Happy Earth Day!
This feels like an appropriate moment to share some news with you. (Don’t get too excited, it’s not of the baby-making variety.)
This week I took over blogging duties at one of my favorite blogs in the b5 Health and Wellness channel, one dedicated to Connecting science, health and the environment. You may have […]
You may recall one of my new year’s resolutions was to get myself greener. Not greener with envy when I see baby bumps or get birth announcements from more and more friends. For the most part, I handle those pretty well. What I felt I needed to handle better was the volume of our trash, […]
The other days I found a website which chronicled one woman’s home birth of her fifth child. She was surrounded by her midwife, husband and little kiddies and between you and me, my initial eye rolling and skepticism turned to tears by the end of this touching photo sequence.

Did I really see this statement/command/slogan on the TV this morning?

Women’s periods have been tied to the moon and the lunar cycle for literally thousands of years. Before modern science came […]
This website is aimed at selling stuff, so take it at face value, but it does list a series of high risk occupations that I found interesting.
One of the high-risk occupations not mentioned is Soldier. Yet, being activated for duty carries enough risk to the future of one’s family (I feel this could win […]
Over 20,603 people participated in Blog Action Day on Monday, posting 23,327 posts focused on the environment.

I can’t wait for 2008.

Earlier this week I promised to keep the environment theme rolling for the next several days. Today, I wanted to share what several of my b5media health and science bloggers did to commemorate Blog Action Day.
You already know that I link mother earth’s reproductive health to ours. Kristen at Lively Women agreed that we […]
