Anthony's Birth!

We have a new little acorn at Acorn Place! Anthony James was born in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday, May 18th. He weighed 8 lbs. 14 oz. (The little rascal didn't want to come out until 14 days past my due date!) We had a beautiful, gentle, joyous, and exhilarating homebirth (I could go on and on with the adjectives!) Read more about it on my blog page! So we're settled in with our new baby and big sister Ayla is doing great! She's always sure to save some milk for Anthony when she nurses. She gives him plenty of hugs and kisses and always helps wash him in the bath. She only asks me to send him away once in a while :)

Happy Spring!

Spring is here!! We've been busy watching the flowers pop up through the ground, the robins return to our yard, and seeing the colorful buds appearing on the trees. Spring is a time of change and new beginnings...and at Acorn there will be lots of new beginnings! Soon our website will be completely revised so that online shopping is available. Yay! AND...the arrival a brand new baby sprout is due sometime aroung May 4th. The long winter months of gestation have brought a really round ripeness to my belly and once Spring is in full bloom, we will welcome Acorn's littlest member, surrounded by the warmth of the sun, the smells of flowers, and the colors of Spring.

We're going E-Commerce!

Acorn is making the move to have a full online shopping cart, so ordering our great products will be easier than ever.
