In extension on a fellow mom friends blog Hands Off, I thought i’d too address an important issue that really, no one is talking about, the issue of strangers touching kids.

I feel like it was just Summer and I blinked. The weather changed and the leaves are starting to fall to the ground. Not to mention 100 sleeps till xmas! Say what! Before it starts to snow and jingle bells chime, I complied some of my favorite autumn inspired goodies.

Starting solids-round II

Food is everything in this household. Well, maybe this is just true for me, but we recently started London on solids and…she loves it!

I do however feel that I read so so so many birth stories that went exactly as planned. Even though they are still completely wonderful and beautiful, I feel like it is important to have ones like this out there so us moms do not feel alone. Still extremely wonderful and beautiful, but also very scary and not expected.
