It's Natural Birth and Baby Care.com's two year anniversary! It's been a good two years for the site and I'm pleased with how things are going. I would love to hear from you about what you like and what you'd like to see. Has NBBC helped you?

To celebrate the anniversary I decided to add a little feature to the site. Have you wanted to share NBBC with pregnant friends but you couldn't remember the name? Just tell your them to visit http://www.birth-baby.com - It'll get them right to the NBBC homepage!

The holidays are here and things are busy, so I'm going to keep this editorial short. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter! Happy holidays :D

All the Best,
Kristen

It's their best price of the year!

Are you considering building a website? Are you looking for hosting?

I know something better. Why not start a successful online business.

But isn't that what I'm doing when I get hosting or a site builder you say?

Not necessarily - what about traffic? Without traffic your site's going to fail. It's lost in the desert!

Site Build It! offers a complete system for building an online business that guarantees success. And they've got proof it works for moms. Take a look at this page...

And during their Buy-1 Get-1 Free Holiday Special you can get their best price of the year... but only for a short time! Build one while you stay home with your baby and give one as a gift - or build the second to give you and your little ones the freedom and security you deserve.

With their success guarantee you can grab this best price now and if you're not happy you can get your money back later. But I doubt you'll be doing that. I know I didn't. SBI! is who I picked to keep NBBC up and running.

This system works. Take a look at their Video Tour to learn more.

And then jump on this Holiday Special before you miss out. But hurry. That offer ends at midnight December 25th!!

Featured Articles

• Updated Baby Bath - I thought it was about time I scrubbed up this article a bit ;)


• New Birth Stories! I have added a lot of new birth stories lately. Be sure to check them out!

Product Reviews

I've reviewed the Ovusoft fertility monitoring software this month. I've been using it for almost a year now and it's great. Read the review for more info.

Book Reviews

• Unassisted Childbirth - pick up this book. Even if you're planning a doctor or midwife assisted childbirth the information this book is thought provoking and may completel change your perception of labor and birth!


• Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I reviewed this book awhile ago, but since it goes perfectly with Ovusoft I thought I'd highlight the reveiw. I think every woman in her childbearing years needs this book on her shelf!

Featured Recipe

Beans and rice.

This great recipe is adapted from Nourishing Traditions. Take one can of kidney beans and one can of coconut milk (use regular not "lite"). Empty both cans into a pot and add one cup of uncooked rice (brown rice works well). Add one cup of chicken stock.

Cook this mix over medium heat, stirring frequently. It's done when the rice is done and the mixture has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with butter and pure sour cream or creme fraiche. Add a side of crisp green salad and some avacado slices!

If you enjoy spicy add some jalapeno pepper slices to the pot before cooking! I love it with some spice but my children prefer it without peppers. This meal is packed with protein and a great way to eat brown rice if you don't normally care for it!

• Peppermint.com - Looking for the perfect baby carrier for your baby? Peppermint has the best selection around!


• Bornfree! is Laura Shanley's, the author of Unassisted Childbirth, website. There is a whole lot of information on birth and birthing, and on perceptions. You can read for hours here and just scratch the surface. The pages and pages of birth stories are so inspiring!
