About Me!

Photobucket

I am a Canadian living in Utah. I am from the Vancouver area so I miss the ocean and trees. I am a stay at home mom to two beautiful girls, Sariah and Rebekah. I love to learn more about and practice Attachment Parenting and you could say I'm kind of Crunchy. I use cloth diapers and believe in child led weaning. I continually try to live a 'green lifestyle' to show respect for this Earth that our Father in Heaven created for us. I have been married to my husband - JJ for 4 years. JJ is from Tennessee and in his first year of grad school (BioChemistry PHD program). JJ and I both come from families of 5 children and we hope to have a big family as well!
