With two teenagers and a baby under one roof, the Rios family balances a full plate everyday. A house full of good food, love and laughter, and a dash of Sephora, this family's positive vibes are contagious.
Tell us about your family.
My family keeps me very busy but I love them for it. My husband works from home for a computer company, my two step kids are busy high schoolers, and my baby Dillon eats non stop and won't stop growing! We all manage to live under one roof without killing each other… and we like it!
What does a typical day in your family look like?
A typical day… is never typical! Everyday is different for me. In the mornings though, my husband and I both wake up around 6am to have coffee and chat while the kids are still asleep. I then shower quickly, gulp down a smoothie, and crawl back into bed in time for baby Dillon to wake up to me smiling and attacking him with morning kisses. I work from home most days, so most of

Spending time in nature with your baby can strengthen the bond between you. The simple act of holding your baby close, feeling their warmth, and sharing new experiences together can create strong emotional connections. It’s also a wonderful way to reduce stress and improve your mood. When my littles were extra fussy, I’d take a walk around the neighborhood. Even though I don't live in

We were so happy our resident midwife & acupuncturist, Elizabeth Bachner was able to answer your family’s questions about birth plans. Here are the questions you asked and answers below.
What is the point of a birth plan?
Gone are the days around the thinking that a birth plan is something you write up to tell your care provider what you want to magically happen at your birth. A birth plan is an exploration, a journey into understanding who you are as parents. It encourages a conversation with your care provider so you can find out if you are both be on the same page, what his/her boundaries are and whether or not he/she is practicing evidence based medicine. It is a flexible list of ideals in a low risk situation, your informed consent or refusal of state mandated vaccinations and tests, a list of who will be in the room and their role, as well as any other important information you wish to communicate to the birth staff.
