So I guess I've officially started a blog.

Hey, I'm Ashley.  I live in the St Louis area with my husband (Jason) of 3 1/2 years, stepdaughters (Alyssia 18, Julia 10), son (James 22 months), 3 dogs (Goldie, Chi Chi, and Daisy), and 3 rats (Glinda, Elphie, and Nessa).  I'm a crunchy Christian vegan intactivist (in case you haven't put that together) who loves to learn about and try out new things.  I also like sharing what I learn with others!  I keep getting crunchier and crunchier.  I like making a lot of my own products and living as naturally as possible.  I hope this blog will be educational, inspirational, or at least fun for those who read it!
