I'm a slightly eccentric, red-headed, natural, craft crazy, feminist leaning, domestically inclined girl. I'm married to a musician with a mean cooking talent. Going to be a first time mother in March, to a boy. Huge transition but hopefully all will be well!

• Update: He is here! Born on a Friday, March 26, 2010 at 12:25 after 10 hours of contractions and just 5 minutes of pushing, and I did it all naturally, definitely hard work but so worth it! His name is Ransom and he is perfect in every way!
