I’m a 30 year old stay at home mom. I live in North Dakota with my hus­band, and my two boys. K is almost 3, and A is just over one. I have always wanted to stay at home with my chil­dren. In fact, when I was in col­lege, I had trou­ble choos­ing a major because I knew that what I wanted to do wasn’t a choice. I have a bachelor’s degree in ele­men­tary edu­ca­tion and mid­dle level (mid­dle school) edu­ca­tion with areas of con­cen­tra­tion in math and social stud­ies. I also have a master’s in spe­cial edu­ca­tion with a gen­eral strate­gist cre­den­tial. In 2005, I found out that I was preg­nant with K, and at the end of the school year I resigned from my job to stay home with him. I have been at home for 4 years now, and I am so blessed every day to be able to have the choice to stay with my lit­tle guys.

As you can tell from the major­ity of my posts, I am a breast­feed­ing advo­cate. I was breast­fed for about 1.5 years as a child. I am cur­rently tan­dem nurs­ing my boys. In my sit­u­a­tion, I believe that child led wean­ing is the best choice for us.

In addi­tion to blog­ging about breast­feed­ing and rais­ing boys close in age, I also blog about my read­ing lists, cloth dia­per­ing, asthma, life goals, healthy liv­ing, becom­ing more “green” as a fam­ily, and any­thing else that I find inter­est­ing and worth sharing.

Thanks for visiting!
