Placenta encapsulation can be a wonderful option for many moms. Consuming your placenta may help prevent or manage postpartum mood disorders, enhance milk supply, increase energy and speed the healing process after birth. But when is it not safe to encapsulate?

The Emotional Price Of Parenthood

The Emotional Price Of Parenthood

When I got married to my sweet husband we had a plan! I was on birth control and we were thrilled to start our married life together. I was starting a new job, and at the time we had a long term plan to wait two or three years to have children. We were thrilled about the prospect of having a growing family within the next few years but the idea of relishing in newlywed bliss was something we were very much looking forward to.

No one tells you that birth control can sometimes fail. And sometimes user error is the reason for that failure. And sometimes the user doesn't even realize that they are the reason for the failure. 

I was the user that failed to use the birth control correctly and therefore, one day, I realized that something wasn't right. My breakfast smelled terrible and it was making me gag. That had never happened before. (click here to read more!)

Spotlight: We Rock The Spectrum-KC

As a former elementary school teacher, who studied special education, I've always held play therapy in high regard. When I heard about We Rock The Spectrum, I knew it was a place that I wanted to support. 

I had the chance to attend WRTS-KC with my children in tow and was mesmerized at the play space that was set up. I felt so grateful that my children now had a place to play with every type of child and that judgement, ridicule and isolation, would be left at the door. My toddler and preschooler had an absolute blast! They ran, jumped, tumbled, swung and climbed. 

I was able to talk to the Owner Cassidi Jobe about what brought her and this ingenious business to the northland.

The Perfect Epidural Birth and Why I Want It,

The Perfect Epidural Birth and Why I Want It,

I delivered my first child almost five years ago. I remember the excitement building as the days came closer to when we would meet him. As first time parents, we didn't really "know" what to expect. Everything we knew about birth and delivery came from our birth classes, first hand accounts of fellow friends, family members and what we had seen in the movies. It turns out, theres a lot of biased information out there when only reverting to these few resources!
