Let's play games in the arcades. Let's go to the races, the Art Museum, the boxing matches. Let's have friends. Let's laugh. This kind of life like everybody else's kind of life: it's killing us.

Cindy Crawford

Nothing I have accomplished has given me more confidence than birthing my children at home naturally.
