Weekend Wonderful

I took this photo yesterday in Central Park, where the Kiddo and I spent a divine afternoon with a couple of good friends soaking up the warmth and fragrance of a day in which Spring seemed to be finally asserting herself.  We had such a great time that we're headed back again today, stopping on the way to purchase a harmonica for the Kiddo, who borrowed one from his friend yesterday and discovered a new talent!  Of course, no matter how much fun we have this afternoon, we will be sure to head back in time to go over to a friend's house to catch tonight's NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams!  I hope you can tune in as well!

And without further ado, here are my two favorite web finds of the week.  Enjoy:

Mama-Is tells her latest (unassisted, home) birth story in cartoon format!  Brilliant.  To compare and contrast, you must read about her first birth, which took place in a hospital.

I am in awe of this amazing Spanish commercial for a mattress that shows a beautiful, real-life home birth!  The motto of the new ad campaign for Flex mattresses is "Your bed.  The most important place in the world."  After watching this three times and crying every time, I'm sold!  Via Unnecesarean

  1. Happy Spring! I love the fragrance of the outdoors this time of year. Which is why I have the windows open even though the rain is pouring down right now.
