Occupation writer, mom
Location northwest Georgia, United States
Introduction I'm a living-working-breathing mom, writing, mothering, teaching, and soul-searching from our home in northwest Georgia. We are whole-life unschoolers, which basically means our kids actually have a say in what happens to them (it actually means infinitely more than that, but's it's a starting point for discussion). We are also hardcore environmentalists, anti-industrialists, trying to escape from our dependence on petroleum, manufactured products and other non-sustainable practices. We homebirth, homeschool, and homestead, and try to make sense of it all, in a constant whirlwind of chaos.

If mud is dirt plus water, what is clay?

"a firm, fine-grained earth, plastic when wet, composed chiefly of hydrous aluminum silicate minerals" (straight from Webster's, baby!).
