I’m a breastfeeding, baby wearing, bed sharing, organic eating, cloth diapering believer who strives everyday to live a greener life for the future of this planet and my family.
Ever since I was a little girl, all I ever wanted to be was a Mommy! Of course that couldn’t come till later so I did anything I could to work with children – teaching preschool and nannying. Now I’m finally the Mom I always wanted to be and it’s my true passion. I’m striving to be a compassionate, attached Mom to my sweet little toddler, Connor Harrison (and our 3 little rescues – Willis, Tito & Blue) Yes – I’m the lonesome girl in a household of 5 boys!
Here are more details for your curious minds:
- I was born and (mostly) raised in Delmar, NY. We moved to Cary, NC when I was 10
- My husband, Kyle grew up in Raleigh, NC with a few stints in Charlotte, NC when he was younger and then again after college
- We eloped May 2008 – truly, we weren’t even technically “engaged” (we’re not much into the ‘expected’ as you will learn…)
- Kept it our little secret until March 2009 – yes, we told no one! Why? It’s just more fun that way:)
- Adopted 3 silly dogs all at separate times
- Had our son October 2010
Now we’re slowing life down and enjoying it thoroughly. We are always trying to find new ways to live a more eco-friendly life. Becoming a “green” family has been a process. We didn’t start out so mindful in the beginning. It took having a child to put it in full swing and now we want to be a good example for our son by encouraging a healthier lifestyle both for our bodies and environment.
