About Me - Amie

I am a Christian, wife to Norm and mother to four: Glen (5), Tasha (3), Jamie, and baby Lorelai. It was an honor to be asked to work with Corrrine and the other ladies in the Pinkpeas family. Pinkpeas is just the right home for some of my many interests. We are a homebirthing/waterbirthing family. I am a La Leche League Leader. I started and continue to run Vegaroos, the only babywearing group in Las Vegas. I am interested in natural family planning (NFP) and am working on becoming an NFP instructor. I am a fan of The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and would like to someday become a Bradley teacher. I love to bake bread and experiment with new recipes and variations, with my friends and family as willing taste testers. Currently more than half my family is gluten-freee. I also like to crochet and sew. We use cloth diapers (but not pins!) - a mix of prefolds/covers and all-in-ones (AIOs). Two things I am not is a midwife or a doula. I love being a Centering Pregnancy group facilitator. I am an occasional part-time editorial consultant (at home) in the academic world. Lastly, educationally speaking, I studied a year of high school in France and have a B.A. in sociology (UNLV 2003), but continue to self-educate wherever possible. I have an extreme love of books and reading. There's a lot more about me not included, but you'll find some clues in the categories for this "About Me" post. Details may be forthcoming in future posts...
