Who am I? What a loaded question! Which categories would I like to use to help you fit me into your schema for how the world works? I’ll try, just keep in mind I won’t fit into each box perfectly, so hopefully there will still be surprises to come!
I am a 28-year-old mother of three living in the Greater New Orleans area. (It’s true, we are unashamed West-Bankers.) I have a four-year-old daughter, Lucy, a feisty two-year-old, Samantah, and a new baby, Clare. No pets at the moment, unless you count the neighbor’s cats who spend almost as much time in our yard as their own.
I currently stay home with the girls – we’re in the beginning stages of unschooling – and my husband teaches religion and physics at a Catholic boy’s school. (Our parents et alia comment, “So that’s what you do with a Tulane degree?) Craig and I did, in fact, meet at the Tulane Catholic Center. I graduated with a BA in Classics and Latin, he with a BS in Computer Science and Jewish Studies. He is just finished his Master’s in Theology.
What else would you like to know? I like to read, sew (quilts, cross stitch, and mending of all sorts), garden (although I’m better at the planting than the upkeep), and cook.
We are Catholic and plan to homeschool. We get together with friends for theological discussions. We use cloth diapers and wear our babys. I breastfeed, we do NFP and Bradley-esque births, and are on the fence about vaccinations.
We refuse to be tied down politically. No major party here stands up for the values we hold most important, so we choose not to stand up for any major political party.
Anything I forgot, you’ll have to figure out for yourself along the way. Thank you for taking the time to read my self-classificaitons!
