A small piece of history was recently discovered. RECORD YOURBABY'S HEARTBEAT IN ANADORABLE STUFFED ANIMAL! The smallest ancient Egyptian coffin was found.  In a culture that treasures life; they also treasured and respected death. This coffin was too tiny to hold an infant, smaller even than a newborn.  This coffin was merely 44cm, large enough to embrace a fetus of just 16-18 weeks gestation. 1

It’s Mother’s Day weekend, and while we are all elbow deep in mimosas and fancy brunches -or laundry and dirty diapers, I think we need to take a minute to celebrate our mom friendships.  You see, I truly believe that ‘The Village’ is alive and well! The modern village may not be the same as THE village that everyone is always talking about, but like most things in life – it has evolved. Today’s v

Photo credit I cannot type the news fast enough!  I am smiling ear to ear! While this news is not as huge as Netflix announcing that its employees will receive an optional year of paid parental leave, this is a small step for our country that can possibly lead to huge changes!
