I am Marie: a wife, a first time mother (currently expecting), a woman who struggled through infertility, and a follower of Jesus. I am very "crunchy and granola" and tend to do many things against the “norm” in the United States. I am a firm believer, follower, and advocate for Attachment Parenting, cloth diapering/using organic/chemical free diapers and products, extended breastfeeding/tandem nursing, co-sleeping, homeschooling/unschooling, babywearing, natural birth, water birth, delayed cord clamping, and researching to make fully informed decisions. I am also anti-vax and an intactivist.
