Really, you can do it.  Remember, not too long ago, people used to make everything from scratch.  Not just bread, cookies, and ice cream...everything includes yogurt, butter, flour, vinegar (you know, the basics!).

This looks like lots of fun.  And easy.  And delicious.  Could be cheap, too, if you have a source of cream.

So, here is Liliana's birth story as written by my amazing wonderful midwife Corrine, I love hearing it from your perspective! I will preface it by saying this was our first homebirth, our amazing daughter Isabela was born naturally in the hospital. My husband will say that the most powerful aspect of our homebirth as compared with our hospital birth was how empowered we were as parents.
