Once again, the media feels to need to create a breeding ground for ignorance by asking questions like “should there be any restrictions on breastfeeding in public?” The answer to [...]

When I was pregnant with Emma, I started having regular contractions much earlier than I should have. I was worried I might be in early labour and went into the Labour and Delivery clinic at hospital where my prenatal care provider was and where I was due to have my baby. As I sat waiting [...]

When helping my children to make choices, I find myself motivated by several things. Things that often tug my reasoning in wildly different directions. Things that may make me say one thing, when I wish I’d said another. Things that make me mad at society for being so petty, so cruel, so stupid. I want [...]
