About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Location Portland, Oregon, United States
Introduction I am an adoptee. I am into children's rights. I homebirth, breastfeed, wear my babies, and enjoy the family bed. I lost both of my parents to cancer (my mom died when I was 13, my dad when I was 29) and have no siblings (well, besides the 7 different step-siblings and one half birth brother). I try my best to practice compassionate communication and mindful parenting. I am married to my best friend. I'm a champagne drinker, and a domestic goddess who cannot really cook. I suffer from depression but I really like being happy and joyous and silly.
