   <<**** CURRENT EVENTS ****>>
   September 23, 2009 Ã>> Apologies to friends.
   I do feel the need to apologise to you all about my lack of entries in
my BLOG since August 22.  As an indication here is a short list of what we
have been doing.
   August 17 - 21 - Vacation with the Lowes at our friends property. 
August 22 - 23 - Jen packed up & we get ready to take her back to
university.  August 24 - 28 - In Vancouver getting Jen settled, tour
Vancouver area with our hosts, visit Wreck Beach, return home on the 28th.
August 29 - 31 - weekend cleaning up at home with a day visit to the club.
September 1 - Rob starts Grade 3 September 2 - 4 - sign up kids for swim
classes, soccer, dance.  September 5 - 22 - routines settling in.  Day
trips to club on weekends.
   Right now I won't attempt to carry on with telling you more about our
holidays as I am still trying to get all that happened written down in a
way that makes sense.  A lot happened with our friends on the August 17 to
21 vacation.  I need to get more of the viewpoint from our friends as to
what they felt was exciting for them as more milestones were achieved with
our families.  Since those milestones occurred we are spending more time
with our children just enjoying them as they learn and play.  Many of you
have noticed my infrequent chats online for a while now, that is mostly
because we are focused on our children more exclusively these days which is
the right place for a mom.
   One milestone I will mention, is that Matthew, my 21 month old, is now
potty trained!  While we were camping he was always taking off his diaper.
He preferred to be naked and while camping I let him because a little pee
on the dirt or grass wasn't a problem.  Matthew started to show more
interest in July and really studied us all when we would go into the
bathroom.  He would stop everything and run to check out who was there and
to watch.
   He likes to watch his older sister Kathy and his brother Rob using the
toilet.  When Kathy was done she'd call out for me to help check her bottom
and he'd run to find me.  I'd come into the room usually finding her bent
over the side of the tub, her cute bare bottom tilted upwards.  As I would
lean over to check how well she had cleaned herself, Matthew would stick
his head between mine and her bottom to check too.  So cute!  I'd then take
a wet wash cloth, finish cleaning her and kneel down to give her a final
check with my tongue.  All those nooks do need some attention you know! 
Then Matthew started doing that too!  He would copy what he could seen I
had been doing.  Holding her bottom cheeks apart, fingering her, then
licking all around giving her some gentle pleasure.  Seeing Matthew doing
that with Kathy is just too cute.  Now that Matthew is trained, he too
receives the same attentions from me too.
   You know a child is getting into mischief when you haven't heard a sound
from them in 5 minutes.  Well, I found him a few times with his butt down
inside the toilet and him hanging onto the sides.  That was a huge clue for
me to get out the potty for him.  He loved the idea and soon knew when to
go potty and then ask for help gettting cleaned up.  He still needs to
learn more about cleaning up but he is getting there.  He is not shy to ask
for help and will ask to have his bottom cleaned from anyone around.
   Now he can enjoy being totally nude like the rest of us.  I do have him
in pull-ups for sleep time but even those are dry most times.  We've had a
few wet accidents here at home but those are very infrequent the past week.
This was another reason for me not chatting all the time ..  when he had to
go I had to stop anything I was doing.  Some days it was a challenge I must
say.  A very pleasant challenge.

   <<**** PREVIOUS 360 BLOG ENTRIES ****>>
   I have added comments and additional descriptive text in the following
to provide previous readers of my blog more to read.  Text files are
difficult to manage and I hope that my separating these comments between
marks as follows helps to define the original entry from the new.  The
symbols (,)-(,) will be the separation marks and yes these are intended to
be boobs!
   (,)-(,) I selected this entry because I promised to tell you about our
co-sleeping and family nudism in an earlier blog.  (,)-(,)
   Entry for March 01, 2008 - Family Nudism, naturism, & natural living
   Spring is just around the corner since I just heard our first robin call
this morning.  I sure hope our summer weather will be good this year as I
definitely want to be outdoors and nude as much as possible.  I know that
the road to our nudist club campground will be well traveled this summer.
   On Fridays we usually have our neighbours Amy and James and their
children over for a family dinner to wrap up the week and "decompress". 
