Check out the photos of my recent car crash in my development!

The Mommy Dialogues are eight moms from around the United States coming together to write their trials, tribulations and joys in parenthood. With 20 kids between us we offer unique perspectives on child rearing with a focus on a natural home and doing the best by our kids, even if that means putting our own priorities on the back burner.

We are a little crunchy and we even make our own granola. Yes; we cook, clean, craft and make babies. Our husbands are pretty lucky. We are Jews, Atheists, Christians, Buddhists, Pastafarians and Fill In The Blanks. We are from red states and blues states. Sometimes we can be a little salty, but somehow we all come together and make it work.

We are passionate about being mothers and while not all of us get to stay at home with our kids, the love we share for being mommy is unrivaled. We have singletons, multiples and even a set of Irish twins. There are 10 girls and 10 boys between the ages of 8 and soon to be born. Some of us cloth diaper, others use elimination communication. We make our own baby food or use baby led weaning. We baby wear. We have had c-sections, hospital births and home births and of course, power to the boobies.

Harper Joyce will be joining us shortly, hopefully tomorrow. We get the results back from the Dr today to tell us if her lungs are mature. If they are then she will be delivered and be joining the family. She looks so much like Lily that it’s scary and it’s going to be like having twin girls. I am so happy that and thankful that my wife Risa could be home this whole pregnancy and that everything has gone so smoothly so far. Here is the photo from the ultrasound yesterday the last time were going to see her until she is here!!!
