Menu for May 24

We’ve all heard the saying, “it takes a village”. Maybe we hear it so much that it loses its weight, but I remember being in the thick of the early postpartum days, those hazy, wonderful, challenging, long days that seemed to blur together and yet go by with the blink of an eye. I remember clearly moments where I realised the importance of having a village. The modern day village looks very different from the traditional one, which was built in to the everyday fabric of life. The modern one needs work…it might need to be selected, from friends, families, neighbours, doulas, midwives, OB’s, lactation consultants, therapists, pelvic floor physios, and dare I say, a meal delivery service?

I hope that you have built a village around you to provide support in all the ways that you may need in these times.

A reminder of a couple things this week: The offer of $50 off the Bloom Bundles for all May orders is still running so make sure you take advantage of this amazing offer. And also, if you’ve been thinking about ordering but haven’t…or if you have already ordered, I would love to hear your feedback. Check out my very short survey here and be entered for a Bloom Bundle!
