In my previous life I majored in English, went to law school, & was a lawyer who represented children who had been abused &/or neglected; most of my clients were in foster care.

Now, I'm a stay-at-home mom to 3 sons, born in October 2007, October 2009, and December 2012. I'm a proud breastfeeding, cloth diapering mommy.

I love sewing & making children's items for my son, as gifts, and for swaps, but I don't craft as much as I used to (sadly). Most of my spare time is spent blogging now!

I love to sew, especially children's items. I also dabble in crochet & embroidery, but just a teeny bit.

Doctor Who, Dexter, West Wing, How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Weeds, Big Bang Theory, Lost

Slurpees... especially Coke ones, but I like orange, grape, or lemon-lime flavored ones too.

Converse, especially All-Stars.

Serial killers & true crime. I know, it's weird. I'm trying to tone it down now with a baby in the house (hmm.. I wonder if me watching all the Dexter dvds while I breastfed him psychologically scarred him for life???)

Dr. Seuss

Empire Records, Death to Smoochy, Rounders, Good Will Hunting, Six Degrees of Separation, Chasing Amy, Dogma. Pretty much anything with Matt Damon or Ed Norton.

They Might Be Giants, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Beastie Boys, Eminem, The Cure, Violent Femmes, The Tossers.

Oh, it's been so long since I've had time to read.. I love love love Oh, The Places You'll Go and pretty much any Dr. Seuss book. I love Oliver Sacks & Stephen King books & true crime books.

I love:

** I'd love to receive a whimsy jar (never seen one in real life!), but I'm not into papercrafting or anything so I'd love a sewing whimsy jar or something like that! :)

• handmade soap (preferably no patchouli scent!)

• the color orange

• anything Dr. Seuss related or sort of Seussish

• handmade items (upcycled items too!)

• recipes, especially for the crock pot, for smoothies, or for kid-friendly food

• bento boxes or bento accessories

• fabric - anything interesting, especially modern or children's prints. Scraps are fine too.

• interesting or unusual reusable shopping bags or totes

• reusable sandwich wraps or snack pouches

• cool website links

• fun lunch/food items - squiggly straws, fun shaped sandwich cutters, popsicle molds, cookie cutters, etc.

• felt food

• candy/food - I love red licorice (Red Vines or Twizzlers), Mike & Ike's, caramel, & most candy that isn't sour or tropical flavors. I love anything salty! I love soup mixes (not veggie). I try to avoid artificial sweeteners (anything "diet") while I'm pregnant & nursing. Chocolate is good, but I don't like dark or white chocolate.

• Pampers "Gifts to Grow" point codes

I dislike:

• the smell of patchouli, vanilla, & cigarette smoke!

• I don't wear jewelery, except sometimes ankle bracelets in the summer.

• I also don't wear makeup.

• I've got tons of bath/body products that I never have time to use, so I don't need any of those.

• I have tons of pin cushions & nowhere to put them! They're cute, but please don't send me more!

• No FBs please!

Ask me & I can sent you:

• handcrafted items (sewn mostly, but I can do some crochet & embroidery)

• kids meal toys (McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, etc.) - we usually have a large stash of them

• bath items - I'm drowning in bath stuff & I never have time to use any of it
