Hello team A!

Since we don't know everyone, how about a little about ourselves?

I'm Marisa, I'm 25. I will be 26 in March. I have been with my husband 7 years, married 6. We will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary in August. We have 3 boys. Our oldest just turned 6 in early January, his name is Gage. Our middle son just turned 3 this past November, his name is Dane and our youngest who I believe is the youngest of this whole group is Bishop. He was due August 22nd but held out till September 1st.

I have called all 3 boys birthdays without knowing. My first was an "emergency" c-section. My next 2 births were HBACS, vbac's at home. I will only have home births now unless something comes up that I need to go to a hospital.

What else. I have tattoos (a half sleeve on my right arm of where the wild things are, my oldest sons prints on my left arm and a star on my neck) I plan on more when money is there. I have piericings, my ears are stretched to 00 (currently nothing in, thats what they shrink to.) and my lip is done twice, center and right side. I still have those in. I'm laid back, opinionated BUT I am NOT pushy. You do what you do, I do what I do. As long as everyone is loved and care for, that's all that matters. I'm shy and quiet.

I live in Michigan, currently Northern Lower Michigan but grew up outside Detroit. In 3 days we are moving back downstate! I can't explain how happy that makes me haha. It'll be weird since we haven't lived in a city for 5 years but we'll adjust I assume. We have 5 pets, 2 dogs (Choco lab named Gannon. Shih-tzu named Grimm) and 3 cats (Darwin, Pumpkin, Itty Bitty Kitty and Lux). I love reading but haven't had time for it yet.

As a parent I home birth, breast feed (As much as I can, i don't produce enough.) baby wear, co-sleep, cloth diaper, make my own baby food, we selectively vaccinate. However, that's just me. While I believe these things are best for my family I understand not all families work like mine and I don't push my beliefs on anyone. I'll answer questions when someone asks but I'm not going to push them on you.

So that's me, in a bit of a rambly nutshell

I'm not a fan of chocolate and I love to cook also! I just won't right now with all this move stuff.

[Irish_Wristwatch]

you can send me your share of the worlds chocolate then

mmmm chocolate

I dont blame you for not cooking during a move, i wouldnt either, i think we sate takeout for like a week straight when we moved a few years ago

My name is Angela and I have been married to my husband, Michael, so 4 years. It will be 5 years for us in September. We have 3 children. Our first born is Keira, who turned 6 at the end of December. Our middle child is Owen, who is three years old and our August baby is Alivia, who will be 18 months old tomorrow.

Keira is in grade 1, and she's doing amazingly well. She is reading well above average. She loves to read, which is great!

Owen will be starting junior kindergarten in September. It's crazy to even say that!

Alivia is such a sweet and goofy little girl. She LOVES to have fun and loves to make everyone laugh.

As for myself, I am shy and quiet, just like Marisa. I'm getting better though! I'm a SAHM and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I love being able to stay home with them! I don't have a lot of friends where I live, and I would love to change that. I need to start putting myself out there more. I have met a few people from JM (from my Nov'08PR) and one of them lives just a street over from me. We have become great friends! Her daughter is just 3 days younger than my son. We're hoping they get married one day

I was born in Ottawa, Ontario and we moved when I was 12. I love going back there for a visit every now and then. I would gladly make that drive just for some Beavertails and St. Hubert! We live about 1.5 hours from Toronto now. All of my family still lives here and it's nice! I love being so close to them.

I love my quiet time after everyone goes to bed. That is my chance to spend hours on the internet, read and catch up on my DVR'd shows. I sometimes clean too if I feel like it

That's all I can think of at the moment. If any of you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them!

[inyourhonor]

I cooked last night and that's it. We'll get something quick tonight, tomorrow and Friday. When we move Saturday I'm going to have to go grocery shopping.

[Irish_Wristwatch]

Angela we need to do a play date, when the weather gets nice i think all the ontario ladies should go to the zoo or something one weekend

i should add that i am not quiet at all and i curse like a sailor IRL (Jm sensors me )

[laisydaisymama]

y'all are posting WAY too much info in each post lol, that would have been several PAGES!

[Irish_Wristwatch]

bahaha nice thinking

[sunshyne57]

Oh I may be quiet but 80% the words that do come out of my mouth are curse words haha

A playdate would be so much fun!

[inyourhonor]

I'm moving in 3 freaking days!

[laisydaisymama]

im so freaking excited for you! I know how long youve been looking forward to your move

[sunshyne57]

How many hours is it again to your new place?

[inyourhonor]

I think you said it was 5 1/2 to Detroit? I'll be in Wixom, which isn't that far out from Detroit.

[sunshyne57]

Sweet, we will have to plan something when you are all settled!!

On another note, I joined WW two weeks ago (well not really joined, just following. I'm not paying for it, that would just be silly!). So far I'm down 4.5 pounds. Not much, but at least it's something!! I feel so dedicated and motivated right now. I hope it lasts!!

[laisydaisymama]

I am so glad I am never moving again lol.....now I get to FINALLY do what I want to do to this house.

[Irish_Wristwatch]

your 6 hours away from me Marisa
