About Me

 I’m Kristen, a.k.a. Semi-crunchy Mama, although there isn’t much “semi” left in my crunchy parenting style. We practice extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping, babywearing, and gentle discipline. I'm enthusiastic about natural birth, homemade babyfood, and environmental awareness/responsibility.

I’m mom to Beanie, born in June 2007, and Bubby, born in March 2010.

I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I wrote tons of shorts stories and started a few novels. As a teen I filled journal after journal with thoughts, poems, and tales. In college I wrote a comprehensive literature review on the anti-depressant effects of exercise. I started this blog in April 2008 as a way to get my thoughts out & network with other moms who could relate to what I was going through.

I blog about attachment parenting, being a mom, and the daily grind. The blog has become a combination of our daily occurrences and a platform for me to write about topics I am passionate about. Recently I’ve started adding recipes since my infant son is intolerant to wheat, dairy, and soy.