Last night we got into a discussion on the effects of nudism on our
children.  We all have the same opinions that naturism is healthy for our
families.  While we intuitively knew that children who grow up in a nudist
setting tend to be more self-confident, more self-accepting (body-image),
more sexually well-adjusted and comfortable with their sexuality, we hadn't
realized how much our children have become awesome role models for nudist
children.
   Keith and James both noted that it's our natural open approach to family
life that has helped our children develop these traits.  I have observed
this mostly in my two oldest children.  Jen and Rob definitely show self
confidence in their school activities and in their interactions with other
children and adults outside of our family.  My children respond far more to
our attitudes and actions than what we could ever say to them.  Our open
and natural approach to life within our family definitely helps us to
strengthen our family bonds.  It shows in the incredible love and passion
that our children demonstrate in their daily lives at home and school.
   Amy and James have noted a remarkable reduction in the number of sibling
arguments between their kids since they've been practicing family nudism.
Just two years ago, their two oldest children had frequent arguments and
sometimes even physically pushing and hitting each other.  Now these two
are not teasing each other as much and in fact they are very happy to help
each other out with homework, chores around the house and keeping each
other company.  Amy and James also said that nudism has made them better
parents and given them the real "need" for more quality time with their
children than they did before they became nudists.
   After our discussion our kids dragged us all downstairs to our shower
room for our weekly family shower.  This brought to mind an email I
received from Amy Spinner on showering together.  We agree with her that
having showers or baths with another person is another wonderful way to
strengthen family bonds and relationships.  We all love touching each
others bodies and enjoy physical and emotional bonding that happens with
the skin to skin contact.  (PS.  We also do enjoy and celebrate all happy
natural reactions!)
   Have a great weekend.  Love you all, Julie, Keith, Jen, Rob, Kathy and
Matthew
   (,)-(,)One of the biggest reasons for Steve and Angela to have less
fights is that it is very difficult to fight with someone you love and are
intimate with.  Steve and Angela started sleeping with each other more and
more since the vacation we had in August 2007.  Steve had been introduced
to sex by his mom soon after our vacation.  Once that happened he was quite
demanding and Amy had to get Angela to help get Steve to calm down. 
Frequent blow jobs and intercourse helped him get into control and helped
the two older children to bond and become more than other brothers and
sisters.  They are so cute now and I do find they are exciting to watch
when they show off for us.  Amy and James encouraged them to help each
other whenever they needed to release their frustrations.  I've seen them
having foursomes together and the two kids fit right in with their loving
parents.  All our children now will ask anyone of us to give them kisses,
to touch them or they will ask us if we need a kiss, suck, fingering or a
simple hug in return.  (,)-(,)
   Entry for March 14, 2008 - Benefits of Family nudism, open lifestyles
   As parents we have a golden opportunity to provide a healthy environment
for nakedness in our own home.  We encourage family nudity and the
closeness that brings to each person with other family members.  Young
children do not have any sense of modesty, and really don't care who sees
them naked.  This is the time when the parent can mold their conscience
without making them self-conscious of nakedness.
   We start family nudity with our children from birth.  After a diaper
change we let our young ones lie on a cover on the floor fully naked and
enjoying the freedom.  We have a sun room where we usually are in during
the day.  The warm tile floor and sunbeams are wonderful on your body.  Our
kids love to play in the room without any clothes on.  One benefit of the
tile floor is when they get to potty training.  You'd be surprised how
quickly potty training happens when your toddler/preschooler is allowed to
go bare at home.  Of course we have some "accidents" but they actually are
infrequent and the tile floor makes for quick cleaning too!  As a result
being naked with each other is not viewed as being abnormal.
   Going nude during the summer is a lot more comfortable and natural for
us all.  Our children immediately strip off their clothes as the get inside
the house.  (Leaving me to pick them up sometimes, but that's ok.) During
the winter months we keep the main living area warm & comfortable during
cold weather.  Our sun room is very popular at this time of the year during
the day.
   One benefit of our family nudism is that we're also teaching our kids
that we have to be physically clean.  They shower after coming home from
school, they have towels that they use on chairs and couches to sit on.  As
a result I think we have fewer colds in our family.  That's a natural
result of our children's efforts at being clean.
