About me

I am a 29 year old, wife, & mother of four wonderful children (8,7,2,1) . My family lives in Connecticut, in a small town, a welcoming, quaint, all-American town, where everyone knows everyone, families have lots of children, and hundreds of elementary aged children can be seen practicing soccer on the open fields by the town center on Fridays. I like to think everyone here tries to slowen the pace of life a little, and the rolling greens, antique houses, town fairs, and church bells all help a little bit. We moved to Connecticut from the West Coast, a handful of years ago, for me to complete my graduate education (I studied law at Yale), and we fell in love with the area, minus the long cold, but snowy and aestetichally beautiful winters. I am blessed to be able to stay home, to make sure we are all eating healthy, to see that the children are being raised the way my husband and I want them to be, to ground our  family in traditions of routine, food, and celebration, – in memories of a happy, safe, & comfortable family life. And, I thank a little maturity, and time, for giving me the resolve and patience to take on this role, for it was very difficult for me in the beginning.

I enjoy, tremendously, grounding the children, and our family, in things that make our home particularly ours, and their childhood particularly theirs. We make playdoughs, build halloween costumes, sew Christmas pajamas, make apple pies, and pick and can fruits and vegetables in the summer. I think school is much too long, and that the children learn far too little of the fundamentals they should be learning. About the names of Columbus’ ships as opposed to the names of the countries; the foods Native Americans grew as opposed to the history of our world; minutae they will forget rather than the fundamentals they will need to know and remember. I continously offer to homeschool the children, but we started them in school, and they currently wish to stay, but this may change. I supplement their schooling, with reading, geography, and music lessons. Sometimes life can be hectic, but we are all forgiving of slowing down a little, missing a day here or there, or missing a lesson for this or that. And, I think this is just fine in this life, and time, of go go go, with little or no time to stop, to understand and feel life, – to have breakfast, put on puppet shows, and read and talk together in front of a fire.
