About Us

Welcome to Tales of Young Ethan! I'm a 20-something United Methodist minister and mom, navigating the winding road of motherhood as I tend my growing homestead and my congregation. My son, Ethan, was born on September 13, 2010, and little brother/sister is due this August!

I'm definitely somewhere on the spectrum of attachment parenting, leaning more towards AP-lite. We breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, etc. and you'll read all about it on the blog. I'm also on the crunchy side, so you'll hear about our adventures in homemade organic baby foods and holistic remedies, as well as our foray into gardening and backyard chickens and goats!

These are just the parenting decisions that have made sense for us, and I'd love to tell you why and how, so if you're interested in learning more, following Ethan's growth, and seeing some ridiculously cute pictures and videos, read on!
