Who Is NatureMom?
You will find me most days at home with a good book or behind a sewing machine. I am also usually arranging an art project for my kids, who are all budding artists. When I am not doing that I may be in the kitchen whipping up a delicious raw vegan meal.
I love Squidoo and I love meeting other lensmasters. My lenses, at present, usually center around green and natural family values, attached parenting, and other various other interests. Stop by and chat with me for a bit!
