Hi! I should introduce myself. I'm new to Vermont and to the mothering forum.
I have a 5 yr old girl, and 2 yr old boy. My son was born at home. I'm pregnant with #3 and I'm hoping for another home birth.
We just moved here from Alaska to be closer to family and so that my husband could join the National Guard. He leaves for 6 months of basic training next month.
I don't agree with everything I read in mothering magazine, but I do like the community here and would like to meet some new people in my new neighborhood!
here's a bit about me
i share a family bed.
i delay vaccinate my children.
i feel very strongly against drugs and alcohol.
i use both cloth and disposable diapers.
i would never in a million years spank my children.
i respect my children.
i nursed my daughter until she was a few weeks from turning 4 years, i nursed through my pregnancy with my son and tandem nursed for 10 months, i am still nursing my son.
my children watch very limited television. approx 2 shows a week.
i try very hard to be selective with the toys in my home. we strive for wooden/fabric toys, we do have some plastic but from companies i have researched (mostly european due to their higher testing standards) but we have one weakness...littlest pet shop.
we are currently learning about spirituality thanks to my daughters strong curiosity.
thanks for listening!!
