Saturday Surfing

Saturday Surfing is a new feature on Au Coeur which highlights websites/blog posts/etc. that I have found over the previous week, enjoyed, and want to share with others.  There will be a variety of links in these posts – everything from current events, breastfeeding and natural parenting information, to crafts and sewing.  I hope you all enjoy this feature!

  • Could the ‘cuddle hormone’ make you (think you) love your mom? – LA Times article about research done to see how oxytocin (the hormone produced during birth) impacts men’s memories of their mothers.  Fascinating and disturbing all at once.
  • A Doula Story: On the Frontlines of Teen Pregnancy – Documentary about a Chicago Doula who works exclusively with inner-city, black, teen mothers.  I had see this about a year ago and was just reminded about it this week.
  • Medal of Honor for Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta – YouTube video on the White House’ YouTube channel of the award ceremony.  This brings tears to my eyes.  I went to high school with Sal, and am amazed at what he did for his fellow soldiers and our country.  No matter how I feel about the war, I have incredible respect for our soldiers.
  • Move Over, Milk Banks: Facebook and Milk Sharing – Time Magazine article about women using Facebook to connect with one another to share breastmilk.  Social media for the win!

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️
