About me:
I'm graduate student living in New Haven with my husband and 15mo daughter. We have a natural/organic/attachment parenting style, we're still nursing and occasionally co-sleeping. I'm not a SAHM, so I've felt out of place in most mom groups.
My interests:
Pre-baby I was really into travel, hiking, yoga, lazy afternoon drives to the countryside. I like to make homemade yummy toddler meals and freeze them in little portions, shop at natural food stores, farmer's markets, and Trader Joes, and watch Project Runway.
How I de-stress:
My favorite weird Mom thing to do is put the baby down to sleep around 7PM and then rush to make it to Trader Joe's by 8 so I can get my shopping in by 9. No traffic and no baby while shopping, whew!
Best advice I've gotten:
Two things: "Let DH do one-way of daycare drop-off" and "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good."
Adjective to describe me:
Outgoing
My favorite book:
Written on the Body
My favorite movie:
??I haven't seen a movie in 2 years!

  • Oh, PS, I lived in New Haven, CT, for two years (Pendleton St). In fact, my husband and I were married by a JP at New Haven's city hall, so I guess we'll always have an important link there. Also, we so miss the pizza!!

  • Hey relaxnsmile. Let me second Nataly's comment - love the screen name. What a positive person you are!

    I noticed your comment about getting back into the yoga. Oh brother. My baby is 14 mo and it's so hard to find the time...

    Anyway, welcome to Work it, Mom! This is a wonderful place to make friends!
