~ I was born and raised in the Buckeye City...GO BUCKS!
~ I moved to Colorado in 2005, the Denver area to be exact
~ I came back to Ohio because my husband wanted to be near family
~ I'm an Ohio Momma, with a Colorado heart, I miss it there SO much





~ My world revoloves around them!
~ and our newest addition, Dakota






~ I had my first baby at 15 and have VERY! strong opinions regarding teen pregnancy.
~ I'm pro-breastfeeding, but I don't force my opinion on anyone else, breastfeed/bottle feed I really don't care as long as you're feeding your child. My only thing is, I think there is a certain age that a child should no longer breastfeed.
~ I'm pro co-sleeping, all my kids (if not in my bed) were in my room until here recently, and they are welcome at any point.
~ I don't like the CIO method, I see the pros, but it's just not for me
~ I'm trying to raise well adjusted people, my motto is "I'm raising adults, not kids"


~ I've been with my husband for over 9 years now
~ That's a HUGE accomplishment if you ask me
~ We got together when I was 14 and he was 15
~ Everyone said we'd never make it, but so far....they're WRONG!
~ We got married April 22, 2006 and are loving every minute of it

~ My husband, Joe, and our son Benjamin (born in 2004)



~ Cheyanne is my oldest, born in 2000, and Amelia is my "middle" child, born in 2002
