The latest craze taking over social media! Moms everywhere are using the PicsArt app to turn their breastfeeding (and bottle feeding and SNS feeding, etc!) photos into beautiful works of art! I must say, this is THE BEST fad to hit the interwebs in a long time! Head over to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/TAOBirth) to read the original article and get instructions (it's super easy!) on how to create your own amazing breastfeeding art!

ONE MORE PIECE OF NEWS... I just finished this second birth affirmation coloring book in my Bringing Baby Earthside series. "Bringing Baby Earthside: Meditations for an Empowered Birth" This coloring book is more abstract in its interpretation and imagery of the birth affirmations, and I really think you will love it! I plan on doing a Kickstarter campaign to get this baby in print this time around! I'm not a huge company. I am just a mom and a wife here behind the scenes running this wee little business. I love it, but printing large quantities of books costs $$$ and all of your support means THE WORLD to me and my family! The larger the order I place with my printer, means the cheaper the book is for all of you! Please consider helping to fund this next coloring book! I will love you forever and ever! More details will follow when I get everything set up. 💜

We brought our flowers in off the porch as it has been getting pretty cold overnight these last few days. I was standing in the kitchen making breakfast and looking at our pretty flowers. This particular flower stuck out to me. Is it any wonder? How beautiful and delicate! It reminded me of one of our pages in Bringing Baby Earthside. I was so inspired! God’s creation, nature, is truly a marvel. So intricate and full of His wisdom.

Be inspired today. Take time to just be, to focus, to breathe, to pray. If you are waiting on your baby to make their way earthside, relax, trust your body, trust your baby, listen to your instincts. Be present and calm. Enjoy every moment, for every moment is sacred.

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” -Lao Tzu

FINALLY finishing up the coloring for our Nourishing Baby cover! Next step will be to digitize it along with the other pages. The completion of this coloring book is so close I can almost taste it! Not that I taste our products....I don't do that....honest....that would be weird.

Hustling hard over here! Good lunch and a great, sunny view. Won't be long now before Nourishing Baby is complete! I'm getting so giddy with excitement. This second project of ours took a little longer than expected, but it is going to be AWESOME. You won't be disappointed. X {Trinity}

[theartofbirth]

All 11 pages of our Nourishing Baby coloring book (and the cover)! We are super excited about this coloring book; it is SO CLOSE to completion! Get pumped, y'all!

[theartofbirth]

Just finished up the final coloring page for our next coloring book, Nourishing Baby!

This second coloring book project definitely took us longer than we estimated…..we were a little overzealous, methinks. But we are finally done with the physical drawings and now it is off to digitizing! The digital phase is actually already partially done, so as long as my editing programs cooperate it shouldn’t be too difficult. Ha! My ancient version of Photoshop seems to have some kind of vendetta against me. But, slowly I am working on upgrading…everything…so that my creative process can flow much smoother and seamlessly. Plus, we will be able to get projects completed soooo much faster! And that is good for EVERYONE. 😁😃

This sweet, sweet boy! So much love, be still my heart. Such a strong little man! Warning, tissues needed.

[theartofbirth]

Let us introduce ourselves!

I (Trinity) was born and raised in York, PA. I am 28 years old and married my husband, Marlin, in January 2009. We had one little boy in September 2011 and another in September 2013! I am a stay-at-home mom with a passion for art, creativity, and all things birth related, so I was obviously so excited when Amber contacted me with the idea of doing a collaborative project: A birth affirmations coloring book!

Amber was born and raised in Lancaster, PA and lives in the city with her husband and 3 active little boys. She has been a doula since 2012 and found her life’s calling supporting mothers as they transition into motherhood. She is currently working her way through nursing school and making plans with her husband to simplify their life and build their very own Tiny House!

I have known Amber for several years and she was actually my doula for my last birth! We met when I was pregnant with my first son, and hit it off right away as we found out we both went to the same birthing center! She initially sent me a message about doing a coloring book after I posted a drawing I had done on social media and half-jokingly captioned it with, “I should publish a coloring book…”. I didn’t think twice.

We started planning right away and sharing our work and progress on facebook and instagram. We got SUCH a good response! We were completely unprepared and knew nothing about starting, owning, or running a small business….and we REALLY didn’t know anything about printing or publishing! To say the least, we have learned a LOT in a very short amount of time. We have had moments where we want to tear our hair out and we have had moments of ecstatic joy. We never planned at the beginning to *actually* start a business! We just thought this would be a fun little project we could do and maybe make a little cash.

But we have certainly been humbled. We’ve received all kinds of wonderful and touching comments and messages from mothers all across the country and the world! Our coloring books have been shipped to Hawaii, Alaska, California, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, and many other states, as well as to other countries like Germany, Jamaica, Austria, Australia, the UK, and Canada! We are so, so honored that our work is inspiring and empowering women and mothers around the world. We still can hardly believe it!

We are incredibly thankful for the support we have received and are working hard to finish up our next project, another coloring book, Nourishing Baby! So stay tuned!

Love, Trinity + Amber
