THERE IS GRIEF IN LIFE
Dealing with life, we also have to deal with death. Grief is the one common shared experience we will all have in this lifetime. It relates to each and every one of us. In motherhood and beyond. So why not start talking about it?
MAGICAL VBAC
The moment I pulled her into this world was the most magical, empowering, amazing moment I have ever had in my lifetime. It was incredible.
MY C-SECTION STOLE MY IDENTITY
I wanted an all-natural, uncomplicated birth. Little did I know that the first lesson in parenthood would come BEFORE I gave birth
SCHOOL FOR VAGINAS
In France, they call it “ la rééducation périnéale”, - perineal re-education. And boy, did they get it right..I think every woman should have pelvic floor therapy after birth.
MY BREAST WASN’T BEST
I don’t recall the exact pounds and ounces although they were shocking. I read “shameful; inadequate; failure.” I was horrified, embarrassed and broken.
WHY I THINK NEWBORNS SUCK.
I didn’t love my baby at first sight. I mean I guess I loved him like you love a cute little fluffy kitty cat you saw at the pet store, but not deep, all-consuming love…
PLAY MAMA? NO THANKS.
I don’t like playing with my kids. That may sound harsh, or maybe even like I’m not a good mother. But I am a good mother. I just don’t have fun playing Legos or blocks or dress up with my kids.
WELCOME.
As I welcome a new year, welcome a new path, welcome myself into this new season of life…I feel different. Not new. Actually, more like my old self. Only better. And more whole.
WHAT’S IN A LOGO?
When I found the logo, I couldn’t believe it. It felt like one more hug from him, one more piece of our friendship that I will take with me and have forever.
