I'm mommy of 4 precious angels and wife of one very unique man. I have OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder, PreDiabetes, and other physical complications, and my husband is BP and a recovering addict. My children are all ADHD, 2 are LD, the oldest was a preemie, the 2nd is product of rape, and the 3rd has Cornelia de Lange Syndrome and Hypotonia. I'm a homeschooling SAHM, Writer, Artist, and part-time Model. I own a green decorating company, Recycled Interiors, and co-own Punk Posies, an eco-friendly craft business, with my kids. We're a unique family of artists, yogis, bookworms and activists. We're proud of our differences...the chosen ones and the ones God bestowed on us! We face many challenges, but we know that God will get us through them all! , The best way to describe me is hippie meets soccer mom. I'm an activist and volunteer, and I'm very serious about it! I'm also a mom, and it's what drives me to care so much about my causes. I want a world full of joy for my children, and I don't want it to be hard for them to have it...so, I fight! I fight daily, and I fight hard, to make this world better...FOR THE CHILDREN! I'm very open-minded and understanding, and I teach and live by the causes that I fight for. I encourage betterment in my children. I believe in tolerance, equality, peace, and GOD. I teach my children not to judge a person by their race, religion, or wealth (or lack thereof), but instead, by behaviors. Those with bad behaviors need careful guidance, and those with good behaviors make wonderful friends! ;) I'm a parent, after all...I want my kids to hang out with the good kids! lol I'm also an ambassador for environmental/animal rights and an advocate for breastfeeding and children with special needs. I spend those precious few hours that I'm alone (LOL) honing my skills as a writer/artist, doing yoga, playing tennis, hiking, and my latest craze, hooping. I'm a very eclectic individual and very proud of it. It's given me the ability to raise well-mannered, grounded, open-minded, and moral children. What more could a mother ask for? :)

My daughter has Cornelia de Lange syndrome accompanied by Hypotonia.
I've had OCD since I was a child. Some things improved over time, others are a daily struggle.
I am the mother of 4, all of which have ADHD.
I suffer from Major Depression and OCD. I thought I had a handle on it, until today. I just realized how negative my thoughts are lately. I need help stabilizing my depression...again.
I'm attempting to get as close to my old lifestyle of vegetarianism as possible, so I can feel healthy again.
I'm not yet (and hopefully won't ever be) fully diabetic. I'm PreDiabetic and trying to prevent it from getting worse.
