Watch

I just had to share this amazing water birth. I’ve had tears streaming down my face the entire time - it just brought back so much emotion.

ACCEPTANCE FORGIVENESS GRATITUDE: Potty Training... →

Regarding Childhood Vaccinations... it ain't easy.

I received a great question via email today - and I’ve debated discussing this subject on my blog because it is a very HOT topic among parents. After some thought and considering I’ve been asked this several times, I’ve decided to post about our vaccination decisions for Everly. “What are your thoughts regarding Everly and vaccines? When you and I were children we had,...

– Dear Baby Blog, May 11, 2009. Such truth. Even then I knew. And she does - She smells like honey and freshly washed clothes and how I imagine it must smell in heaven. Love, M
