The Doula association of Southern California organized a Family Fest on May 9th in Griffith Park, LA. Melissa and Gea showed The First 8 Days of Being a Mom to a crowd of doula’s, pregnant woman and families of all kinds. As you can see it was a lovely day with information, music, a panel discussion and a book signing for YourBestBirth, the newly released book by Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein and of course we signed our book;-) We also raffled off a book which was won by Patricia from Burbank. Yay!

Melissa and Gea wish the pregnant family the best of everything on the pending adventure as they purchage a copy of The First 8 Days.

The moms of the Moms Club of Laguna Niguel invited us to share our story and book on March 3rd 2009. Melissa and Gea did their very first performance as author and editor and welcomed a lot of questions. We found an enthousiastic crowd and even got a first hand recommendation of a friend who already used the manual and raved about it. The dad liked it too. Books where signed and taken home for themselves and friends as a babyshower gift. It was a lovely morning.
