Welcome back! I’m feeling very guilty after leaving this to blog to wallow without new postings for the past six months, after what I’d like to think was quite a dedicated start. I once read that a huge percentage of blogs quickly go to seed, so maybe I have a chance of redemption as I am now reviving this as a forum.
To be fair (and kinder to my workaholic self) we’ve been crazy busy with lots of wonderful happenings! So what’s been going on since I last wrote?
Well my book ‘The Big Book of Birth’ has enabled us to reach thousands and thousands of women – around the world – in the nine months since it was published - educating the same number in those nine months as we’ve managed to reach in the first four years of running a pregnancy education center in NYC! So that feels pretty good for everyone at Realbirth.
And I’m very happy to say that ‘The Big Book of Birth’ continues to get great reviews, such as this one:
Towards the end of last year, Realbirth opened its second Manhattan location at 49th Street and 9th Ave. You can read about this on the home page of our new website, which tells the whole story about NYC’s largest eco-friendly baby store (complete with beautiful teaching space!).
What’s REALLY exciting is that we were named “Best Parenting Resource” by New York Magazine! You can read the review here:
And Time Out wrote us up in their Pregnancy Guide:
As you can see lots of great things are happening to Realbirth. And on top of all that rewarding work, I even found time to get married last fall! After seven years as a single mom (translate - not having to listen to another opinion at home that counts equally as much as mine!) I am now adjusting to having a partner in crime. I must say, I highly recommend this marriage thing! My kids, ages almost fourteen and ten are thriving having another adult to torture, and as a parent it’s nice not being outnumbered anymore!
So it’s been a busy year…a book, a new space and store, a new marriage…who knows what will happen next…
