Pregnant women are smug

i had a pretty good laugh at this: SONG

MIA

I LOVE MIA just for this..she sang at the Grammy's on her due date..in this! This is braver than naked...

i fell off the Gluten-free wagon...into the Gluttonous ditch

I have been gluten-free for about 10 months, as well as dairy and egg free as well...and i stopped drinking coffee about 10 days ago...and sugar is now on the choppping block...so what in the blazes must i eat when i am feeling emotionally indulgent? A girl can only eat so many apples....so today i bought these dark chocolate almond cookies, that happen to contain milk, eggs, and wheat. I can already feel the heartburn....so for anyone with dietary restrictions that must indulge(and doesn't want to feel sick)...click on the link to heaven...you don't even have to speak in tongues:)
And word is on the dairy-free street that they are coming out with coconut milk coffee/tea creamers...

oh how i love TOAST

A few years ago i came across TOAST, a stunningly beautiful yet simple clothing catalogue. I have gotten it in the mail every season since and right now i am loving the new scarves. Note: Toast is a store in England, but they will ship to Canada/US...

book review: Labor of love by Cara Muhlhahn

I was so excited to order this book! For my Childbirth Educator course i have many books on my booklist...but when ordering on Amazon i decided to treat myself to a couple of books written by midwives, about BEING midwives. I've wanted for a quite a long time to be a midwife someday, and even though this book made me want to be one even more, it also made me take a step back and wait...for a bit. The way of life for a midwife is anything but boring, but it comes with HUGE sacrifices. Cara Muhlhahn is honest, sincere in her passion for birth, and is an excellent clinician to boot. She shares some of the hurdles she's had to face as well as her journey to where she is now. This book does not make midwifing seem like the romantic notion so many of us have in our heads...it shares the realities, challenges, and joys of one of the most demanding pursuits i can imagine. Read the book!
