About

• Jun 4,2006 by Judi

I’m a wife to 1 and mom to 4. We share our small house in Ohio with 4 dogs, Bean - our Whippet, Sky - our Australian Shepherd, Enzo and Ella the Italian Greyhounds as well as our kitty, Maggie, several rats (visit Fuzz Butt Rattery) and fish.

On motherhood:
Momma of 4 and a daughter stillborn at 37 weeks. I’m all for natural births, however, I opt for drugs. I think homebirths are awesome, but I’m more comfortable in the hospital (see Our Birth Stories). We practice gentle, instinctive parenting. However, I’m not against a swat on the butt to grab attention. I’m pro-breastfeeding - even extended, but I’m not anti-formula. We are a co-sleeping family (though the older kids are in their own rooms ), yet I long for my own space in bed.

My trades:
Aside from being a mom, I’m a soapmaker. I am currently only non-profit, making enough soap for family, friends, and ourselves. I love making hot and cold process soap and will always make our own soap or support other soapmakers. Interested in hot process soap making? I make mine using a large crock pot. Here’s my Instructions for Making Crock Pot Handmade Soap.

I’m an EzineArticles.com Expert Author - you will also find my articles on Momma Muse under the category Reprint Articles.

I enjoy:
Playing around on the computer; reading (suspense/mystery/thriller); gardening; house plants; my dogs….

I have many ideas on projects I’d like to do, around the house and just being crafty… but never enough time or money to get them going.

Other Places I’ll be found:
Here’s a few fun places you will find me - check ‘em out.
Have fun! Leave me a comment!
