Tanaka Farms Organic Strawberry Tours in Irvine, Ca


Tanaka Farms is an Organic Farm in Orange County that offers year round tours and activities depending on the season.
I've been wanting to take babygirl out to the farm since I heard about it last year, but wanted to wait until she was a little older, so she could really enjoy it. We went on a beautiful spring day and it was so much fun!

From March to June you can take the Strawberry Picking Tour . The tour starts with a tractor wagon ride around the farm sampling different goodies. The tour ends with lot's of strawberry picking and eating!

Spring Onions


Green Beans


Carrots


Time to pick and eat some berries! They give you a carton to fill and you can also eat as many as you want.








Mmmm, that was fun! Now, all I need is a bottle of champagne and a chocolate truffle and I'll be in heaven :)


We will go back again for sure!

The Birth Story: Ina May Gaskin and The Farm Midwives


Birth Story is a documentary film about Ina May gaskin, The Farm Midwives and the women who birth there. The film was made by two Mamas and is now at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
I just found out that another viewing has been added for tonight, June 23rd. Oh how I wish I could go! If you're in the LA area, check it out! If you're not, you can still give to support this wonderful documentary at the link below.

From the site:
In the early 1970s, Ina May Gaskin and the courageous Midwives of the Farm commune inspired the modern midwifery movement. Today, their efforts continue at the Farm Clinic and across the country, working against an ever-growing hospital culture of intervention and C-section births.

Revealing the Midwives’ stories with intelligence and wit, directors Sara Lamm and Mary Wigmore weave extensive archival footage, enlightening interviews and contemporary stories into a beguiling document of past and present. Through Ina May and the Midwives, Lamm and Wigmore portray childbirth in empowering and thrilling ways we’ve never seen before. The result is not just an illuminating documentary, but a joyful rallying call to see humanity through a new lens.

It's good to be Back!

Hello Everyone! Wowzer, it's been awhile! First off, my blogger platform has changed and the computer I did most of my blogging on no longer supports it. So, that cut out much of my blogging time. I have worked something out now, so I'm back!

I have many posts coming with all the deets. Here's a bit of a summary.

We took a beautiful, relaxing, exciting, fabulous and much anticipated family vacation to Tulum, Mexico! Lot's more pics and a review to come!


We launched ZenBabyShop.com! We had a Baby line in our former shop, Organic Outpost, but I felt that Zen Baby needed it's own place. Mr. Crafty designs and screen prints the onesies and T's. All 100% Organic, AZO and PVC free! Check it out!

I finally got my back tattoo finished. It only took 5 years :/ Ha! Kevin at Still Life Tattoo is awesome! Mr. Crafty has now taken up tattooing, so I've got another tatt started. I hope this one doesn't take 5 years to finish!


I've also done a few things off my 40 Before 40 List. Yay! Looks like I'm going to have to update!

I sure did miss this place! It's so good to be back!
