I have been working extra hard to update my blog posts regularly but I’ve been incognito for the past couple days and I’m finally home to tell you why.

If you remember, I announced the Indigo Festival a couple weeks ago and that’s where I went on Saturday. I was excited to go and support people and businesses that believe in some of the same things that I do. I was going to encourage more events that celebrated holistic pregnancy and parenting. I’m still learning about a lot of aspects related to holistic parenting but I’m loving it.

The kids had a great time playing in the Kids Area while I walked around and browsed through natural house care product catalogs or Discovery Toys catalogs or Playsilks catalogs. I could go on and on about everything I learned and saw and coveted but that’s not why I’m writing this. I’m writing this to tell you where I’ve been.

When I left the festival I couldn’t see because everything was white. Blowing snow was blinding everything and everyone. Cars were skidding into ditches and several were rolling and landing upside down. Chuck’s cousin, Sherry Ann, is also a Crunchy Granola and was at the festival showing moms how to wear their babies and how to use the myriad of slings out there. She lives not far from Red Deer so I followed her tail lights, white knuckling the steering wheel all the way. The weather stayed bad for less than 24 hours but in that time the roads were dumped with enough snow to keep me at Sherry Ann’s until Monday afternoon.

I’m finally at home and getting back into our school time routine. The kids and I are going to go snuggle in bed and read books. Right now we’re reading about the Trojan War and Odysseus’s adventures.

While I’m reading in bed I thought I’d give away a $25 gift certificate for Momzelle Breastfeeding Apparel. Momzelle has some beautiful tops that make it easy to breastfeed without showing off all your goods at the same time. All of Momzelle’s clothing is organic and made in Canada. What I want you to do is go to Momzelle’s website and tell me which top is your favorite and then come back here and let me know. I will choose the winner randomly on Friday at 8:00 pm so get your comments in so you can get this gift certificate. I promise you, it will make breastfeeding just that much easier.

Happy shopping!
