About Me

Independent contractor/freelancer who can typically be found entrenched at home fighting the good war against the gimmes and the I-don't-wannas. I blog recklessly, as all mothers of children under the age of seven should, and have finally given up on that, "supposed" great American novel. Instead I allow myself to be very much distracted by urban homesteading, politics, "crafts", depression survival and graphic design. With time leftover for plenty of humor!
