Blessed Nest — Giveaway-A-Day 12/7
Find the winner for yesterday's Giveaway at the bottom of this post.
____________
Recently, I tried a buckwheat filled pillow at the salon and I LOVED it. Then I got a head's up from a friend and was delighted to see that the geniuses at Blessed Nest had figured out that buckwheat could be used to make the perfect nursing pillows. My baby will be 7 months old on Saturday. She's getting heavier and nursing is getting less comfortable — which makes me super-excited to receive my soon-to-arrive Blessed Nest Pillow! But I'm not the only one. The very fortunate winner of today's Giveaway will receive their very own 100% ORGANIC NESTING PILLOW FROM BLESSED NEST AS WELL!!!
Blessed Nest has long been making amazing Nesting Pillows. Originally designed to make nursing easier, they are currently used wherever an excellent pillow comes in handy — on airplanes, under tired legs or sore backs, and definitely as a support for baby while nursing.
Even better, Blessed Nest is about to launch their 100% Organic line (the current line is 95% organic, but they're shooting for perfection). All of the Nesting Pillows are filled with organic buckwheat hulls, the canvas used on the inside pillow are made of 100% organic cotton (grown and milled in the US!) and the terry and French loop terry used on the top and bottom of all of the slipcovers are 100% organic cotton. Blessed Nest will feature limited edition Eco Pillows through their own website and through a new site launching next year. Today's winner will receive an "advance copy" of this Eco Pillow in the fabric of their choice.
Love, love the current textile selection (this is just a sampling!):
Blessed Nest is committed to making moms' lives easier, more comfortable and stylish, but also to create a healthier environment for their babies to grow up in. They print on recycled paper, re-use shipping boxes, and support other eco and people friendly companies. How can you not love the eco-friendly vibe?
There's a fab story behind this company — an end to one design career launched the start of a new one. And lots of lovely testimonials on their site. Take a look and attempt to pick which one you'll give to that new mother you have in mind. You can bet it will be a most appreciated gift.
Thank you, Blessed Nest!

Who knew a nursing pillow could be so cute?
I love how they have an ecological approach! I hope to become a nursing mom in the next year :)

I could put this to good use in about 10 weeks. Fingers crossed!
I want one, too.
i nurse all day. and my back hurts. this would be perfect!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these fabrics!
My day consists of nursing, nursing and more nursing. I need this pillow!!
This might be just what I need to make nursing easier. Three weeks into it and it's still not natural to me!
You can never have too many pillows!
Super cute pillow. I could use a good pillow
Looks so comfy!
I am so happy to know about these. They look comfy.
The fabrics are amazing. Who doesn't want to nurse in style?
Amazing! Where do you find this great stuff?

And to think we're in the midst of trying to have another little one!! This is so a hint to tell me to try harder!!
Baby on the way.
As a nursing mom, that pillow makes my heart sing!
I'll be nursing again in a few months. I love all the prints they have to choose from too!
great designs. this would be a great gift ...
I love it. I am NOT a nursing mom, but I can think of about 10 other great uses for this pillow....
What a great idea! Beautiful patterns.
beautiful buckwheat.
Perfect for nursing? Now all I need is to get my 6 month old to FOCUS while nursing--so distractible!
This would be perfect for my little sister! She's due in March!
out with boppy in with blessed nest.
So, my sister-in-law in having twins; do you think two little bundles would fit in one cute nest? :)
I love Blessed Nest!
I never did try a nursing pillow -- this looks like a perfect one to start with!!
Makes me want to take a nap.
I like the fact there are so many uses for the pillows.
My brother's wife is having twins! How fun to be able to give them one. Love the new organic fabric. ;)
I need this one!
Nursing pillows are so helpful. And these look lovely as well.
The Blessed Nest is great for sleeping too, my husband and I both use one :)
Those are fantastic!
I love my buckwheat travel pillow - but a nice "at home" size would be so great!
Now they come out with this stuff...but it would be a great gift for a new nursing mother!
I know a new mother who would sigh with pleasure for something so stylish and comfortable.

What a great idea. Organic is the way to go with babies. They shouldn't be exposed to nasty fabric dyes and fibers. love it. oh p.s., did I tell you I was expecting, Gabby? Congratulations to me!
Love it!
I love the Zebra hide print and [unfortunately], I'm still a nursing mom to my 18 month old son.
Hoping today is my lucky day to be picked. Love it.
I've given this pillow to several people as a gift and it was a big hit at the baby showers. I hope to get one when my baby comes in July :)
I would love one of these!
Would love to win this. A friend is pregnant with twins after 8 years of trying & this would be a great gift!
Wow, I want that!
Looks soft!
A beautiful product that aids nursing mothers (either physically or psychologically) merits serious attention.
We need more of them!
That would be a great gift for a sleepless pregnant lady (no announcement, just an observation).
the prints are fabulous!
This would be great timely win!
Good christmas gift for sisters and sisters-in-law.
95% organic, nice.
Hey... I'm the proud sister of the Blessed Nest Head Chick-a-dee! Heather follows in the footsteps of our Great-Grandma who sewed with love and quality. Of course I'd love to win one of these to give to a friend's Autistic daughter. My son is Autistic & let me tell you, ladies, these pillows are wonderful for sensory integration issues associated with many people with special needs.
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful! It will be perfect for me to use when I have my second baby...hopefully soonish. ;)
I'd love to be able to use that for the next one. Anything to make things more comfortable.
It looks so comfortable, my baby would probably fall asleep instead of eat.
I spend most of my time nursing laying down with my baby - it's so much easier than trying to wrangle my boppy or a lifted leg. I could use a Blessed Nest. ;-)
Fun, Fun, Fun
sounds good to me!
blessed nest, what a darling name!
What a comfy treat, and so stylish!
I can't sleep without an extra pillow. This will be perfect for me!
I am not planning on doing any more nursing in my life, but I could find a use for this!
now I need to go shopping again! THose are adorable!
OK, I nurse my kids for YEARS. I'm really gonna need this!
My (almost) eleven-month old twins would enjoy this addition to our cuddle-and-feed times.
(I think I might enjoy it more, though!)
(Especially with such adorable fabric!)
what a "blessed" alternative to the Boppy! Love the fabric!
I love the Wild Child print! It's just too appropriate. Ha!
Yum! How cozy. And I love all the fantastic fabric choices.
I hope I'm not too late!
My baby is 9 months old and my back is KILLING me from nursing. Maybe this would help!
