Welcome!

Welcome to this mama's blog! I decided to start this blog as I started weekly posts on the Crunchy Bunch blog. I recently met Kathy at our local La Leche League meeting. We hit it off and now I'm blogging for her :) I never really thought of myself as crunchy. To be more accurate I never gave it much thought, period. However, according to this fun quiz, I'm "Crunchier than Grape Nuts." Be that as it may...

I'm the wife of a wonderful man and the mother of two beautiful children. In my former life I taught math. I recently completed my online instructor certification, so maybe I'll teach math again some day. For now, I'm busy raising my little ones. This summer I got to experience a home birth (stay tuned to the Crunchy Bunch blog to see how it compared to my hospital birth). I'm hoping to resurrect my garden this coming spring. We've had an organic garden for the past several years, but it was sadly neglected this year due to my hugely pregnant self and then a newborn. I have a greenhouse (built by my dad and my husband) that I would love to fill with plants. I'd like to grow herbs and veggies year-round, but I've got some logistics to work out (i.e. how to heat it during the winter without taking out a loan).

I'll let you know from time to time what this mama's hands are up to.
