First of all, you should know that I want to be a blogger. A really good blogger, who tells interesting stories and posts neat pictures and never has a typo. A blogger who draws you right in with captivating titles and beautiful images. But I'm not that kind of blogger. I don't know how often I'll have something worth saying, but I want to, so I will try.
How 'bout a little bit of my life story, so you know me (or know me better, if you already happen to know me)?
I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Met Andy in college, and moved to Virginia, got married 6/01 and had Aubrey 7/02. I never liked Virginia much, and I could ramble on and on about why, but I want to try and be positive in my blog, so we'll just leave it at I never liked Virginia. Left Virginia for Wisconsin in May of '03, Lauren was born 2/06. Never in my wildest dreams did I picture myself living in Wisconsin, but I love it. It truly felt like home until March of this year, when the man I left New Mexico for decided he wants to move back.
You should also know that I love to bake and sew, though I'm not great at either. Well, no, I'm really good at baking, actually, but my repertoire is limited. And I'll try to share some projects with you, but no promises.
I'm what some (*ahem* my husband) refer to as granola - love the earth, do some crazy "hippie" things like use cloth menstrual pads, wash my hair with baking soda and vinegar, breastfeed my children until they wean themselves, along with the more mainstream green things like use cloth grocery bags. I want to grown my own veggies and fruits, and raise chickens for eggs. Homeschooling my children is a dream of mine that I really want to pursue, but I'm kinda scared.
I have one younger sister, Alison, who calls Prague home. Hopefully she'll be back in the states for a few years here soon, I miss her. She is the coolest aunt - just ask Aubrey. Or Lauren. They both know the truth, they'll tell you. :-)
So this is where we are at..... living in Wisconsin but trying to find our way home. Patiently waiting to see what is in store for us around the corner.
you would get along very well with my sister-in-law stacy. she lives in Lancaster County, PA and is a major proponent of homeschooling. You should check out her blog, she has lots of good tips and advice about it. Her husband (my husband's brother) is a OD and does acupuncture out of their home business and she does counseling there too, they grow their own food, are way into organics...anyway, you guys would be two peas in a pod!
ReplyDeleteI want to be a good blogger too. I don't really have anything interesting to say but I like to try anyway. I also breastfed, but only for a year for each kid and then I was DONE.
Oh, and I'm a tampon girl. Sorry, mother earth.
