Thanks for being apart of our Summer Issue!

Thank you, Birthing Magazine for allowing me to write about something I feel so passionate about. I use social media for my work, and I enjoy it on my free time, but it has become a crutch for us all. It's hard to believe, but I didn't have any of it while parenting my babies...read about my thoughts on this:

"The Dance of Relationships and Why They Matter" is up on the blog today!

Dr. Deborah MacNamara talks about how to solidify the emotional bond with your child.

"Life is not possible without attachment. We all begin as cells that embed themselves in our biological mother’s womb, with her body providing a warm and safe place for them to multiply and divide. The
cellular transformation is breathtaking and provides a beautiful window to watch life unfold through connection. As the umbilical cord emerges in early development, it tethers mother and child to each other. This cord will become the pathway for sharing nutrients and substances, including fetal cells which cross into the mother’s body and take up residence in her heart, lungs and other major organs.1

While the physical attachment between biological mother and child is fascinating, it often eclipses another form of attachment that is critical to a child’s development. The emotional bond we form with our children provides a psychological womb in which they grow in the outside world. Children need
to be tethered emotionally long after the physical cords between us are cut..."

In our Summer 2022 Issue, Jessica Tucker shares two great ways to transform even the smallest spaces for a little self care. It's difficult to remain calm in chaos, when your bucket is empty!

Whether it's a spot for exercise, to read, or just a dedicated workspace to keep work and life separate, there are still ways to accomplish a little 'you' spot.

1. Make your favourite room or spot a little more luxurious or cozy. Splurge on nice sheets and decorate a little night stand, or add a fancy tray, a few bath bombs and a candle to the bath. If you can pick a spot where you can still supervise the kids, you can have a quiet cup of coffee or a few minutes peace. Don't be afraid to call it your spot!

2. If you unwind by "doing something", maybe carving out a zone in in a common area is a great idea! Add a basket for your favourite hobby supplies, a little easel for your desk, or a puzzle board that slides under the couch to the room!

Check out the article to see Freya's suggestions on how to keep the space all yours!
