In May, I decided to organize a baby massage course... an excuse to get together with other moms and spend quality time with Leo. The series consisted of four wonderful sessions led by my dear friend and massage therapist extraordinaire Katherine. Each week she offered new nuggets of wisdom about the influence of colours on our mood, different ways to apply herbs and scents, specific techniques for every part of the body, and general insights about how our body stores, releases and exchanges energy. ... not to mention JOY... each week, she shared with us pure joy!!!

Every Monday, I would make a fresh batch of Chai tea and bake some special treats with Anaïs. She now wakes up each morning eager to get to the kitchen and bake with mama. What began as an idea of bonding time with Leo, and creating an open space for new mama's to come together, also afforded a special opportunity for Anaïs and I to enjoy some quality time!!

We all had so much fun sharing this time together (sometimes with big sisters joining in too), that we are going to shift into a series of mom & baby yoga classes. And in a few weeks, return to a new series of massage classes.... and on and on! I love it when things grow so organically.
A little video clip I made to cherish the memories of this special time (turn on the volume, it may take a minute to download, then it's just 30 seconds). Enjoy!
