About Me

So you want to know who I am, huh? Well, my name is Erin. I live in a small town in northern Oklahoma. As a kid, I hated it. HAAAATED it. Now, I couldn't think of a better place to live, and to raise a family.

I married my wonderful husband Jason on June 1, 2007. We had been together for 6 years to the day. He is my world, my rock, my everything. I am so in love.

Gracie is my oldest daughter. She is so freaking cool. She's my phoenix; she pretty much literally saved my life. I realized when I had her that my life had just been a series of moments building up to the event of her birth. I was never complete until she was born and I became a mother. She has taught me more about myself in the 5 years she's been alive than I learned in the 21 years I had prior to her.

Kairi is the newest edition to the family. She's a bit of a wild thing, which is awesome. She's tough but sweet and is turning out to be everything I'd expect in a second child and more. Since having her, I have become more aware of a lot of the, I guess, mommy-politics: things like the boycott against Nestle and issues dealing with breastfeeding and natural parenting. I am becoming less tolerant of the intolerant and morally bankrupt. 

I hope that my personality will convey itself in my writing, but if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment here or email me at babybeatnik at gmail dot com.
