About
- The Psycho Mama
- I'm a mom. I'm a wife. I had a lot of interests before having a baby, but now it seems my life revolves around being spat up on. This blog is about my attempts to rejoin the human race, baby boy in tow. Before becoming a human milk dispenser, I enjoyed yoga, cooking, eco home making, running, taking photos, writing, literature, hiking and playing guitar. I am an amateur at all of the above, as well as at life in general.
