About me

Gender Female
Occupation They call me Mama
Location Tasmania, Australia
Introduction I am an Aussie, hippie-at-heart Mama to three - soon to be four - gorgeous boys. We are a slightly crunchy; Earth-centred; homebirthing; breastfeeding; cloth-nappying; baby-wearing; cosleeping; homeschooling; natural learning; far-from-perfect family of 5 (nearly 6!). We are attempting to find our own path, one day at a time; and trying to stay (reasonably) sane whilst navigating our way through an endless maze of issues including Autism Spectrum Disorders, Sensory Processing issues, food allergies and intolerances, Autoimmune Disease, and a Balanced Translocation... among other things. So, this is us as we muddle our way through our homeschooling journey - living, loving and learning... together.
