women to discover the bond between motherhood and mother earth'. needless to say i have been dying to try other products in their line so Motherlove generously arranged to send me a sampling of their products. pure heaven.

for the last week we have been using the baby oil for massages after bath and it is davine!! it leaves their skin smooth as silk without being greasy. the lavender scent is mild and not too over powering.

the green salve is perfect for insect bites, bee stings and poison ivy in this house full of little ones!

the diaper rash & thrush salve works miracles on sore bottoms! best of all it is not sticky and comes off easily.
