I am a thirty-something wife of one, mother of four, who loves to read, think, and laugh...hard. I am learning how to love homemaking, appreciate afflictions, and go to bed at a decent hour. I adore my husband, cherish my children, delight in my friends, and treasure my books. So how do I spend my time? I teach my children at home using TJED/Thomas Jefferson Education Principles. I spend what seems like an enormous amount of time cleaning and doing laundry. I sell a lot of different products, like FuzziBunz cloth diapers, Hotslings baby carriers, SOS Solar Ovens, M.O.M. Tai baby carriers, and whatever else strikes my fancy. In my spare time, hah, I am a doula, childbirth educator, and breastfeeding educator. I teach gymnastics to 70 homeschooled children every week. I teach a variety of classes on subjects that interest me...mostly on Leadership Education or TJED. I dream of becoming an amazing celloist because the music speaks to my soul and even though I have an amazing teacher, I struggle to understand how music works. I thoroughly enjoy camping, hiking, sleeping, playing games, doing back flips, and riding my recumbent bike. A midnight bowl of ice cream or a giant bowl of popcorn (olive oil and REAL Salt) along with an hour to savor a book with no interruptions is a welcome addition to any day.
