Adelaide’s Birth Story

Adelaide is 6 weeks old today.  I started writing this blog post two weeks ago, but today it's getting posted, no matter what. After both Nora's birth and Zara's birth, I had their stories written within a week, but this time around it's[...]

Building a Parenting Library — Recommended Reading

I mentioned awhile ago that I received a $500 grant to start our La Leche League library.  I had a lot of fun thinking about the books I would recommend to local moms and what was helpful to me the first or second time around.  Of cou[...]

Postpartum Care After a Home Birth

Now that Zara is most definitely not a newborn and I'm fairly certain that I have survived the postpartum period, I wanted to take a moment to finally write about my post home birth experience.  This will be my last post about our hom[...]

Managing Pain in Labor

One of the best things about having a photographer take pictures at Zara's birth is that through the photographs, I'm able to see parts of the birth that I was oblivious to at the time.  I'm able to see things that went on in other rooms a[...]

Zara’s (Peach’s) Birth Story

First a note:  This is a birth story.  While there are no direct pictures of nudity, there are, of course, some in which I am not clothed and all that is blocking nudity is a baby or camera angle.  In addition, this describes Zara's birth an[...]

Preparing a Sibling to Participate in a Birth

One of the biggest reasons we chose to have a home birth is because we wanted to make the transition into a family of four as easy as possible on Nora.  I didn't want to just disappear for two days to the hospital and then bring a baby ho[...]

More photos and Zara's birth story to come, but I cannot wait to share this photo of her getting weighed for the first time. Her little toes and tiny feet are just way too adorable.

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.

The best thing about having a king sized bed is having space for cuddle bugs.

Walking around the neighborhood with Z and I'm reliving my first experience with entrepreneurship: @girlscouts cookie sales. My mom was our troop leader (all the way through Juniors) and I remember our garage piled high with boxes and boxes of cookies. 

It's fun watching Z try her hand at sales. She is fearless and no problem describing every cookie to complete strangers. Despite having never done it before, she has an incredibly aggressive goal of selling 1500 boxes of cookies. If any kid can do it, though, I think she can.
