The Big Blue Blanket:

support for you and your baby

What's the Big Blue Blanket all about? My children are not small anymore, but when they were younger... every week we'd meet at the park with friends. The kids would run amok, and the adults and babies would create a space for ourselves on an oversized bright blue blanket. Eventually, the Big Blue Blanket became a symbol of a place to find some peace, honesty, friendship, shared experience and support.
That feeling is what Big Blue Blanket gatherings are all about. It's a place to be honest about how utterly magnificent and utterly horrible the first few months of parenting can be. A place of non-judgemental acceptance and support.
Hosting BBB gatherings is me- Desiree. Look around my website to find out more about who I am.
