So I love getting Christmas Cards. It is sort of anti-climactic when it is just a card with a signature, no information about what the family has done this year. No picture. I feel like I am missing out a bit when I get cards like that. Then we have friends who live far away […]

In January a woman died shortly after childbirth. It was a tragic loss. From that came a wonderful outpouring of support AND milk. Friends and community members volunteered to breastfeed baby Moses. One mom still comes every morning at 9 AM with her baby in tow and nurses Moses. Some moms have more confusing schedules

Alison and I have a fun history. I read Alison’s HypnoBirthing birth story online somewhere and saw she is an author. She actually lived in my town and was happy to come to book clubs to talk. As I belong to 3 book clubs (crazy I know) I decided to read her books and invite

One of my biggest “hits” on my blog is for PUPPS. Which is a pregnancy rash. I had it with Bryson and it wasn’t fun. Here is another not fun skin condition – molluscum When Bryson was 2 he developed Molluscum Contagiosum which is a rash that doctors typically say just needs to run its
I just found out they called police on a Breastfeeding Mom. Ohhhh, that makes me mad! A mom has every right to feed her baby, WHEREVER she is! I have nursed in many public places. Here is just a few: Disneyland, while waiting for Dumbo (and numerous other rides). At a
I typically do like to finish the bulk of my shopping before Thanksgiving. But usually I still have the boys and Rob to shop for. Well, thanks to some great friends, I 95% finished shopping for everyone by Monday. Then yesterday another great friend watched B. while I wrapped everything I have bought. I didn’t

I am working on my first Breastfeeding Class that I will be teaching in a few weeks. It made me want to find my favorite Breastfeeding Pictures of Bryson and I. (Carson and Devon’s aren’t digital and would require too much work to share! Maybe one day.)

I had a preemie. It was life changing. It was scary. It was not the ideal start for my sons life. I had been on bedrest for Preterm Labor from 25 weeks. I figure I bought him 9 extra weeks, with the sacrifice of staying in bed, taking different pills and praying. Devon was born

My boys (age 11 and 9) love to watch reruns of Get Smart. Well, last night they saw the show where agent 99 had twins. Thing 2 (my 9 year old) said, “I am pretty sure they were born vaginally. The only bummer is that she doesn’t breastfeed them, they get formula.” I love that

This is something that no one talks about, it is as if it doesn’t exist, until you get it. Then it is HUGE to you, but still isn’t imporant to anyone else. Here is my experience with PUPPS, along with great links and what I felt helped. The Yahoo Group is great for support too.

I had heard of the Nestle boycott a few years ago. I learned more about it at the CAPPA Lactation Education Training this weekend. It made me want to learn more and join in the boycott. So you can imagine my joy when in my Google Reader there were some blog posts about a week

So I grossed out my book club by bringing up the fact that some moms choose to eat their placenta after birth. I personally don’t think I could do that. But, next time*** I think I will have the placenta dried and made into pills. I could swallow that! Afterbirth for Dinner? I am totally

I found an interesting e-book about Social Leadership at The Social Leader. I went to a Thomas Jefferson Education conference last weekend, because I have been homeschooling Carson for a few months and may pull Devon out next year. Anyway, they were talking about Social Leadership and how we need more leaders in our country.
On a birth blog I love. Stand and Deliver. BTW, I am going to be doing a give away on the Hypnobabies Blog soon. Keep an eye out for that!
