My greatest Joy in life...
Abel, Leah, Witt, Maren, and Rachel.
One hundred years from now, it will not matter how much money I have in the bank, what kind of car I drove or what kind of house I live in; but the world may be a better place because I was important in the life of a CHILD!
                                      --Phil Callaway
 
WARNING!!!
HAVE YOU READ THE POISON CONTROL WARNING ON BACK OF YOUR CHILD'S TOOTHPASTE? Email me for information on a toothpaste that has university research to back its effectiveness and is not deadly for your child to swallow.
Did you know that one of the main ingredients in SHAMPOO DENATURES THE PROTEINS OF EYE TISSUES--IMPAIRING DEVELOPMENT--PERMANENTLY? It's even worse in the "no tears" formulas where there is an additional ingredient to deaden the nerves of the eye so the child is clueless when the shampoo (and its harmful ingredients) is in his or her eyes! Email me for information.

Angel Dance Birth Services - is a website dedicated specifically to my services as a DOULA (Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, AZ).

YOUNG LIVING is the source of therapeutic-grade essential oils that have absolutely changed the outlook for my family's health. I have learned how these oils allow us to save thousands of dollars in medical expenses each year.

WILDHARVEST is a Yahoo Group I started for fellow members of Young Living to stimulate discussions of health issues. There is a special focus on the subject of pregnancy, general female issues, and just about anything a young mom might face.

IS A HOME BIRTH RIGHT FOR YOU?

PRAY about this...and before selecting a MW take the time to interview at LEAST six ...WITH A LIST OF QUESTIONS.

I believe that the decision to home birth is best made with study and prayer...these links are a great place to start.

NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING
Forget the very real negative health and moral issues of the pill and the awkwardness of contraceptive approaches...there are huge benefits for those couples who gain deep understanding and respect for the wife's body.

I am not opposed to bottle feeding breast milk, but I believe in using bottles only when necessary--not as a replacement for the bonding of breastfeeding.
