Never thought of using the slow cooker! Great idea! I have been wanting some Broccoli Cheese Soup, so that might be my ticket.

Melodie. So great to connect with other HB families! I have a lot of close friends who have had HBACs as well. Way to go!

Joanne, stories like that about women being forced into births that look different then they want/desire (especially when it’s not medically necessary) break my heart. I definitely recommend going with a midwife and doing a home birth – it was a wonderful experience for me.
And Melodie, I didn’t know you had a home birth as well – and a HBAC – that’s so great! It is nice to hear of others making those kinds of choices too

I love these tips! Homemade “ice cream”, popsicles…all such delicious things!

I didn’t realize you had a home birth, Beth! I recently read an article in self magazine about a woman whose doctor basically forcibly broke her water with this hook thing…it really was a horror story and his unconcern for her feelings really gave me nightmares. I will most likely look into some kind of home birth or at least a midwife when and if I ever get pregnant.

This is such a great list! An icecream maker is on my wish-list. I got one for my wedding (22 years ago) and returned it for $$ never thinking I would use it. Now I am wanting one big time. We eat a lot of snacky meals in the summer – chips and dip, veggies and dip, fruit, cut up cheese and the like.

Great post! Man I need an ice cream maker. The faster summer goes by the more I feel like I am missing out!! And popsicle molds too. Since we are moving this summer there are so many things I feel like I am behind on and that my kids are missing out on. Argh.
(For the record I had a home birth (HBAC) too – always nice to connect with others).

These are some really great tips. By this time in the summer, when we all just feel hot, fixing meals can feel so tiresome. One thing that I like to do is run an extension cord outside, and use my slow cooker on the porch.
