I live in southern California with my very tall husband and four kids who are still shorter than I am. Baby number five (!) is due this summer. The older kids are homeschooled, the younger ones are just home. (And yes, they were all born at home. Cloth diapered. Worn in slings. All that jazz. I know you were wondering.) They move fast, but I’m young and have stamina. And caffeine.

I write and blog about daily life with this larger-than-average family, wherein I am mostly making things up as I go along.


And hey, are you on Twitter? Me too! I’m @makingthingsup.

I also happen to hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego, with minors in History, Literature, and Women’s Studies. (I know you were wondering about that, too.)
