We had our home visit tonight. It was very different from our first two–much less formal and not so urgent feeling. The midwife asked what our vision was and I pretty much said, “Well, and then I’ll just have the baby.” We all laughed because isn’t that the truth of it all. You can plan [...]

Motherhood: The Ultimate Slice of Humble Pie. All that I thought I knew has slipped through my fingers these past five and half years. My mother used to say (like I’ve heard many parents say), “You just wait until you have kids of your own–then you’ll see.” I never understood what they meant, because obviously [...]

I have received an amazing amount of clarity in the past week. Letting go of my fears and expectations (and hang ups surrounding this birth) turned out to open an amazing new spectrum of experience.

I had the pleasure of learning (through experiential education of course) that simply putting my shoes on first thing in the morning radically alters my day in productive and feel good ways.

Interesting. Now let it go. I used to be an attachment parenting, naturally minded mama who homebirthed, used cloth diapers and swore my kid would never use a pacifier (or watch tv-ha!). Now maybe I still do all those things. (Maybe, maybe not?–doesn’t really matter.) But what I’ve learned on my journey into this wild [...]
