Call me Peach.
It’s what my husband calls me, and so maybe an interesting choice for my Melville moment. This blog is intended to be about my new roles as wife, mother, gardener, deal-finder, etc., and so using my pet name usually reserved for in our home is perfect, I think. I’m other things too, outside of the house: a social work student, ex-marketing professional, once (and still?) philosopher, teacher, and whatever hat the day calls for!
Pip is my little one, due to arrive in this world September 2nd, 2013. He’s still just a little ball of punches inside of me, and already he’s changing the way I think about and experience the world. I hope to use this blog to explore some of these new thoughts and feelings along with some more practical organizing of information found on the web.
My parenting choices are based on wise financial decisions, environmentally friendly options, and time saving ideas because I am a fulltime working student and my husband also works full time. I’ve found it frustrating and exhausting to search through pages and pages of advice on Mommy blogs and forums for every tiny thing the baby will need. This space is to help me compile what I’ve found, and possibly to help out other new parents trying to sort through the consumer driven market to make wise choices.
