Slugs On The Refrigerator

I am American, and I am now living in Scotland. I am currently in Stirling.

About me

I am Kat, 30 year old mama to one spirited small boy, named Ellis.  We live with 2 cats, one goldfish, a couple of slugs and a dada named Kevin in Stirling, Scotland.

Parenthood has been the best thing I have ever done, and the hardest.  I guess I thought I would have one of those quiet, sleep through the night types.  What I got was SOOOO much better and very unexpected.  Ellis is the craziest, most wonderful person I know.  From the moment he was born 4 weeks early, he has challenged us to be:
-more understanding of his sensitive nature
-more patient with his very short fuse
-more able to live on less sleep than I ever thought humanly possible
-more willing to try and see and do than my introverted nature thought possible
-more able to dust off the opinions of others who judge this clever, high-need, spirited, busy small person

I write the blog because I felt so alone parenting a high need baby and to be the glimmer of light in my mother’s day (she checks the blog from Iowa every morning!).  Oh and to keep a record of the journey. I also enjoy making lists and electronic list making really is practically nirvana for this virgo!

When I am not blogging, I can be found:
-crafting away, but never finishing anything
-obsessively reading other blogs so I can compare myself to them and get ideas for other projects to start and never finish
-working in the environmental sector 2.5 days a week
-studying to be a doula and an antenatal teacher

My birthday is on 19 September, I was born in 1978

Interests

crafting, creativity, green living, humour, natural parenting, simple living
