T-shirt sayings...need ideas!

I'm trying to think of some sayings to put on t-shirts for myself. I thought of one while I was falling asleep last night, and of course didn't write it down, so I have no idea what it was except that it was good

Give me some ideas please! I'm doing postpartum stuff, so I don't think birth ones would apply, if you know what I mean.

What are the shirts for? For you to wear at a clients house? Or as for advertisement to attract people to ask... what is a doula?

Hmmm, good question. These would be more for advertising and getting people to ask what a doula is. I'm just doing simple shirts with a small logo to wear when I'm teaching a class or visiting a client.

I was thinking along the lines of an eye catching saying on the front, then my website and phone number on the back.

I think I am going to get a brown zip hoodie, and on the back in pink lettering get printed Doulas....making birth better.

Then maybe on the sleeve I will get
Childbirth educator and Birth Support listed, and anything else I can think of birth related.
Then maybe on the front left side I will go with the Doulas..making birth better again, only small.

Just have to get it ordered. But I think it would be cool, because I live in hoodies, so would wear it everywhere.

I live in hoodies, too...my son just spilled hot pink nail polish WHILE in Wal-Mart on a brand new sage green maternity hoodie that I'd only had a couple weeks!

I am looking for a good price on a hoodie (that'll fit me!) to put my logo on with one of the things I've already got printed up. On the shirts I sell, I have "TRUST BIRTH" on the right sleeve on all the long sleeved shirst....those are a big hit...I love stuff on the sleeve!

That one that says, "doulas help people out," was actually one I was going to print, but then I thought it might be better for a midwife b/c I'm tired of people assuming that I catch babies!

Postpartum is tricky.....do you have any ideas so far? Lemme brainstorm for you. I haven't started doing pp work yet, so i only have BD shirts done and should have my breastfeeding transfers ready at the shirt place for shirts and onesies by the end of the week (I'm so excited!!!!!).

I just used on at a Baby Expo we were just at last weekend.
How about something along the lines of:
Postpartum doula's
Transitioning families one baby at a time
(or sometimes two, or three)

Too many words???
I will think some more.
Debbie

These are the ones I have so far: (I'm only doing 3 shirts right now, I want to see how they come out before doing more)

Lily Doula Services - Helping Families Grow

Postpartum Doula - Don't come home without one!

The last one is just going to say DOULA on the front, with info on the back.

What do you all think?

I love the first one.... Helping families grow
And the boldly stated.... Dont come home with out one.

What information would you put on the back? Just what we do? There are no real statistics to speak of like a labor doula does.
