It's been a realllly long time since I updated. My website has been undergoing some changes. Sadly, kaitmoon.com is not currently active, but my portal for all things Kait Moon/Lunarmama related is shaping up over at The LunaseaIt's pretty sparse right now but it will take you to the places I'm active online. I'm hoping to mirror this blog there at some point soon so it'll all be tidy and easy to access.

The book has taken up over a year of my life and all of my free time, which as you can imagine is limited when raising four kids and unschooling. It is printed and is out now! You can buy it on Etsy. 

It's a limited edition and there are only about 100 copies left so get yours now! I also have a very limited number of my tea kits and some really cool tote bags that were made for the Indiegogo campaign (I ordered extra at my own expense) that can be purchased. All proceeds go towards updating the book and reprinting.

Here is some more of the feedback I've received on the book:


"I think this book is a wonderful resource. It is brief but packed with key information, including much of what I discuss with new breastfeeders in the hospital all the time. Its warmth and empathy is a connection to the mother to mother support that we have lost over generations. I would recommend it to any breastfeeding mother or anyone who works with or supports breastfeeding mothers."

Hilary Gerber D.O. 
Chief Resident in Obstetrics and Gynecology


“This new resource is so exciting and wonderful for many reasons, especially because it is welcoming of baby-feeding trans dads like me. As a birthing/baby-feeding trans father, I am moved to see parents like me welcomed in this loving and informed breastfeeding resource.”

Simon Knaphus
Writer, Activist Lawyer and Rad Dad contributor


Also with regard to my Indiegogo ambitions, I've had to put the continuing education on hold as my health has been suffering over the course of publishing the book. I was in hospital last year, underwent a CAT scan and lots of jabbing with needles on multiple occasions, and have seen several specialists. They still aren't sure what is up but I've had to put bigger projects like the herbal medicine for women course on hold as I've come to realize that with four young children and limited outside help that it's not something I could excel at at the moment.

I gave back $1,000 of my Indiegogo funds to my very generous anonymous last-minute donor. They asked me to keep the rest and I used that to offset the greater expenses associated with fulfilling the perks. I have a small budget left to promote the book and any left over funds will be kept in savings until I can print a second run.

All proceeds from the books sold on my Etsy site will be rolled back into printing more copies. There is a substantial demand that seems to only be increasing and I've had people from several US states and Canada purchasing multiple copies. I'm excited about making this book more widely available and look forward to your continued support. Please share my link with friends so they too can obtain their copy and follow me on facebook here for updates on art, words and other projects and here for all things Kait Moon.


I am also planning a series of blogs on parenting, social justice, ways to keep sane with kids and how to support the parents in your life, in the coming weeks and hope you'll stay with me as this space evolves.

Forever in Gratitude,
Kait Moon - The imperfect Wife
