Independence is the topic for this month’s theme day here at the Health and Wellness Channel. When I first heard the topic, it struck a chord with me. I felt a little rant welling up on this subject. You see, I get the distinct impression that some people associate breastfeeding with a dependence on the […]
When my channel editor asked everyone in the Health and Wellness channel to compile the five best posts from each blog, I had to stop and think for a while. What makes a “best” post? I don’t think it’s necessarily the most popular post or the most commented on post. I think it’s the post […]
This morning my three-year-old lavished my pregnant belly with kisses for her little sister. I can see her mind working through the fact that there will be a new baby in our lives sometime soon.
