Please note: GypsyMama is on family vacation this week! Orders placed between Aug. 22 through Aug. 29 will be shipped beginning on Monday, Aug. 30, and will receive free US shipping. If you need your wrap sooner, please order through our retailers.
I started Gypsy Mama in May of 2004 after I received a gift of gauze wraps. I liked them so much that with the help The Mamatoto Project (who had gifted me the wraps), I began selling them. What began as a tiny company is now a small company, continuing to grow with the support of people like you. We not only added several products since opening our store, but added several retailers as well.
I'm Kristi, a single mother to Morgaine, Orion, and Isaac. This business was born out of a desire to promote attachment parenting in all its aspects. Babywearing is the keystone of my own parenting; it has helped me evolve into the mother I've become, and I want to help other families find the joy babywearing can bring to their lives! In fact, I so enjoy carrying my children that I have never owned a stroller.
Gypsy Mama was made possible partly through a small business loan from The Mamatoto Project, an organization that helps families by giving away free carriers to the needy as well as through small-business loans to help fund businesses like this one. Please consider making a donation to The Mamatoto Project so they can help even more families!
Working at home gives me the flexibility to practice full-time attachment parenting while supporting my children financially. In this way, I am able to homeschool my children, practice extended breastfeeding and gentle discipline, and be present in their daily lives. I feel fortunate to have the support of my family and also my customers - without that support I couldn't do what I'm doing. So, thank you!