   In our family we also have a focal point for family nudity that enables
the whole family to participate together.  We have an outdoor hot tub and a
large shower room which is large enough for 6 adults.  Our little ones see
this as a heated kiddie swimming pool they can use water toys in too.  Our
huge shower is lots of fun and having showers together leads to many
enjoyable moments especially if the guys are helping.
   We also allow our children - from birth - to see us in ordinary nude
situations (e.g.- dressing, bathing or showering, using the toilet) or any
activity where nudity is a natural part of the activity.  We definitely are
teaching them when nudism is acceptable and when it isn't.  They know that
others don't appreciate being nude like we do.
   We believe that by being comfortable with our own bodies we will
naturally convey the message to our children that nudity really is okay and
not something to fear.  Very quickly they are so used to it and begin to
explore their own feelings about being nude themselves.
   We do teach then that there are times in life when clothes must be worn
for protection, for comfort, and to adhere to what is expected outside of
our home.  We have been able to show our children that we have to respect
other peoples standards.  They all know that other people are not
accustomed to nudity, and it's kind to respect their wishes.  This may mean
keeping the curtains drawn, or willingly closing the bathroom door when
guests are present, for example -- a practice that encourages courtesy.
   As the kids grow older they begin to explore their world around them. 
Their natural curiosity is amazing.  With my last pregnancy my son was
always asking a lot of questions about what he saw happening.  He was very
curious about my tummy changes, the changes in my breasts and many other
parts of my body.  I'd explain to him in simple words what was happening
and give him the opportunity to ask more questions or to even hands-on
explore what the changes were like from his point of view.  Seeing him
listen to my tummy for the heartbeat was so endearing.  Once he put his ear
to my vulva under the impression that he would hear it better because the
opening lead directly into the baby.  He found it wasn't anywhere near as
clear as listening to my tummy.
   Robbie has more of a sense of human reproduction then other children his
age.  He is not embarrassed when discussing human anatomy.  He'll be very
comfortable as he grows to his teen years.  I know from how my oldest girl
has been that our natural sharing of sexuality will keep the communication
lines open during adolescence.  Jen was always very open to asking me
questions about all topics.  Our relationship has grown as a result.  Our
natural open approach to family life has also provided our children with
the opportunity to explore on their own level various degrees of sexuality
and sensuality.  They know the joy in feeling the sun on their bodies, the
touch of a hand as they are massaged, how others react to their touches,
the joy of giving pleasure.  We believe that as parents we need to be
responsible for providing them the opportunities for a healthy enjoyable
and safe environment for them to learn with us, their siblings and
themselves.  I believe that children raised in this environment are more
tolerant of different cultures, attitudes, people and beliefs.  They will
be natural citizens of the world.
   (,)-(,) Rob is now in Grade 3 and getting into spelling.  One of our
family learning exercises is to have the kids tell us what the various
parts of their bodies are and to point to them.  When they get old enough
we include the correct spelling of those words.  Rob will point to a part,
say what it is and is slowly starting to be able to spell the word out for
us.  I love it when he is pointing out parts of the body such as penis,
scrotum, testicles, vulva, clitorus, anus, labia, vagina.  Those touches
are very special to me.  I can see Kathy watching us as he does his
spelling lessons and I know she'll be doing that earlier than he has.  I
think perhaps I have discovered a new way for young children to learn to
spell.
   As an aside, we do talk to our children using the proper terms for the
parts of our bodies.  I do this so that they can be confident when they
talk with the doctor about how they are feeling and show and describe what
is hurting them.  In time I know they will know the other normally used
words such as cock, cunt, pussy etc but for now we are actually quite
formal in our discussions.  (,)-(,)
   Entry for March 18, 2008 - Co-Sleeping, Sleep sharing, family bed
   One of our ways to promote family bonding is our adoption of the "Family
Bed" where we all sleep together.  At our home we have one huge mattress in
our master suite and anyone can just come in and cuddle and then sleep with
us.  Sometimes our kids will sleep in their own rooms or sleep with another
sibling but a lot of the time we have them all in with us.
