I am here for Friends

About Me

I suppose I had better update this section since so much has happened recently. I have been married for over 6 years to my best friend and we have 3 beautiful children. Elijah is 6 and in the 1st grade (Although with his brains he would most likely do well in the third grade)!! Emma Grace is FOUR!! and she is an absolutely gorgeous, loving and compassionate child. Julian Marcus LaFond Born at home April 26th 2007 weighing 8lbs. 4oz. is our little gift, born in such a peaceful way. I can say that my whole being revolves around my family first. Last October we made a huge move across the country, from Missoula MT (the last best place) to the (2nd to the last best place). I'll never live anywhere that doesn't have mountains. I'm a stay-at-home Mom (Which in my opinion is the best and most rewarding job you can have...and I am so appreciative to my husband for working so hard so I CAN stay at home with our kids.) I am also aspiring to become a doula and a lactation consultant when Julian is a bit bigger as well as opening up my own business in hopefully 5 years...THAT'S THE GOAL. (ask, I'll explain). My husband recently started up his own roofing business, (Even though he graduated with honors with a Forestry Degree.)and I have been helping him with that, sort of playing his advisor. I love taking long road trips with my family, even though I get the worst motion sickness of anybody i've ever met. I'm currently "trying" to teach myself to sew. (first attempt was laughable)I am extremely passionate about raising my children with a respect for all things living and an unconditional love for humanity. I believe that EVERY child (even the unborn) is a gift from God and should be treated accordingly.

My Interests

My kids and husband are the most important. I am very passionate about pregnancy, parenting, the birth process, doulas, midwives, home birth, breastfeeding, child development, children in general, pretty much anything baby and mommy oriented. I love watching surgeries on TV, I love trying new foods. Ethnic foods, vegetables, cooking, cloth diapers, natural foods, the Food network, learning new things, myspace, and sharing my brain with my husband because he has too much to keep track of on his own.

I'd like to meet:

It would be cool to meet Bono or Bonnie Raitt..but I really just want to meet other Moms who share similar interests. Those who are responsible for making Heartland Granola and Honest Tea. (Because these are a few of my favorite things. :) )

Music:

In no particular order.... David Gray, Applefeet, Storyhill, Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, Aqualung, U2, Ben Harper, Counting Crows, Janis Joplin, Susan Tedeschi, Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Cat Stevens, Elliott Smith, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Dave Matthews, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Warren Haynes, Bob Marley, Norah Jones, Gary Jules, Radiohead, Steely Dan, Etta James, Loggins and Messina, James Taylor, Sunny Day Real Estate, Drive-by-truckers are good, Aaron Espe, Cold Play, etc Mostly just that of which involves a beautiful voice, an acoustic guitar, and a positive feeling.

Movies:

Love Actually, The Story of Us, The Princess Bride, The Benneker Gang, The Labrynth, The Breakfast Club...THE MIGHTY Honestly though, it's hard for me to stay awake through movies.

Television:

Nearly anything on TLC or the discovery channel (like Man vs. Wild), American Idol, well, I'm actually just a sucker for those reality shows like American inventor and America's got talent. (not a fan of the bachelor and junk like that, though.) Definitely LOVE the Food Network...

Books:

I read alot to my kids, although lately my son reads to me more often.... I love Dr. seuss, grew up on C.S. Lewis and Tolkien,...I love books about pregnancy and birth (I can never read too many birth stories) and chicken soup for the soul. Cook books and cooking magazines. What I research on the internet. I just started reading :Birthing From Within

Heroes:

My Parents, my husband, my children, my sister...but probably mostly my husband...He's my rock. :)

Pleasantly Plump?

My midwife called me "plump" at my last appointment.  Yeah, generally that would be an UNBELIEVABLY bad thing to say to a postpartum woman, but she meant it in the nicest way possible.  I wa...
