A Father’s Day Letter and Photo Essay From Baby to Dada

June 18, 2011

Dear Dada,

Look how far we’ve come in a year!

This is us a year ago:

I love you because... you were the first person to hold me,

you rock me to sleep,

you make me happy,

you give great hugs,

you always want to hang out with me,

you keep me nice and close,

and you snuggle with me!

Look at us a year later!

I love you because... you make me feel better,

you swim with me,

you play guitar for me,

you show me how to do new things,

you read to me,

and you're the best Dada in the entire world!

Happy Father’s Day, Dada!

Love,
Baby

Charise Nulsen: Social Justice & Motherhood

Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in a woman’s life, and preparing for the actual labor and delivery can practically feel like a full-time job. There are so many choices to consider. Natural or medicated delivery? Midwife or doctor? Birthing center or hospital? The list goes on and on. One particular birthing decision that has become a fairly popular one in recent years concerns whether or not to delay cord clamping after birth.
More and more moms are educating themselves on cord clamping to make the decision that is best for their personal situations, and the medical community has also stepped up to share their opinions. As of 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) now recommends that the umbilical cord should not be clamped earlier than necessary. They specifically recommend that the cord clamping be delayed at least one to three minutes. Many women choose to delay cord clamping until the cord actually stops pulsing though.

We had a very special guest at Daisy Scouts today who taught the girls about Indian culture and henna. The girls loved it so much and enjoyed getting henna tattoos and learning how to tattoo each other!

Book #14 of 2019
After You by Jojo Moyes
This was an easy read, and I’ve always wondered what happened to Lou after she got to Paris at the end of the book that comes before this one, Me Before You. I’m definitely looking forward to reading the last book in the trilogy soon, Still Me.

Providing your family with the gift of travel is invaluable. It opens young eyes and hearts, broadens horizons, and helps children learn through experience. Travel also allows for family bonding time which can create memories that will last a lifetime.

Still, no matter how amazing the trip itinerary and despite the best efforts of everyone in the family, there will be times when your children get bored. Or need down time. Or aren’t interested in something that fascinates another family member. Fortunately, with a little bit of extra planning and a few handy resources, you can accommodate these occasions without letting the kinds of moments that all kids have supercede the highlights of the trip.
