Retire Your Rake

You need one of these instead:




It's the only thing keeping my kids from certain leaf burial.

But leaf burial is fun!

Actually, the lawn sweeper can achieve leaf burial at a much quicker rate than a rake. It's like speed raking - and then, you can just wheel the leaves to wherever you want them.

What E3 is playing in there is a mere fraction of the leaves in our yard. If we made a pile of ALL the leaves she might well be lost for a while.

i love seeing pictures of your girls, they always make me smile! (and was it E3 that Barb the doula helped deliver? was that a home birth? I'd love to read about it sometime--- yay! post idea for you!)

Rebecca, Barb helped with E2, which was an unmedicated vbac, and with E3, who ended up coming via emergency c-section. Her presence and help was so beneficial in so many, although different, ways both times.

No homebirths. The idea appealed to me very much, but we live a farther away from the hospital than I was comfortable with, considering I was a vbac.