   I started sleep sharing when my daughter Jen was a baby.  I was a young
mom of 16 and I had Jen's bassinet in my bedroom.  If she so much as moved
I was awake and up right away.  But being a teenager still I soon gave up
(sleep was so much better) and just kept her with me in the bed.  If she
needed to feed I would pull her to me and She would nestle right in and
feed.  I did have lots of leakage so most times I'd wake up with wet sheets
so I soon covered the mattress with a rubber cover then a mattress pad,
bottom sheet and a flannel sheet then top sheet and quilt or comforter.  I
even rolled up a blanket into a tube and placed that on the other side of
Jen so she wouldn't roll out of the bed.  At the time I didn't know about
the name sleep sharing I just thought it was a great idea that worked well
for me.  In time Jen did have her own bed, but many mornings she'd be back
in my bed with me and cuddled up in my arms.
   When I graduated from University and moved to Vancouver for my first
job, Jen was sleeping more in my bed than in her own.  The only time she
would sleep in her own bed was when I had a date night because I had a baby
sitter stay with her.
   One weekend after I met Keith and we were getting serious, he started to
sleep over.  Jen was very surprised when she came into the bedroom the next
morning to find Keith sleeping beside me.  But like any nine year old Jen
just crawled up beside me and snuggled in too.  She never thought it was
strange at all.  I never thought much about it and neither did Keith.  (As
I remember, at the time the 1988 movie The Good Mother was released.  Its
about a mom and her daughter and the moms boyfriend.  Our story didn't
follow the move, I didn't lose Jen.) Being nudists Keith and I never really
was concerned by Jen coming into the bed with us.  After we married Jen
would sleep in her own bed but some nights she would crawl back into our
bed because she was cold or needed a cuddle.  Having her between us just
seemed to be so natural.
   When Robbie was born we just moved closer together and I re-created my
roll and had the bedsheets made for me leaking.  Robbie would sleep on the
outside of me, then Jen and then Keith on the other side of the bed.  As
our remaining kids were born, we've continued the practice.  It is a bit
crowded with the six of us in our bed but its so cozy.
   For the last year Jen's been sleeping more in her own bed since she's
needed to study long hours.  Robbie is happy to share either our bed or
Jens.  Many mornings when I wake up Jen, I'll find Robbie in bed beside
her.
   The bottom line is that sleep sharing is a wonderful way for families to
bond and be close with each other.  Our children feel secure in the
knowledge that we'll be there for them always.
   Entry for March 30, 2008 - Nudism and the family bed
   There are many families that have adopted the family bed approach with
their children.  They often hide that they do that from their friends and
family.  Here in North America it sounds very strange practice, while in
many cultures throughout the world this practice is quite common.  30 years
ago in North America, not many people had the room for each child to have
their own room or bed.  Siblings would share their beds as a result.  Some
families had to share the parents bed because they just didn't have a bed
for them to sleep in.  Economics today allow us to have the resources to
have each child in their own room and in their own bed.
   I truly believe this leads to many of our negative personal issues in
our society such as our rules in schools where public displays of affection
are frowned upon.  The family unit is not as strong as it used to be
because we do not condition our children to be together and become a close
family unit.
   My husband and I believe that the family bed helps to solved these
issues.  Our children know they are loved, they understand they can come to
us and ask us anything.  If you sleep naked with a person you end up
naturally sharing more of yourself with that person.  Being a nudist
family, we are normally naked in our home.  At night we are usually naked
together in our bed.  The warm skin of another person sleeping next to you
is a wonderful bond which is different then if you wore pj's.  The family
bed also provides us with many opportunities for learning as well.  All our
children have seen the boys and my husband with morning erections.  The
family bed was the major factor in our becoming a close family.
   Jen and I started our relationship because she caught me masturbating
one morning in our bed.  That lead to a few good questions, a show and
tell, and many happy times together.  When Keith entered into our lives Jen
had a few opportunities to observe us having sex.  We thought she was
asleep but for some reason our movements must have awakened her.  :)
   While we generally keep our sexual life a personal private activity we
certainly have never restricted our children from observing our joy,
passion and love for each other or if they are curious becoming involved
with us.  How else are we to teach children to be generous, loving and
compassionate people?  There is too much hate and anger in this world.
   I know we're unusual in our openness about sex.  Most parents don't talk
about sex with their children the way we do.  I've always been truthful
about sex and I've tried to help them understand that they should never be
ashamed of anything they do sexually.  There are only two prohibitions:
don't hurt anyone else and don't do it without their consent.
   I suppose I am turning into a "flower child" of the 60's or 70's.  Peace
not war!  Family love for all!
