Empowering Twin Delivery Back story: Because I was carrying mono-di twins, the general recommendation is to delivery no later than 37 weeks. To put it gently, my doctor was very concerned with us waiting for spontaneous labor. By swelling and a slight rise in BP it was apparent that my body was getting tired; however, the babies and placenta looked great. I increased my rest, movement, nutrition and supplements and continued monitoring the babies often. Doing these things made us…

Megans Homebirth I was 19 when I had my first birth. I was young and uneducated about a lot of things involving life and health. My husband had just finished EMT schooling and was one to trust doctors and do as they advise without question.. I knew that wasn’t my belief but I wasn’t sure what was, so in an effort to minimize conflict between my husband I went along and laid down my desire and curiosity for looking into…

  Home Waterbirth of Kassius Slade De Giovanni Wolfe   My water broke at 9am Friday morning, I was having irregular contractions that frequently puttered out for hours at a time but it was obvious I was in early labor.

GAWD… must I really do the high pitch baby voice??!! We all do it. You know the voice. The voice that inevitably comes out of our mouth when we talk to a cute, chubby little baby!! Its like something takes over our vocal cords and we just can not help ourselves. During my “breaking free” from traditional parenting and focusing more on connection; I discovered that if I raised my voice an octave higher, my kids would respond worlds better!…

Its been a very long winter. The sun has graced us a little more lately… yesterday was such a day! Must Be Apart of it!! Plans were quickly made for a play date in the afternoon at the park. My kitchen was in much need of some love, but that sun… that glorious sun! Screw the chores! Dressed the twins and headed outside. Sitting in the slightly damp grass, my babies surveyed the land. They quickly spotted the biggest, muddiest…

Dear spectator … a letter to non-unschoolers

Dear you, I understand our lives look different. I know our way of schooling and learning are not conventional nor does our life follow the norms of society. We know you care and wish to see our growing family thrive. Please know that we recognise and genuinely appreciate your concern! But I also want to let you know that I have not journeyed this decision by easy roads. I have not chosen a life of going against social norms just…

Cry it out…things every mom should know before doing it

Cry it out…things every mom should know before doing it

“It was a simple needs-met symbiosis that required a total suspension of ideas of “what should be happening” and an embracing of what was actually going on in that moment.” ∼Claire Niala *This is a copy. I found that people did not like the title or picture of my post on “What cry it out is actually doing to your baby”. This article is NOT only about cry it out but it explores the needs of babies and what happens when…

Be Original-Don’t Die a Copy

Time to wake up! I posted this Meme to my Facebook page not to long ago. After doing so, I was struck even more so of how true I felt this was…. at least for me and in my life. I like to say that I had a dream that was critical to awakening me to the deadly reality of my life. A little back story  I was in an abusive marriage and had totally lost myself in my “Christian…
