Introduction

I confess it odd to find myself writing a blog. It isn't something that ever blinked on my radar, to be truthful. I think it never ocurred to me that someone would care about what I have to say.

I realize now that I was quite wrong. You see....it has come to my attention that I truly care about things that I have to say; therefore it is possible that someone else may as well. Not only that, I truly [and modestly] believe that much of what I think, the thoughts that don't seem to fit in my head, could benefit others or at least provoke deep thoughts and discussions.

I should warn you...

you've stumbled into the blog of a feminist, stay-at-home mother who has just learned to quilt. Lucky you! LOL

Seriously, I'm often asked how I can reconcile the label of 'feminist' with my desire to stay home and raise my family full time. The answer usually gives one pause to stop and think because it is so simple, so profound that really, when you think of it, it's not that hard to understand.

To me feminism is about equality, respect and choice. At this point in my life I choose to stay home. Enough said.

Lately, I've had experiences and thoughts that feel important. I've had an overwhelming feeling to do something about it already. So, to that end I want to share some of my thoughts and celebrate the strengths and power of women.
