About Me

jessica
I am mother to six wonderful kids and wife to one sweet husband. Together we have embarked on a life journey that has taken us outside of many of the traditional cultural institutions. Some of these choices have included home/unschooling, home birthing, and "attachment parenting". Regardless of the labels, our hope is to follow the needs of our family and to enjoy the journey of life. Please be gentle with regards to spelling/ grammatical errors that I may post. I am often trying to write while nursing a baby, mediating a disagreement, and answering a question simultaneously. I make every effort to proof-read, but sometimes it is all I can do to get the entire thought on "paper" :).
