Get your tissue. Seriously. Brooke with Peace Love Babies sent me a few pictures and tear jerker video of this gorgeous mama’s birth. She had a VBAC after a previous cesarean birth with a T-incision. It is rare to find support to VBAC after one, but she did. Brooke says, “I wanted to share a birth film I made recently…

Having Fun with Kids, Strawberries and Chocolate for Breakfast
I am online again! I didn’t mind being offline a few days as we moved. I enjoy being ‘unplugged‘. It’s great to be able to blog again though! What better to start the week than with food? {Don’t worry, I’ll get back to birth soon.} This morning instead of cereal or waffles or eggs and bacon, this is what we…

Like Mother, Like Daughter
I distinctly remembering my oldest child at four years old (now 9) coming up to me with her doll saying, “I’m nursing my baby mommy. She loves my breast milk. It’s chocolate milk.” Ha. Adorable. I just had my 3rd child and she was the first baby I successfully breastfed. She was learning by my example. Here are some mamas…

Lose the Post Partum Pounds Dancing to Kid DVD’s…
Not kidding. So, I’ve had a lot more free time the last week being off Facebook. It’s been rad. Really. My days are low stress with extra time to focus on things I like to do (read, play with kids, make yummy food, blog) and even for things I don’t like so much (cleaning anyone?!). One of the things I’ve…

Papa and Grandaughter; A Birth Photographer’s Reflecting Thoughts
These beautiful images and words were sent in by Carissa with Carissa Pierce Photography. “Having lost my dad before I was married and had children this birth picture I took yesterday is super special. Papa and grand-daughter. Evokes so much emotion….look at the eye contact, the flowing beard, the obvious size difference. This picture alone would be worth millions to…
