Posted on July 20, 2011 by Katherine Baldwin

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Katherine Baldwin

I haven’t blogged for a while and have had a rather slow, quiet and pensive week following my exhausting trip to Maputo, Mozambique. I’ve been nursing my swollen, dry eyelids, catching up on sleep, watching a little too much TV … Continue reading →

Perseverance pays off

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Katherine Baldwin

I haven’t posted here for a few days. It’s easy when I don’t post to think this site doesn’t really matter to me, to think that nobody would really notice or care if it just fizzled out. But I would … Continue reading →

Babies, bodies and the Big Apple

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Katherine Baldwin
