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.
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
Baby Names Cafe.
My husband George Manty handles most of the
website promotion
for our website.
