After lurking here daily for the last month or so, I figured I should finally give in and join. I'm mom to a not quite fifteen-month-old boy we call Mini-moose (born 10/2009). He has a pretty good list of severe food and environmental allergies, so the two of us spend lots of time in the kitchen. I've had to teach myself to cook since I got married (five years now!), but now we eat 100% home cooked food, and I'm pretty proud of myself for how far we've come. The ladies at the farmer's market think the little guy's the best thing since sliced bread, and I agree. Sliced bread is overrated anyway.

We're Christians, we cloth diaper, we breastfeed (much to the chagrin of the extended family and the joy of my son), we're all musically inclined (even the kid), we can imagine pretend rocket ships out of just about anything. We (okay, I) use parentheses way too much sometimes. I like natural dyeing, gardening, cupcakes, and geeking out about living history and sci fi. I'm probably not crunchy enough to be here, but I like what I've seen, so I hope you'll let me stick around anyway. I don't bite.
