Childbirth is often treated as a medical condition instead of the natural beautiful thing that it is. Growing a child and giving birth is the most amazing miracle on earth. Births happen in many different settings and in many different ways. Whether you have your baby in a hospital with an epidural or c-section or a birth center or at home, Defining Moments wants you to feel beautiful and empowered.

I started Milk Threads Maternity when my oldest daughter was pregnant with my first grandson in 2011. I live in the boondocks of North Carolina so selling my items online was the best route for me. The business has blossomed into much more than I ever anticipated, and so in early 2016 I felt the need to change the name to something that encompassed all of the products that I make. My daughters and I brainstormed for weeks and finally came up with the name Defining Moments, because all of my gowns are for special times in life that define you. "Moments that mark your life, moments when you realize that nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts, before this and after this."
