Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to Hubster!

So yesterday was the Ben's birthday! The BIG 2-9! He's one year closer to Ole Man status!

I met the Ben when he was freshly 21...


This was our first summer together. Up North at his family's cabin. Summer of 2006

and... now's he the BIG 2-9!


For his birthday, I'm making him these wonderful cookies! 


Find the recipe HERE!

On a somber note, today we said goodbye to a dear Stallion, the daddy to both of my Geldings, Barons Flame Redeem and Gotta Be A King... 

He was 29 years young. Lots of fond memories with this Ole Man


I was 2 years old when this was taken. This is me and my grandpa on Bear. I'll miss this fella! 

Until next time, friends

Postpartum Herbal Baths

  To buy Postpartum Herbal Bath Blends: You can purchase my handcrafted blend  HERE! Hey sister! I'm so excited to be talking about Postpartum Herbal Baths on the blog! My Postpartum Herbal Baths are officially launched on my website and being offered! I make these in very small batches, so the quantities in stock are limited, but pre-ordering is always an option if I happen to be out of stock!  I really enjoyed the benefits of a Postpartum Herbal Bath after the birth of Badrick! About four days postpartum, my sweet hubby got my herbs steeping in a giant stock pot, ran me a beautiful bath, lit a candle and got both Badrick and I settled into our bath while checking on us periodically. The time we spent in that bath soaking are some of my fondest postpartum moments.  Badrick blissfully laid in my arms nursing and napping. I laid there blissfully reminiscing on our wonderful home water birth and the four days that had already passed since we welcomed this new little so...

Who Told My Baby She Could Grow Up?!

Image
I'm serious. Who told her? Because I want to speak with you! You should have come to me first because I am her mother! I did not give you permission to tell my baby that she could grow up! Miss Bailey turned 7 months today! I can hardly believe that 7 months have gone by so quickly! She was just my itty bitty last week, wasn't she? Let's reminisce. Because I love walks down Memory Lane.   That was 7 months ago... It seems like last week. Here's my little beauty today! Very happy after dinner last night! BLW FTW! On Monday she pulled herself up standing for the very first time! I finally caught it on camera today! Perfect for her 7 month birthday! And today marks 7 months of Exclusively Breastfeeding! I'm so grateful for being able to make it this far in our breastfeeding journey! Her newest favorite is Nurse-nastics! (think, gymnastics) Happy Wednesday, y'all! Make it awesome! Until nex...

Book Review: Ancient Map for Modern Birth by Pam England

Image
  Ancient Map for Modern Birth By Pam England “When your childbearing year becomes a heart journey, you will not just be birthing your child; all along the way you will be birthing a new self.” While you may not be handed a physical map, the journey through preconception, conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum is a journey in itself, that without a “map” can be very tedious to journey through. Instead of wading through murky waters and trudging through the thick, uncharted forests of your own personal journey, equip yourself with a map of knowledge that will clear your paths and give you guidance. As a maiden, you will be beginning the separation of maiden into mother. An old version of you must die away to birth the new version of you. And, you will do this again and again for each and every baby that you so choose to bring forth.  “You can study another’s map or show someone yours, but remember: no two landscapes of labor are the same.” As I read through chapter two and...
