The Delightful Child - Cute Baby Gift Ideas
















About Us


The Delightful Child started in 2003 when two longtime friends and fellow stay at home moms, Laura King and Jill Manty, decided to see if they could turn their love for baby things into a profitable business. Since then we've been feeling our way and trying to decide what kind of business we really wanted to be. We still carry our original baby gift baskets, but, eventually we decided that we wanted to promote something else we're both interested in-- information and natural living. So, here at Delightful Child, we are now pleased to provide information on baby showers, breastfeeding, parenting, and several other child-related topics. We are also pleased to carry a line of reasonably priced organic baby products. Soon, we will be introducing a line of baby, mother, and grandmother bracelets-- all lovingly handcrafted by another stay at home mom. Keep checking back for updates to our information pages, as well, as we are constantly adding to them.



We really hope that we can provide you with useful information and that you find something you like here on our site. If there's a product that you would like to see here or information that you would like to read, please drop us a note at sales@delightfulchild.com. Also, if you've bought products from us in the past, we'd love to hear feedback from you about how they are working out for you.



Laura King

My name is Laura and I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of three handsome young boys and wife to an IT geek. Prior to having children I worked full time as a veterinarian; after the birth of my oldest son I felt a calling to work with other expectant moms. I am certified with the Childbirth and Postpartum Professionals Association as both a labor doula and a childbirth educator, and am an accredited La Leche League leader. Also, I help coordinate a local homebirth organization. I love being able to help other women have healthy, happy pregnancies and joyous birth experiences. You can read more about my birth philosophy on my website at http://www.ajoyfulbirth.com.



In addition to birth and babies, I also enjoy sewing, scrapbooking, and reading. I don't watch much television but I am an Alias junkie. My family and I have a strong interest in natural living; we try to eat whole foods (maybe one day I'll actually get the hang of baking my own bread!), buy organic, and use environmentally friendly products when possible. I also use cloth diapers for my little ones and enjoy using herbal and homeopathic remedies to help them with any minor illnesses.



Jill Manty

My name is Jill Manty, and I am the mother of four-- soon to be five-- precious children, ranging in age from 11 to newborn. I homeschool all of my children and enjoy seeing them grow and learn. I'm somewhat of an internet junkie, and I really enjoy the freedom of knowledge that it provides. My interest in natural living goes back quite a way. I've been a vegetarian off and on since college, and now I'm raising most of my children as vegetarians. My husband is also a vegetarian. I am currently taking a course in aromatherapy to pursue the healing powers of essential oils.



I love throwing parties, especially wedding and baby showers, and much of the information on baby showers on this page is written by me. I think that having the opportunity to help friends welcome a new life into their families is an honor and, really, just a whole lot of fun. My favorite kind of showers involve good food, lots of laughter, and a ton of love and friendship. In my spare time I run a wiki loaded with Homeschooling Information and Resources and I blog for several blogs including my personal blog, On Our TV, Summer Olympics News, My Vegetarian Recipe of the Day, and Natural Family News.



Lastly, my husband George Manty handles most of the website promotion for our website.
