Seeking support in your new parent role?

Caroline successfully reoriented her carrier from psychologist (in France) to lactaction counselor and post-partum doula here in San Francisco (we live on Potrero Hill).

I'm obviously biased, but I think she's doing a terrific job at reusing her previous skills to be the best support to parents, especially the mother. And you know how the right help can be beneficial to the well-being of the entire family.

Sure, she knows how to care about a newborn, and can make you happy by preparing a healthy meal, but her real added value in her listening skills and ability to understand exactly what you need even if you don't know it yourself.

Check-out her website about postpartum doula and lactation counselor in San Francisco and spread the word to new parents :-)

That's Maldon salt on top. The peanut butter / honey filling is poping out the cracks. Next batch will be cooked less and have either habañero, cayenne, or jalepeño.

Await Your Reply: A Novel

Dan Chaon

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would...and I really enjoyed the last third as all of the seemingly disconnected bits came together. I haven't read a book this strongly about "identity" since the Auster binge I went on about 15 years ago. (Speaking of which, his new book is next up in the queue...)

Most of us call 'em leftovers. Because some people prefer not to eat food they consider "old" my mum decided to rebrand them as "plan aheads".

Homefries from Sunday, pan heated with fresh spinach and smashed garlic. It's amazing how much spinach reduces when cooked; one of my fav ways to consume my quota of green leafys.
