February 9, 2019 by Anne Marie 22 Comments

It seems like something around here always needs a name. A new kitten, a new stuffed animal, a new baby...... or maybe it's work-related (a business, product, club or non-profit). People often ask me for help in choosing a name for these types of things. In fact, out of all of my blog posts, the one with the most hits by far has been my entry from 2009 entitled How to Name Your Farm or Ranch. Apparently, it really struck a chord. Anyway, just for a little bit of fun today, I want to Continue Reading

May the God who was born into poverty, swaddled in rags and adored by humbled shepherds, find a warm welcome in your heart this Christmas, and all the year through. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."  Luke 2:11-12 Continue Reading

5 Things I Loved About my Home Birth

December 13, 2018 by Anne Marie Leave a Comment

I've done birth all sorts of ways, including c-section (once), epidural (twice), birth center (six times) and now home birth (twice). Here's what I love most about the experience! You're at Home When it comes to an intense and tiring experience like labor, I concur with Jane Austen: "Ah! There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort."

A Headache, a Home Birth and Hypertension

November 26, 2018 by Anne Marie 23 Comments

For nine months you prepare, always looking ahead and anticipating the big delivery day, when you get to finally hold your child and look into her face. And after the monumental work of pregnancy and labor, you might assume that the physical challenges are mostly behind you. But the postpartum period can be rough. I've had a really eventful week to say the least, but let me say first that the best thing that happened all week was the arrival of our baby girl, one day late. On November 19th Continue Reading
