It’s spring, and along with blooms and blossoms come lots of baby showers. As the people in your life prepare to welcome a new little one, make sure you are helping them prepare with products that are Mom-tested. Everyone loves to purchase soft baby blankets or frilly dresses, but what mommas really need are gifts that make life easier. Here are the best baby shower gifts for soon-to-be moms.
Mother's Day Gift Guide 2014
This morning I stopped by WPSD Local 6 Today to help you find the perfect present for Mom this coming Mother's Day. From tech presents that make mom's life better to local finds around Paducah, I covered them all and have special offers on many of these fabulous finds for all of my readers!
You'll never believe that THIS is a crime.
Today is International Day of the Midwife. Began by the International Conference of Midwives, this year's theme is "Midwives changing the world one family at a time."
Obviously, I feel passionately about the cause of midwifery. My midwife is like a member of my family. She gave me the births I always wanted. She supported me. She encouraged me. She brought my two boys into the world safely, which is a gift I can never repay.
She also committed a crime.
How I'm Coping
I once heard a man interviewed on NPR. This man’s entire family had been killed in a raid on his village. He was telling the reporter that for many years he drank heavily in an attempt to cope with the trauma. Then he said, “I tried to drown my sorrows and then I realized they could swim.”
That quote has never left me. The image of ever-present sorrow was a powerful one to me. Sorrow and grief are something I became familiar with at a young age and the impact of that experience is something I’m still trying to understand.
