| Bio: | ![]() by pixiegrl_11 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() by autumn_mist@starliciousx ![]() by secodover@Faded_Design ![]() "Though Nothing Can Bring Back the Hour of Splendor in the Grass, of Glory in the Flower, I Will Grieve Not, Rather Find Strengh in What Remains Behind." ~Longfellow My Journal Is Friends Only: My name is Kimberly Anne and I'm 41 years old and married to Wayne (who is 14 years my senior), and I'm a WAHM (Work at Home Mom) of 2 children, Jonathan (11 1/2 years old) and Abigayle (6 1/2 years old). Before the birth of my daughter, I was an administrative assistant in human resources. I am passionate about mothering, breastfeeding, gentle parenting, scrapbooking, etc. and these are the topics that I usually write about. I went to college for 3 years full time and then took night courses for a few more years, but I have not yet completed a degree. My first major was Early Childhood Education and then I switched to Art History after I student taught in the projects in the city where Wayne grew up. It was a shocking and nightmare provoking environment to the sheltered middle class teenager that I was all those years ago. I'm a La Leche League Leader http://www.llli.org// in my local group and my children were breastfed until they weaned naturally. I have been a member of the area MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) http://www.mops.org/ for 4 years and I'm so grateful for all that this group has provided for me and my daughter. I just recently started attending Familia at our Catholic church. http://familiausa.net/ I joined the PTA at Abbie's school this past year and I volunteered at a few family events. I adore my children and they are my life. I've finally found a craft that I enjoy and excel at: scrapbooking, and I love it. Wayne and I practice our own interpretation of Attachment Parenting and try to always follow our hearts and our instincts. We fall somewhere between alternative and mainstream, as far as our parenting belief system goes. We are a Christian family: Wayne and the children are Catholic and I'm Protestant. ![]() ![]() by xclara_bowx@faded_design ![]() ![]() by lotrangel17@Enchanted_Realm ![]() ![]() by lotrangel17@Blinkie_Dreams ![]() "It's okay to be kind to our children. It's okay to give them a feeling of abundance. Knowing that their own needs and wants are valued will only make them want to help others to meet their needs and wants too. Kindness begets kindness." - Rue Kream, Parenting a Free Child ![]() By xclara_bowx @ Faded_Design ![]() by dreamingbelle13@Blinkie_Dreams </a>I Boycott Nestle.

![]() ![]() by lotrangel@Blinkie_Dreams ![]() ![]() "Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." - Fred Rogers ![]() ![]() by rainbowatdawn@faded_design ![]() by rally_tessie@Faded_Design "It is usually assumed that children who aren't made to obey their parents will grow to be unruly, disrespectful, and 'out of control'. Nothing could be further from the truth. Children who are treated with respect are respectful of others. Children who are listened to as equals listen to others as equals. Children whose opinions are valued value others' opinions. A family where parents and children are allies is a peaceful family." - Rue Kream, Parenting A Free Child ![]() by rainbowatdawn@faded_design "Take the hand of your child and invite her to go out and sit with you on the grass. The two of you may want to contemplate the green grass, the little flowers that grow among the grasses, and the sky. Breathing and smiling together-that is peace education. If we know how to appreciate these beautiful things, we will not have to search for anything else. Peace is available in every moment, in every breath, in every step."

I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongue." ~ Dr. Seuss ![]() This is the first book that was read to me about the environment when I was just a child. ![]() by lotrangel at Enchanted Realm Make your own Blinkie Make your own Blinkie Make your own Blinkie | |||||
