Lola Brown

I live in Nova Scotia with my five children and Husband on a farm by the ocean. I share a bit of my life here mostly in the form of film photographs. I've been a birth doula for over a decade and I pretend to be a decent gardener. Please feel free to contact me by email. nearer.still@gmail.com http://vsco.co/lolabrown/

Found this gem... and the doll body 😬🤷🏻‍♀️. In other news, I leave for Boise on the 2nd to go see my sister for the birth of my new niece or nephew. That means I’ll probably spam this place like crazy. I also get to hang with my brother! #idahome

@john_prine was inducted into the songwriter’s hall of fame and our gang in Mt Hanley, NS couldn’t think of a more deserving artist. I’ve been listening to my dad play John prine songs on the guitar and the record player since I was a little girl and when I was little ‘smoke em if you got em” was my favourite song. My girls love this one and the lyrics are funny and poetic. They think @john_prine should come do a house concert here! #johnprine @bobnthedogs

Two years ago I couldnt get out of bed to make a cake for Gretta. I hadn’t slept for more than a few hours a night in weeks. I was emaciated from no appetite and unable to get dressed. People stood me up, clothed me and drove me to my 7 year olds party and I paced around in unexplained mental agony. It’s completely unbelievable now looking back. My body betrayed me. For six weeks I was severely mental ill. @jo_edgett sat in my bed more days than I can remember listening to bizarre rambling and crying @marissa.froese came to help me and checked in constantly and @naomibhill drove all the way from Dartmouth. I was So sick for no apparent reason. To everyone out there... it can and WILL get better. I didn’t believe it then but look at me now! #agitateddepression #majordepressiveepisode #mentalillness #honda185s #vintagebikes #weaningdepression

Margaret Blythe was born in Canmore AB. Because I didn’t have access to a midwife in three hills with my first, (I had an unassisted birth in a hospital...wouldn’t let anyone touch me🤷🏻‍♀️😂) and my midwife didn’t make it in time for Alberta (not her fault, Twenty minute birth but Jane my midwife was awesome after!) I drove three hours to Canmore with my third and promised the midwives there that if I rented a condo they could break my water on the morning of my due date and they would be home for lunch. I don’t think they believed me but they took me on and I drove to all my appts like a model client. They were fantastic and I got my first and only midwife attended birth! Gretta was born two hours after my water was broken on the morning of the sixteenth and she is the funniest thing to happen to our family. Smack dab in the middle of five she is a sunbeam with no filter and is seriously the most macabre child you’ve ever met. A bizarre mix indeed that we are so thankful for. We love her! Happy ninth birthday Gretta! @ranae.janelle @annakate_loves_birds_ @megthemidwife #birthwithoutfear #birthrights

Gretta planned a Birthday party for herself with her school class so we are all getting ready, decorating the barn, prepping for a wagon ride. She invited her whole class 😶.

This SHALL be the summer that I remember to wear sun hats!
