My Inaugural Post

Welcome, to whomever happens upon this blog.  I'm pretty new to blogging, but I'm giving it a shot. 
My hope is to be able to provide information/insights into parenting, Michigan, nature, random occurrences/epiphanies in my personal life, etc. 

I will be honest in my thoughts, and opinions.  I welcome feedback, comments, and opinions also, but I ask that they be kept respectful, and I will of course do the same.

Ok, now that I have that out of the way.... Where to begin?  

I'm married to a wonderful man, named Adam.  We have 2 children: Gretchen (3) and Grayson (8 months). 

My brother calls me a "hippie", because we cloth diaper our youngest, I'm a big fan of baby wearing, breastfeeding, and natural childbirth, and I'm concerned about what my family ingests and puts on our bodies.  I personally don't think I qualify as a "hippie", because of many reasons.  A few: I personally didn't make it through either of my children's births un-medicated, we still use commercial non-organic household and hygienic items, we don't eat strictly organic, and I have some very conservative viewpoints on certain topics.

Slowly, I am working towards becoming more "crunchy", LOL.  We have a couple acres, and currently only a small garden, we have been talking about building a coop and raising our own chickens.  We have some friends that are already doing this, and I am fascinated by the ideas!! 

I'm a huge fan of books, music, movies, and the occasional video game.   I'd like to get into photography as a hobby.   I have big ideas but am easily sidetracked :).

That's enough for tonight.  I'll try to post articles, or stories regularly!
