About Me


blog 182

I am a Mom to 3 unschooled kids ages 4, 9, and 13. I am wife to a hard workin’ man that makes this all possible. I think we should all live for what makes us happy and live outside the boxes-all of them! When I have time; I love to take photos, listen to music, work in our garden, eat raw foods, stay up late and drink adult beverages with my friends and laugh really loud, watch the birds, travel, camp, walk fast in the mornings and walk slowly in the woods, shop for treasures at thrift stores and flea markets, steal any alone time I can with my husband and do anything creative with my kids. I am impatient and a poor speller. I really want to win the lottery; so I guess I should start playing. I like merlot, strong blue cheese and really spicey food. One is never enough. I love the beach. I am most probably in mid-life crisis mode of experiencing and getting done as much as I can. I love accessories. I am an eye candy junkie, it moves me to my soul. I love Starbucks coffee. I am a list maker. I follow my own rules. I love details. I am a collecter of many things. I could be a professional voyeur.

    Hello,

    I’d like to subscribe to your blog via rss, but I can’t seem to find a button :(
    Have I overlooked it?

  8. Alison–Oh my-you’re right! There is no button. I’ll see what I can do. In the meant time- is there a button in your address bar at the top of your browser page? Thanks for reading and letting me know about this!!

  9. Love this. So glad to have found ya :)

  10. wow. i feel like i just read my own “about me” statement. weird.

  11. Oh my God, you’re SO creative. Loved!!!

  12. Wow, love your ideas and beautiful photos! We’re unschoolers in Texas. Love your blog–very inspiring! May I ask what kind of camera you currently use?

  13. Are you in Ohio? The sign in your header of ‘Columbus Supports Midwives’ makes me wonder as I’m in Ohio too!

    Just hoping I’ve found another amazing Ohio blogger to read!

    If not…well…I’ve found another amazing blogger!

    I’m making your sanitizer! We seem to have been picking up every single cold/flu/virus (we’ve been told it’s cause the raw milk we get is healing us…recent vegans who became allergic to soy….huge transitions for us!) I’ve been having the kids use the nasty sanitizer as we load into the car from each errand we do. I hate it as we’re baking soda, peppermint oil and vinegar cleaning people but…we need a break from the sickies! Now…I have that break without loading the kids systems with a bunch of chemicals. Thanks!
