About Me, Long

I guess this is too long for the About Me box, so it will have to be my first blog. My son was born in October '08 and from the time I was pregnant I've been using my brain more than ever to figure out how to be the best parent I can. Along the way I've had more opportunity and motivation to consider how to be a better resident of Earth, in spiritual, cultural and environmental senses. I've discovered that a gentle, attachment parenting philosophy is the best fit for me, my husband, and my son. And we're embracing some crunchy practices as they help our budget, aid our health, and fit into how we want to treat the world. Our lives have been filled with love and grace, and though my weaknesses get in the way of reflecting that as much as I want, that love both motivates and restricts my crunchiness, as the case may be. So I'm crunchylite, not (mostly) out of weakness, but as a lifestyle choice that values moderation, and in all things, Love.
