The Business of Being Born


A friend who read my last blog post (see below) wrote to me that she had seen a documentary (produced I believe by Rikki Lake, who is a huge midwife/home birth advocater) and recommended it to me. It's called, The Business of Being Born.

I can't wait to see it, as documentaries are quickly becoming my favorite genre of film.
Watch the trailor HERE.

I had recently read in TIME magazine about giving birth at home is becoming a new grassroots trend, as women are electing to stay out of hospitals.

PS (totally off topic, SUPER excited about the new woman in the ring!)

Hey Sarah,

I found this post on Sarah Palin. I know that you like her, but I didn't know anything about her and thought the information in this letter was very interesting, considering that most people know very little about her voting history and don't have any idea about how she has performed in her position in Alaska. My sister is an editor for the LA Times and just got done with a piece on the ethics probe going on regarding Palin. Have you heard about that? Pretty odd.

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
