Me
I am a 20 year old wife and mother living in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am polyamourous. Love is love, you can't help who you fall in love with. I am a stay at home mom, and that's where I want to be. Later on, I might get another job, but as far as now goes; being a SAHM is cheaper than daycare. I am agnostic, while my husband is Christian. I don't "hate" any religion, as long as it's not pushed on me. I also swear like a sailor.

My family
My husband is a tire technician at a bulk supplies store. He's 21, from California and loves to fish. I'm starting to find myself liking it, too.
My boyfriend is wonderful. That's all there is to know.
My eldest son, Shia, turned 1 July 4th, and he keeps us all busy. He's independent for the most part, loves to read his touch and feel books, loves to play with his plastic turtles, and LOVES Chicka on the Sprout Channel.
My youngest is Logan, he's a little bugger, but he's as happy as can be.

My Parenting Style
I'm very open when it comes to parenting. I realize everyone has their differences in the subject. I will NOT push my pro-formula, pro-disposable diapers on you if you don't push your views on me.
I am pro-formula AND pro-breastfeeding. Do what you gotta do to feed your kid.
I'd babywear if I could find the right sling for me, we've been doing it for thousands of years, why not now?
I co-sleep with my 13 month old 40% of the time, we're still getting him used to his spiffy toddler bed. And we plan on co-sleeping with our little one for a short period of time.
In my eyes, spanking is not a taboo thing. Beating a child on the other hand, is just absolutely unacceptable. As long as the parent does it not out of anger and just hard enough to get the kids attention, I have no problem with it.
Also, I am a firm believer in baby-leashes. If your child is a runner in public, and there is no way that they can stay in the cart/stroller. Put the damn thing on them. It's not treating them like a dog, it's giving them freedom and you some peace of mind.

If there is anything else you'd like to know, don't be afraid to ask.
