About Me: 
I'm a mother of three kids, ages 10 and under, married to my wonderful husband of 14 years.  I work part time outside the home.  I homeschooled for four years, just recently sent them to school, where they are enjoying it.  We live in the city, but have a garden, raise chickens and are trying to become more sufficient and community-minded in the way we live.  The blog Parenting Project takes on just about anything that has to do with parenting and being a mom, as seen through my eyes.
