DH was out of town Tues-Thursday afternoon. I went to Pajama Book Club Thursday Night (nothing better than chocolate, deep discussion and comfy clothes). I tried to get into bed at a reasonable hour. It was closer to midnight. The phone rang at 3:43. I was home by 9:43 later that morning. I knew that […]

I should never buy pants/skirts without pockets. I prefer having my phone in my pocket at all times. I worry I won’t hear it if it is in my purse. It makes me go to bed earlier… or at least makes me think I should go to bed earlier! A 2 AM call for

The last birth I attended was in September. It was a lovely birth and I knew it was going to be my last one for awhile. It was going to be a busy/crazy school year I didn’t think I could add the uncertainty of being on call on top of all the boys activiites and

I have some great friends. I love to hear what they think it is I do. Many have actually taken my Hypnobabies class. I would say in at least 80% of my classes I have had a friend or aquaintance as a student. But many of my friends don’t really get what I do. My
Blessed to have good friends- interesting what they think I do! Read More »
I am feeling pretty introverted during this conference, kind of keeping to myself. But I am having lots of fun and learning a lot of great things. I love the way CAPPA has set up this conference. I don’t know if they do all of them like this. The conference is free for the main

I had this on my calendar since I knew it was going to be in Southern California. What is CAPPA? A great organization for Childbirth Educators, Doulas, Lactation Educators and more. I went to their Lactation Education Training and loved it. I am certified as a doula through DONA, but if I was to do

I am kind of nervous too. Last summer with all the buzz about BlogHer, I set a goal to go in 2011. When I found out it was going to be in San Diego, just a skip, jump and a hop away, I bought a ticket. But I don’t know anyone else who is going.

I have always wanted to make a Family Mission Statement and indeed a few years ago we tried to. But we could never remember it. Then I learned from the Eyers that they started with a long mission statement, then a short one and finally made it into 3 words so everyone could remember it.

I am so busy birth blogging that I sometimes find it hard to do other things I am supposed to do. (Feeding my boys healthy dinners, exercising.) It has been a few months since I was asked to contribute some sections to a Spirituality and Birth Book. I am loving being a part of this

I don’t carry a purse. I carry a wallet with a pocket for my iPhone and a strap. When I need something bigger I carry my Hypnobabies Bag, big blue bag with a Hypnobabies logo which I have decorated more with fun birth buttons on it. I put my wallet in there and whatever else

There are times when being on call (the only part I don’t like about being a doula) gets tiresome. Never being able to commit to things. Needing to be free to leave at any given moment for a birth. But as soon as I am at a birth, I remember why. It is such a
I am a big believer in the power of setting goals – I just reviewed my Birth goals from 2010 to see which ones I met. Some of my discoveries were a little freaky! 2010 Birth Goals Completed – Write E-Book by March – yes and over 2000 people have downloaded it. 🙂 Update both

Wednesday night the 29th I got a call and soon after headed out for my last birth of 2010. My 10th birth I attended as a doula this year. This didn’t surprise me and it also made me laugh! Why? GOALS! I am a BIG believer in setting goals. When I was in college one

I had quite a lot of fun things scheduled for the holidays starting Christmas Eve. Part of those plans had me about 2 hours away from home. Each time I left I let my moms know that it would take me 2 hours to get to them. Luckily no one needed me. Tuesday was our
