What we’re reading today:
1. Ontario’s getting two pilot birth centres run by midwives. Nice.
2. Would you do anything to keep your kids out of trouble? Would you build an entire flipping nightclub in your basement complete with DJ booth to keep them from going to sketchier venues?
3. In defence of the term “mompreneur”… personally, we don’t get why you wouldn’t just go with “entrepreneur.”
4. New moms, do you suddenly feel a heck of a lot older?
5. Dancing baby:

Motivated by a Toronto Star article featuring my former prenatal class teacher, Rean Cross, I decided it was high time to do something about the two-year old placenta at the back of our freezer. Ideally, before it became old enough to get a driver’s license and leave on its own.
After writing about my aged placenta last week, it turns out I am not the only one with human organ meat in the kitchen. This post may motivate the clean out of the back corners of freezers in a lot of homes. I first meet Cross when she was teaching a totally comfortable and super-informative queer positive prenatal class in Toronto. (Since then, Cross has handed the class over to someone else.) She is a practicing doula, childbirth educator and a self-described placenta lady.
