Introduction Just another little family blog - set on a ranch in southern BC. Mostly our lives are the same as anyone else's, but some things are very, very different!
Interests Reading, writing, parenting, ecology. My life pretty much revolves around my kids right now. Tawny is 15 years old and giving us a run for our money. The jury is still out but I'm pretty sure that in a few years, she'll actually be human. I'm already beginning to see glimmers! Silas is almost 3. I'm sure he's going to be giving us his fair share soon enough. Oliver was born in July, probably the second worst time in the year for a rancher's wife to have a baby - dead on when haying starts. Pretty much guaranteed I won't see him till ten at night (if i'm lucky!) and he'll be gone again by six at the latest. Over the last few years, I've realized something: I'm in the works of becoming one of those strange "alternative" parents you hear about, or see occasionally (or often depending on where you live!). And this is what this blog is about. This crazy trip I'm taking, on a ranch, with a teenager, a toddler and a newborn-to-be, while starting a new business, surrounded by cows, sheep, dogs and horses. What else could you ask for in life? (answer: a little money would be nice!).
Favorite Movies Right now? August Rush?
Favorite Music Different every day, usually into face paced, fun stuff. You know, the music that makes cleaning the house go quick!
Favorite Books Last Child in the Woods, Diana Gabaldon books, Living Simply with Children, Hold on to Your Kids.

How do you pronounce the 'g' in bologna?

You don't (unless you're my dad, then you say ba-loag-na)
