Hello, Mommies.
My name is Deneene and I live in Costa Rica with my lovely little family: husband, 4-year-old son, 2 dogs, 2 cats, pregnant goat, and the small little 9-week-old resident in my belly. We moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area a little over a year ago to find a bit more peace and quiet (with a toddler, you ask? ha ha!). It has been both pura vida, as they say, and dura vida as we adjust to life here outside our comfort zone and steadfast community of friends and family in California. We've met some great people here, but I simply don't have the tribe of women here that I did when I was pregnant with my first. So as we prepare to birth in Costa Rica and welcome a new baby to our home out here on the new frontier, I thought it would be a great supportive addition to join the Mothering online community. What a beautiful and eclectic group you are!
When I'm not mothering or partnering, I teach expository and creative writing online (tutoring homeschooled and gifted kids) and write about our crazy lives in Costa Rica on our blog (If you are easily offended, please be forewarned; I'm simply an honest gal. But feel free to check it out and learn what it's like for us here: http://www.casamariposa.blogspot.com )
I look forward to learning from and sharing with you all.
Cheers. Namaste. Blessings.
