I'm at the park with my two children. I decided to bring my son Skyler's djembe drum so that he might practise at the park. It's a beautiful day outside―my favourite kind of weather, 68F˚, sunshine, slight whisper of a breeze. Long shadows of winter slice across the concrete like human skyscrapers darting out, long and sinewy and then snapping back and disappearing. Read the article...

At some time after the hazing ritual of childbirth, our “fight & flight” adrenal driven womanly minds (muddy and bloody as they are), begin to fathom the irreversible depth of how transformational motherhood actually is … yes, the buck stops right at our front-door now, 24-7. There is nothing part-time about it, ever. Kathy Fray points out the warm and welcoming facts of being a GREAT mum Breastfeeding realityAdded Sun, Nov 14th 2010, 17:08
THE FIRST WEEKS OF BREASTFEEDING For many of us, the first six weeks of new-motherhood are such a dichotomy! … Highs so high you know you’re tasting Heaven, and lows so low you know you’ve been through Hell. The post-natal period can be the most diametrically opposed, chalk-and-cheese moments of our female human existence – seconded perhaps only by the pain and pleasure of childbirth itself.

If you google Marion Kinnerman you can’t find anything about her life – she obviously didn’t make a mark in her career. She wasn’t a famous author. In fact she wasn’t even famous. BUT she and her written word can be found all over the world on thousands of blog and encouragement sites. Introducing SolidsAdded Mon, Aug 17th 2009, 08:29

Flowers on the bedside table. Breakfast in bed with lukewarm tea that has over-spilled onto the saucer brought lovingly in by your young child. A chance not to have to cook that day. A hand painted card with stick figured characters and love hearts in-between. Lunch or dinner with the family. Scorched almonds to totally devour yourself. ..... A very selective view of what Mother’s Day can be like for some. So how does Mother’s Day look and feel like for many women out there?
