Celebrating Life’s Small Miracles, One Lawn at a Time
As a postpartum care provider, I’ve witnessed so many tender, beautiful “firsts.” The first feed. The first time a mama exhales and lets herself rest. The first moment a family really feels like a family.
But there’s one first that often gets overlooked in the chaos of birth and recovery:
✨ The first time you bring your baby home.
That moment deserves to be celebrated just as much as the birth itself—and that’s why I absolutely love what Mama and Me Storks is doing for families across Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas.
Turning a Front Lawn into a Welcome Home Moment
At Moonlight Nurturer, I support families during the raw, real postpartum days. And trust me—when you're sleep-deprived, bleeding, and trying to learn how to swaddle with one hand while holding a baby in the other... it’s easy to forget that this moment is worthy of celebration.
Mama and Me Storks creates beautiful, personalized stork signs that greet families right in their front yard. It may seem like a simple gesture—but when I’ve pulled into a client’s driveway and seen one of those signs standing tall on the lawn, I’ve seen tears in a mother’s eyes. Not from exhaustion this time, but from feeling seen.
It says:
🕊️ “This is a big deal.”
🕊️ “Your baby matters.”
🕊️ “You’re not alone—your community is celebrating with you.”
Supporting the Village Mentality
You’ve probably heard me say it a dozen times, but it’s worth repeating: postpartum is not meant to be done alone.
What I love about Mama and Me Storks is how they naturally extend the village. Grandparents gift the sign. Friends surprise the new parents. Neighbors pause and smile. And suddenly, this big life transition feels a little more held.
It aligns so beautifully with what I do at Moonlight Nurturer: creating a soft place to land when everything feels new, overwhelming, and sacred all at once.
How It Works — And Why I Recommend It to My Clients
For any of the families I support, I always look for ways to bring joy into the experience—even in the smallest ways. Mama and Me Storks makes that easy.
Here’s what they offer:
✨ Pink or blue stork signs with personalized bundles
✨ Sibling stars to help big brothers and sisters feel seen
✨ Grandparent signs (YES, please—let’s celebrate them too!)
✨ Delivery + pickup, so it’s one less thing for parents to worry about
And the best part? You get to keep the personalized bundle as a keepsake.
So while I’m inside holding space for rest, healing, and late-night feeds, Mama and Me Storks is outside making sure the world knows:
Something magical just happened here.
A Love Letter to Celebrating the Small, Big Things
Sometimes, what new parents need most is a reminder that they’re doing something extraordinary. Bringing life into the world. Starting something new. Becoming someone new.
That’s what postpartum care is all about—and what stork signs help express.
If you’re expecting (or planning a surprise for someone who is), I highly recommend checking out Mama and Me Storks. They’re local. They’re thoughtful. They’re part of the growing circle of support that Pittsburgh families deserve.
Because yes, the big things matter. But sometimes, it’s the little moments that stick with you forever.
