Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2016 by Yolande 2 Comments

Lee and I both have a pretty ersatz approach to most celebrations–even each other’s birthdays we’re not so great at…but for some reason, the kids have been *really* into Valentine’s Day! 

*

We got off to a bit of a rough start, when yesterday Lee presented me with a large saucisson (haha, yes, the abundant double-entendres).  I was less than enthused (“but it’s your favourite kind”).  I figured that was it, but then this morning, I woke up to a gorgeous single red rose, and lovely cards from Horus and Treva.  

*

After bacon and eggs and chickpea salad, we had a kitchen dance-party, and Horus came up to me and whispered in my ear “now would be a good time for you to smooch dad”, so I had to oblige. 

*

We were going to go for a walk–it’s gorgeous and bright out there, but I think instead we might just wander out into the yard for a few minutes, as it’s one of the coldest days of the year, and I’m not sure I can handle it.  My heart is already in the spring.

    I saw your video on YouTube! Loved it! I gave birth unassisted twice, it was really wonderful. I just wanted to reach out and show you my support, from one mama to another.

WELCOME!

I work with smart, independent women who are sick of feeling disempowered by the myth that childbirth is a medical event from which we need to be delivered. I help mothers navigate the process of planning and manifesting their freebirth without fear. I'm also a writer and a ceramic artist. Feel free to get in touch with me at sasamat(dot)clark(at)gmail(dot)com.
