{The Confessions of a Crunchy Housewife™}
Bella is 10 1/2 months Friday. She is completely toothless.
We go on playdates and I see all these kids with chompers – from 2 to almost a full mouth of teeth. They gnaw, bite, draw blood, crack open beer cans… Well, no, that’s going a little too far. But you get the idea.

Turn on your TV. Watch an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. Family Guy (ugh). The Simpsons. Modern Family. According to Jim. Married With Children.

I'm opinionated. Sarcastic. A SAHM. Christian. A proud Army wife. I love to write. I'm crazy about cloth diapers. I struggle with anxiety.

One of my biggest joys in life, Bella, was born 11/09 and we're pregnant with our second - after hesitating about doing it all again.

This? This is my blog. My thoughts, feelings, faith, and life. Uncensored.
Welcome.
