It doesn’t make sense not to learn about. If you’ve been holding back from learning about routine infant circumcision (RIC), I encourage to ask yourself why and remind you that there is absolutely no shame in education. Continue reading
I’ve gone quiet again, both here and within myself, instead of keeping in touch like I’ve meant to. There are a lot of changes happening for me in the background and I’m still not quite sure how to process it all… I keep forgetting somehow that writing is a process for me and that I … Continue reading
I’m always keeping an eye out for holistic, natural remedies. Baltic Amber is another amazing, natural remedy I’ve recently discovered (through the help of my awesometastical Facebook network of Progrents after seeking teething remedies for my son) that has a rich history of being used by many different cultures over time.

I’ve looked at the clock at 11:04 since high school. AM, PM- it doesn’t matter which. So, when the midwife told me that my due date with my second son was November 8th… well, you can guess my response. 11:04 = 11/04 = AHA! I told her my notion about the fourth and she proceeded, … Continue reading

I’ve had a really, really difficult time staying happy since Father’s Day. It was only my second one without my dad; I knew it would be hard. Trying to prepare myself for the emotional tsunami of (t)sadness was like trying to remember how much labor hurts. There’s a vague impression left, but nothing that even touches … Continue reading
Breastfeeding and Father’s Day: The two may not be linked for most people, but for me, they are two equal and opposite parts that equal the same whole.I started writing this post even before bringing getting banned from Facebook for posting a breastfeeding photo over Memorial Day weekend, which gave me even more time, opportunity and drive to examine … Continue reading
