About this Blog: I started an online journal in May 2002 on one of my old sites. I hand-coded the site design. It took me a long time to see the time benefit of using a blogging site such as blogger, and to understand the blogging craze when it hit. I switched to using blogger in 2005 sometime, then moved to wordpress in January 2009.

I mostly wrote about my family and my writing on mothering issues, but occasionally I used to write other things like fitness, dreadlocks, vegetarian & gardening stuff, politics, cultural issues. In May 2007 I re-focused this blog’s topics to be solely about parenting with an emphasis on my mothering experience. The children in the photos are my own, and all photos and pics are mine unless otherwise credited. This blog includes personal posts about my children, general posts about motherhood, and posts about parenting-related topics.

About Me: I write from my heart about motherhood. I have been a mother for over 23 years and it has been one of the most beautiful things to ever happen to me. There is something magnificent in guiding a human being from infancy to adulthood, and it is a responsibility I am in awe of. I have been deeply blessed with my children; with my family. I am married and have 3 children. My children are currently ages 23, 18, and 15.
