About me

Introduction	hello! i am kristi. i'm a mama of two lil boys, and the wife to a loving, supportive husband. i like to describe us as a fashion-forward, future-friendly family. with that said here is our family in a nutshell... we clean with (mostly) food-grade products. we try to minimize our "mama" waste by cloth diapering, breastfeeding (my baby, that is), and making our own babyfood. we garden...one day it is our dream to have a completely edible yard. we compost our scraps and have been able to downsize our garbage can considerably in the last year. we use cloth napkins (when eating) and rags (when cleaning) to keep our use of paper goods minimal. we try to avoid plastics without being total social outcasts. :) we loathe partially-hydrogenated oils and corn syrup. we love anything vintage, which makes thrifting, swapping, and garage saling interesting. i once was a visual merchandiser (lead women's stylist to be exact) for a major department store. And now...well, now...my husband and i are natural childbirth educators. (who woulda thunk?) and by the way, i secretly wish i was martha stewart (kinda).
