I am Annette, mother of two boys; Gabriel (age 4) and Emmet (age 1).
We are a home-birthing, baby-wearing, co-sleeping, cloth diapering, educated choices and gentle discipline kind of family...and we do everything else loud and with gusto for the most part. We moved to NH in August of 2011 from New York, just a few months before little Emmet joined us so...we're still feeling out the area. We love it here though and it has fulfilled our desires to live the country life and still be near "civilization". I have a background in Education and Theater arts which have yielded a strong appreciation for Waldorf Education.
Special thanks to Zen Parenting for helping to keep parents thinking, questioning and informed, by talking about important issues.
