My, how things change in a year.

I'm 23 years old, SAHM to two amazing spitfire girls. Adrianna is 3, she's the Mouth of the house. Naomi is 17 months old and is spirited and strong-willed as can be. She's my TorNomi.

Married to my husband J, whom I love and cherish dearly. J is a US Marine and I am proud of his service and our time in the military.

I am Christian. The Lord is my savior and I put my entire faith in His ultimate plan.

I'm a natural birth, home birth advocate. Both of my children were born in the absence of medical intervention and the next child will be born peacefully and *hopefully* painlessly in our own home. Birth is inherently safe. Our intervention and intrusion in the birth process is what causes complications in most cases.

My 17 month old is still breastfed on demand. I believe it is a child's birthright to receive mother's milk and refuse to use artifical milks to nourish my children. While breastfeeding hasn't always been easy, it is a worthy sacrifice for my little one.

I believe in cosleeping and gentle parenting. My goal is to nurture my children to independence instead of trying to force them into it prematurely.

I am in intactivist with no sons. Haha. I believe genital integrity is a fundamental human right, regardless of gender.

And there's about a million other intricacies to my life. God bless!
