If you’re planning a natural birth or you’ve had a natural birth with your baby I’m sure that you’ve heard a lot of comments. I know I’ve heard my fair share and I really get tired of all of them. One that really starts to get to me is “you’re so brave!” [...]

We are back in town. The three big kids are spending the next two weeks visiting their dad. They were excited about it and I hope they enjoy themselves. I am missing them already and keep thinking they’re outside playing when they’re not.

I spent some time last week talking about the “whys” of goals. Why pregnancy is a great time to set goals, and why they’re important throughout motherhood. In reality, goals are and will be important throughout your life. You may say that you don’t need goals or even that you don’t like [...]
Nitty Gritty Practical - Setting a Schedule
June 3, 2008 – 11:53 am
I wrote a couple of articles last week that deal with setting goals - and why pregnancy is an especially good time to set out some goals. Of course, I think it’s important to have goals throughout all of your mothering career. And what I’m going to talk about today is especially important [...]
