I think we are all hip to the fact that the government uses double-speak and policies usually do the opposite of what they say they will.

The push to “protect” youth from social media is not its true intention.

I will happily bow out of this space and take life offline should that actually come into effect.

If you haven’t read Jaron Lanier’s books “Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media” and “Who Owns the Future” check them out. It’s old. And on point.

I love the organic ebb and flow of birth work. The last bit has been unexpectedly busy.

And now, there should be a slowdown ahead, though last-minute things tend to come up.

I’m grateful for a supportive husband and helpful children to hold down the fort while I get called away. And thankful to the families who invite me along on their sacred journeys. 💖

Tried dry-brining a whole chicken for the first time and it won’t be the last!

Super moist and tasty.

Highly recommend.

I’ll link the recipe in my stories and highlights under “recipes”.

Bon appétit! 👩‍🍳🍗

Fluffy homemade hamburger buns.

These come together quickly and easily.

10/10 recommend. Kid and husband approved.

We usually use an organic flour that is not technically white so it doesn’t have synthetic vitamins added to it, but it does produce a denser bread.

To win over the family I busted out the organic white flour and it did the trick— fluffy delicious buns.

I’ll place a link in my stories.

If you know you know 🤣

A hot water tank can only do so much for you.

During most water births, someone’s on stove/kettle/instant pot duty and it’s usually me.

If you have a vessel that will heat water I will find it and use it. 🔥

I can’t guarantee outcomes.

I can guarantee you’ll be supported as much as is humanly possible while you walk your path.

I had a few weeks to go still before going on call at 36weeks when I got home from Algonquin to hear the news that this baby was arriving imminently.

When you can maintain your autonomy throughout the challenges, that counts for a lot.

So we pivoted. We did the best we could with the information we had in the moment.

That’s all we can ever do. 💖

Another golden nugget.

I think the one about Anti-D (RhoGAM) with Sara Wickham was my fave. They are all good, but particularly interesting ones were: the f%k1ing epidural; practicing overtly or covertly in the system; OP labours; Labour pauses … and so many more if you can get past the cackling 😜

Clickable link will be in my stories and Podcast highlight.

Enjoy. 🥰
