As the blog name suggests this blog is about one's long-term(nearly 3 decades)quest to get pregnant, give birth and raise my children in a sustainable, minimalist, and ecological-sound way. We're talking baby wearing(No prams , buggies or strollers etc. thank-you very much), breastfeeding, co-sleeping, cloth diapers, avoidance of all media, commercial 'toxic' toys and really getting to know one's precious offspring by stimulation, communication and being intuitively-attentive to their every need. My school of thought on parenting, why bother to have children if you can't enjoy them, preferring to hand them over to nannies, paid staff, grandparents etc.? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The child misses out on quality time with mother and the mother misses the all important developmental milestones.
About me!
As a typically-maternal, early crab(Cancerian)I know from a early age I had a yearning to be mother. As soon as I held and observed Baby Emma Louise's routine back in 1980 / 1(I witnessed her being raised by staying in the family home for a couple of months in Birmingham, England and knew that I was the 'Earth mother' type:) I knew instantly and vowed to be a young mother. Now I have my biological clock ticking so fast one hopes that they can finally fulfil this long-term dream vocation soon(I get on well with fellow watery Pisceans, so a dreamy water baby would be great:)!
Hi Cosmic! Thank you for visiting my blog. I will definitely check out the books that you've suggested. I love your view of raising children in a minimalist, sustainable and ecologically-sound way. I admire that and wish I could do the same for my little one.

It's a pleasure Joy, thanks for the support and encourgement. It is very much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteWith a lovely, loving and supportive big sis close at hand, you playing classical music and reading to your child, I'm fully confident that you and your baby are going to have a magically-Divine relationship. Just remember EVERYTHING affects the baby in and out of the womb. Sing, dance, laugh,swim, talk to her etc.(Do what makes your heart sing:0) All those loving positive vibrations will do a world of good and provide the best start in life. Try to enrol in yoga pregnancy classes ASAP. As you may be nervous prior to the pending birth(Baby wants you to be happy, happy, happy:). I feel so strongly about this specific theme that one will get round to creating a book. How about 'Glowing Famillies' as a title? Thanks for dropping by!
Love and best wishes to you and the family:)
