Thanks Saskia

Wow, where has April gone? This month has really gotten away from me.

My cousin Saskia gave me the Beautiful Blogger award... I think she wants me to post more! hahaha! Thanks Saskia!



As part of the award, I'm supposed to post 7 things about me. I've been thinking about this, and haven't really come up with much, so I'm winging it. Here goes:

1. I love to talk. But I was always a quiet kid. I know it seems contradictory. I enjoy intimate conversation-meaning, one-on-one or small groups. In large groups I tend to sit back and observe.

2. I would call myself intuitive. I don't really know how to elaborate on this one...

3. I love to crochet. I've thought about trying to sell crocheted things, but mostly I like to make things as gifts. I don't do many large projects. I've always found it more likely to get done if it can be done in a day or two. Or even better-an hour or two!

4. I love being a mom. Sometimes I feel like a complete failure at it, but I wouldn't trade motherhood for any other job or title.

5. I love gardening. Growing things give off such a positive energy. Plants make me happy. I would say that I need more plants, but I'm barely keeping the two alive that I have! William is fascinated by seeds and plants. I'd love to teach my kids about growing a garden. Maybe by the time Isaac is old enough to appreciate it, I'll have a place that I can grow a garden with my kids.

6. I'm a huge fan of natural birth. I know it's not always possible, but it makes me sad when women don't believe in themselves and the power of their own bodies enough to even give it a try. I also believe in breastfeeding. I am happy to say that Isaac is still nursing at 15 months and we plan to continue for as long as he needs/wants it. Not that I'm into the extreme extended nursing, but I'm in no hurry to ween him either.

7. Let's see... one last thing... well... hmmm... I told you I was winging this right? So, here's a random tidbit. My jaw pops and cracks. Yeah, exciting, huh? :D

So, I'm supposed to pass this along... I know some of you have already gotten it. Just be prepared, you might be getting it again!
