Hear Me Roar!: Well this week has certainly been interesting - Miley Cyrus (need I say more)? I hope not. If you had the great misfortune of seeing her raunchy performance at the MTV Music Awards , and I assume you have taken several showers by now, then I am sure you that have vowed to never speak of it again. If you missed the video that everyone is talking about, then consider yourself lucky for still being able to sleep at night.
Funny story: several years back I was at a store shopping for clothes. As I riffled through the rack I noticed a young girl of about six or seven gawking at me. I gave a polite smile and proceeded to the dressing room. As I went to shut the dressing room door I noticed the same little girl standing directly outside the door, still staring at me with stars in her eyes. The girl's mom quickly ran in after her and apologized to me, telling me that her daughter was sure that I was Hannah Montana! We both got a good laugh out of that one. Okay, being mistaken for a teenage girl wearing a wig; I guess I can handle that, but please don't ever tell me I get mistaken for this:

Reflection of the Week: Tradition
Labor day allows for that last long weekend to spend as a family and to say goodbye to another summer. The celebration of Labor day with a parade and public festival was originally outlined in the proposal for the holiday. Today however, most laborers prefer to celebrate their day off peacefully with close family and friends, rather than attending parades and festivals.
This got me thinking about tradition. From black and white movie nights, hiding pickles in the Christmas tree, and writing the initials of the Magi with chalk on the door frame. Recently I have had the pleasure of hearing of some great family traditions, both serious and comical. Continue

I am often asked why I chose an out of hospital birth with a midwife instead of a hospital birth. This is always a welcomed question, as it is an opportunity to educate others on their birthing options and to share information I have become passionate about. Continue

Ricki Lake speaks about her movie "The Business of Being Born," about home births, her own births, body image, pain and nudity. What's your take on birth? Do you think women in the U.S. generally feel empowered through birth and confident in the ability of their body to naturally deliver their children? Do most women expect a normal birth or are they filled with the fear that something will go wrong? What causes these impressions that are so vastly different across societies?
