Happy Mother’s Day from Blooma

Hello, sweet mamas! We’re wishing you a day full of much love, caring, and understanding for yourself on this day.

Motherhood is surely the most difficult (and most rewarding) job you’ll ever do — and for this, you deserve a bubble bath, mimosa, massage, and flowers. But mostly, you deserve a day off! A gold medal!

For all the sleepless nights and times you’ve kissed boo-boos, for all the lunches you pack and ways you teach and guide your little ones, Happy Mother’s Day.

To mamas who may be suffering from postpartum depression or anxiety, we know this day may not be one you feel like celebrating at the moment, and that’s okay, too. For help, see our list of resources.

Wherever you are at in your stage of pregnancy or motherhood, we at Blooma wish you this:

  • much loving kindness toward yourself
  • an inner knowing that you are a good enough mom (you don’t have to be perfect!)
  • a tingly, sparkly feeling that says, “you are loved beyond measure!”
  • a day off to simply be

Big hugs to each and every one of you!

Love,

Alisa, Sarah & the women of Blooma

Celebrate Mother’s Day Near & Far with These Great Gifts

With so many wonderful ways to support mothers both locally and abroad, we at Blooma thought we’d offer a few Mother’s Day gift ideas.

• Support local mothers in need (and support doula care) with this gift to your mom or to yourself — become an Isis Rising founding mother! Isis Rising is a prison-based pregnancy, birth, and parenting program provided to women at Shakopee Women’s Prison.

If you donate $25, $100 or another amount in your mother’s name, she’ll receive a hand-made Mother’s Day Card. Donations of $100 or more will qualify the honorary donor as an Isis Rising “Founding Mother,” and their name(s) will be incorporated into a public art piece to be hung and displayed at Isis’ parent organization, Everyday Miracles Pregnancy Center. Donations of $500 or more will also include a bouquet of flowers hand-delivered by an Everyday Miracles volunteer (if in the Twin Cities area).

• Near and dear to Sarah’s heart  is Shanti Uganda, which began with a vision to bring the healing power of yoga and conscious birth to communities experiencing trauma in Uganda. (This is where Sarah helped build a birth center in 2010 with the generous support of Blooma families!).

The gorgeous beaded jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, and earrings), handmade yoga mat bags and handbags sold through Shanti Uganda are available in celebration of Mother’s Day at 40% off, AND support women who’ve graduated from the Income Generating Training Program. Each woman must be HIV positive and either a grandmother taking care of multiple grandchildren, a widow or in a situation of extreme poverty. Just enter  ”springcleaning” at checkout for the discount.

• The book from National Public Radio called Mom: A Celebration of Mom from StoryCorps ($14) makes a great gift for your own mom, grandmother, sister, or new-mom friend. ”Meet mothers and children of all kinds—immigrants, adult children caring for an elderly parent, a woman remembering the sound of her mother’s laugh, and visit families in moments of profound joy and sadness, courage and despair, struggle and triumph.”

• And of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t recommend a Blooma gift card for your loved ones — great for using toward any of our yoga classes or a wellness service such as a massage or acupuncture.

Happy (almost) Mother’s Day from Blooma!

Love,

Alisa, Sarah & the women of Blooma
