It’s been a while

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Hello,

I know I’ve been MIA for a little bit.  It’s because I’ve been busy.

Between clients, planning for a big thing coming up and family, I lost track of time.

So I’ll tell you about what I’ve done this morning.  I made soup.  According to Little Miss, soup fixes everything.

So here’s today’s soup recipe.

Thai inspired sweet potato and pumpkin soup.

1 large sweet potato

500gms of Butternut pumpkin

1 stick of lemongrass

1 medium onion

1 bunch of coriander

1 knob of ginger

2 cups of stock

1 small can of coconut milk

Spray of cooking oil.

Chop up the onion, lemon grass, ginger and the roots and stems of the coriander finely.

Cube the sweet potato and pumpkin.

Spray pot with the cooking oil.  Fry off the onion, lemon grass, ginger, coriander roots.  Add the pumpkin and potato and cook until slightly coloured.

Add stock plus a little extra water.  Simmer until pumpkin and potato are soft.  Add coconut milk and blitz with a stick blender until really smooth.

Add the coriander leaves and serve.

Very tasty.  You can also add in some chili if you wish.

Enjoy.

It’s still on

Ideas and Inspiration

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Hello,

My clients are my inspiration.  The more I talk to and see them, the more ideas and inspiration I have. 

Lately there has been a common theme weaving through my clients and it’s one I can’t ignore.  It’s the lack of community and support new mums experience.  It could be something as simple as wanting people around with similar backgrounds to share familiar experiences to needing someone to listen without judgement whilst they tell their birth story.  Sometimes we just need to hear we are doing the right thing.  Maybe they just need a bit of TLC and a hug.

There also seems to be much misinformation and myth floating around new motherhood too.  The worst part is sometimes is completely contradicts itself.  This is really bad when you’ve had no sleep and feeling desperate.

So I’m doing a bit more research and need your help.  What were your greatest needs after having your baby?
