I'm a mother of three, five and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best.

Using cloth diapers, making wipe solution, washing and reusing baggies, homeschooling, hanging laundry [...]
