Luna's Lotus Birth (Pt. 2)
Sleeping as a family for the first time after Luna arrived was pure bliss. So much anticipation and energy had been built up around this phenomenal event and now that it was over and we were transitioning into a new phase of existence as parents, it just felt so pure and necessary to rest in this space between. During those hours of sleep it was as if the whole Universe was suspended in time and life pulsed only to the rhythm of our three hearts... read more
Unassisted Home Birth (Pt. 1)
Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be sharing with you again after a long break from updating on here. We have been relaxing and hibernating in our babymoon cocoon with the most precious little moon of all time... That's right! Our little Luna Cove has arrived!... read more

Choosing a freebirth really does give you just that... freedom! To pick and choose every step and action along the way that resonates with your intuition and spirit. Some women choose to see an ob/gyn or midwife and some choose to do their own prenatal care. Some choose to participate in ultrasounds and tests, while others don't. The field of obstetrics has created an in-depth system for monitoring women and their womb during gestation, and... read more

We're building stuff!
Honest have been the only diaper that never leaked with our baby. However, I've been advised by our friends that some other brand of diapers wer equally superior, and I tried them, but went back to using honest diapers again. I actually think that they are the best.
