My husband is my soul mate. We have 4 awesome children (ages 21, 18, 16 and 12)–are there any other kind of children? We are an USAF military family trekking all over the world and practicing attachment parenting and everything that comes with it!  LOL! In my life before children, I was a lab tech and a science teacher. My children have taught me that there are more important things in life than that all elusive career we should have….like smelling the roses. I believe that women can be empowered in their pregnancies, births and breastfeeding..when they are not being dictated to by western society and the medical community of how it should be done because, of course, our bodies are clueless of a process that has gone on for over many a millennium. Today, besides loving my “job” as wife and mother…helping to raise our children to be responsible and caring citizens of this word (use this next time someone asks you “what do you do?”), I also help moms with breastfeeding, blog, write for a parenting magazine and run a business. Enjoying the journey.
