I've studied space. How we plan it, and the intentional decisions people make to exclude specific populations from specific spaces. I live in a tiny human friendly home. We own zero possessions that are priceless, and that's really an excellent choice for our family. Juice and cheese sticks end up everywhere. We have over flowing book… Continue reading Creating Space

When You Live Your Hardest Life
I am determined to document this experience. I know that I am not alone. I am determined to share with others so they know that they are also not alone. I am living my hardest life. About a year ago I said crassly, I would not stress about things money could solve. I knew what… Continue reading When You Live Your Hardest Life
When The Tiniest Breaks

They have grandparents that… Continue reading To The Second Genertion

I… Continue reading Sometimes We Cosleep (Or whatever fancy term you want to give it.)
That One Time We Dropped Out of Preschool for Love
I am not completely sure why I have not shared this experience yet. It is a super important issue to draw attention to. It is one that affects so many people. And, for whatever the reason… maybe the politics of this choice, the protection of the people involved, the judgment, and the urgency of needing… Continue reading That One Time We Dropped Out of Preschool for Love
Mothering Moments
Happy Mother's Day, Mamas! I have lots of feels about this day, and I don't totally understand all of them. In a full disclosure these are just MY feels, and not meant to be offensive. I don't love the constant Internet dialogue of "this is the hardest job ever." I loath the posts that beg… Continue reading Mothering Moments
