1. Really really cool rugs I want.
2. Period panties? Er, what? Am I the only one who’s never heard of these?
3. From a mother of angels: Please embrace your bump.
4. If you like to cook you have to get this No Recipe app.
5. It’s getting warmer so how about bringing some colour to your outdoor space?
Sorry about the lack of STUFF these past two weeks. I was thinking of scheduling a post last week when we were away but I decided to just take the day off! Ha!
1. I’m hoping to make it to this Get Fresh event on Saturday.
2. I don’t have the FB app on my phone but apparently everyone’s stoked about discovering another hidden message inbox on there so check it!
As I explained in this post, I am hoping to succeed in having a VBAC when its time for this baby to make his way into the world. There were a number of things I had on my list of things to do to prepare myself but honestly I felt none were as important as hiring a doula.
I knew I wanted one from the moment my doctor gave me the OK for a VBAC. So I scheduled an appointment with the clinic’s antenatal coordinator/doula who is none other than the lovely Claire Anne Mavris. We sat down for a chat or as I like to call it ‘a grilling session’. I wanted to know everything about her work at the ISIS Clinic but most importantly I wanted to know what she could do for me when the time comes.
I am totally head over heels in love with these handwoven baskets by Plum and Sparrow.
Aren’t they phenomenal? And the story behind these gorgeous baskets is even more amazing and worth loving. Apart from being a Fair Trade Federation small business, Plum and Sparrow‘s one-of-a-kind baskets are handmade in Africa. Ultimately, 10% of all baskets sold help support over 400 African weavers and their families providing them with school supplies, healthcare and the funding and building of community weaving centers.
I was unsure about sharing my birthing experience on the blog. I’ve always felt it was too personal. It’s been almost five years since I started Georgie’s Mummy and among all these words and pictures not once have I mentioned my birth story. While I won’t go into details -perhaps another time- I have decided to share one big part of my story. This is mainly due to the fact that I am on my way to having the kind of birth I never thought I could have. A natural birth.
