Kimberly's Page

I'm a thirty-something, iNFp, Leo with Leo rising, liberal, tree-hugger, happily married, stay-at-home, attachment parenting, homeschooling mom. (How's that for labels?) I enjoy reading, needlecrafts, and designing web pages in my (rare) spare time.

Please note: I am neither a housewife nor a homemaker. I am not married to my house, nor do I build them. I am a woman first and foremost. A mother, a lover, a friend, a daughter, a granddaughter, an aunt, a niece, a sister, a cousin, a role model, a teacher, an artist, a healer, a confidant, and a volunteer. Sometimes I feel like a scullery maid, but I repeat, I am not a housewife!

*SAHHM: stay-at-home, homeschooling mom.

The Mote in God's Eye

I finished The Mote in God's Eye a few days ago. It took me over two months to read it, not because it wasn't interesting. It was. But because the pace of the book is really slow. Also, I think a part of it is the fact that it is hard-core science... more

Just a Housewife

Someone commented yesterday on my NaPoWriMo day #8 poem, " Labels ", that it reminded them of this song, so of course I had to go look it up. All I can say is, "Wow!"
