I found this on someone else’s blog and thought I would do it myself:
- I was born in Quebec (Drummondville).
- I spent most of my life in Alberta.
- I hate Edmonton.
- I wish I lived in a small house on a small plot of land and had a large garden with apple trees, raspberry bushes and strawberry patches.
- I love being a mama.
- I have two boys and one daughter.
- I recycle.
- I am vegetarian. I want to be vegan but I can’t give up the cheese and butter.
- I think plastic will be the end of us all and I am trying to replace ALL of my plastic stuff.
- I was married at 19.
- This year we’ll celebrate our sixth year anniversary.
- That will also mark six years together.
- We had known each other for seven weeks when we got married.
- He is the best husband I could ask for and I am more in love with him every day.
- I have always wanted kids.
- It has always been my ambition to raise my own kids.
- My mom was a stay-at-home mom.
- I have always known that I would home school.
- We are unschoolers.
- I don’t use products in my hair. Well, maybe three times a year.
- I use only natural products.
- I don’t believe in Global Warming but I still care deeply about the environment.
- I have one tattoo and I hate it.
- I love breastfeeding.
- I breastfed all three of my kids.
- I was not breastfed.
- We co-sleep with our baby.
- We never let our baby “cry it out.
- We both wear our baby in the sling.
- I feel sorry for the kids who have to cry all alone in their cribs.
- I am very sensitive to artificial scents.
- I hate it when someone smokes close to me or my kids
- I hate wearing socks and shoes…even in the winter.
- My first birth was a hospital birth.
- I hated it.
- My second was a home water birth.
- I loved it.
- My third was a waterbirth in a midwife operated birth centre.
- I loved it even more.
- I loved birthing in water.
- We don’t take our kids or ourselves to the Doc for no reason.
- I throw away their prescriptions. I use their diagnoses and then find a home remedy for the problem.
- We don’t vaccinate.
- I love to cook.
- I like bland food. I think of it as actually tasting the food instead adulterating it too much with salt and seasonings.
- I make most of our food “from scratch.”
- I don’t like eating white flour or processed food.
- OK, that’s not true. I love crap food but I feel guilty if I eat it.
- I bake bread every few days. It’s half whole what, half whole grain.
- I am trying to lose weight
- I love to sew.
- So does my husband.
- We rarely use patterns (too cheap to spend money on paper).
- Sometimes I tear old clothes apart to use them as patterns.
- I love taking pictures
- I go to bed way too late every night but I blame my hubby for that.
- I like scrapbooking. I think that that is probably my only “normal” hobby.
- I love drawing. I use charcoal, conte, soft pastel and oil pastel.
- I want to learn to paint with oils.
- I let my kids watch way too many movies.
- I love fruit. I would eat just fruit if I could.
- I can’t get enough of Chocolate Silk.
- I try to fill my kid’s playroom with natural materials and fibres.
- I am addicted to book. I read, read, read. But I also love buying books, even if I don’t read them.
- I generally dislike most people. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I feel misunderstood.
- I don’t go to church.
- We used to for years but we just don’t buy it anymore. It’s elitist and inconsistent and the people seldom practise what they preach.
- I love the earth but I hate being cold or too hot. So I tend to stay inside too much.
- I like playing sports with my husband.
- I used to live for rock climbing.
- Now I can never get away or find money.
- I hate it when mothers say they HAVE to work. You CHOOSE to work. If I lived in your big ass house and had two SUVs I’d HAVE to work too. I live in a trailer because I CHOOSE to be home with my kids.
- We have fostered dogs in the past but I don’t think we will anymore. They share sicknesses with our dogs, bite our kids and chew their toys.
- We have a cat we rescued. I love him and hate him. I’d like to pass him on to someone but no one wants to take him off our hands.
- I don’t listen to the radio or watch TV.
- I hate commercials.
- I miss really good sushi.
- The avocado sushi I make is only OK.
- I love chocolate. But only dark chocolate. And only the good stuff not the Nestle crap.
- I hate large corporations but I shop at them because I am cheap.
- I hate governments but what can I do?
- I love dancing.
- I love music.
- I love learning.
- I love going out.
- My parents are still together.
- I think midwives are so wonderful.
- It frustrates me when people blow their money on crap and tell me they’re broke.
- It frustrates me that I do the same thing!
- I love authentic ethnic foods.
- I will try almost anything once.
- My husband needs a little convincing but he is trying very hard!
- It bugs me when people structure their kids’ playtimes.
- It bugs me when people don’t let their kids move, touch or climb on things. How else do they get to learn.
- I wish I could keep up with my housecleaning.
- I hate it when people won’t give things away but try to sell everything. How greedy can you get? I donate everything!
- I don’t believe in Karma but I sure hope it’s real.
- I don’t think I am a particularly kind person. I try to be and used to be. I guess the city does that to people.
- I give myself to people easily but I don’t give second chances.
- I suppose that’s why I have so few friends.
