If you know me, you know that I often confuse my words. I have inherited this from my mother. My Dad often asks my Mom if she has her green card yet because of how often she gets common phrases wrong. This phenomenon did not happen to me until I reached adulthood. Since I have gotten married and become a mother it has only gotten worse. So, when my husband saw my Facebook post he asked "what did you mean to say?" When I told him I actually meant to say "crunchy," he looked very puzzled. I explained to him what crunchy meant....
Here is urbandictionary.com's definition of crunchy mama
Mother who supports homebirth, breastfeeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, gentle discipline, etc. One who questions established medical authority; tends to be vegetarian and/or prepare all-organic foods. See crunchy and hippie.
That crunchy mama is breastfeeding in public again!

I am by no means a die hard crunchy mama. I just want to make the most informed, educated decisions for my children. I want to do what I feel is best for them. Isn't that our job as moms?
I know what you are thinking... I'm a tree hugging liberal. (Yes, I do have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in theatrical design, technology, and stage management, with a concentration is technical direction) But I think most of my friends would describe me as a "Conservative Christian." And that is fine with me.
Even though my daughter is almost two, I have just recently had the opportunity to become a stay at home mom. My husband stayed home with her until now. It was not our plan for him to stay home while I worked after she was born, but we all know what God thinks about our plans. This is a story of my journey to figure out this whole "stay at home mom" thing.

ReplyDeleteYou are definitely a crunchy mom. Thanks so much for telling all these people that I get common phrases mixed up. It somehow tickles my heart knowing you have acquired this same disability. You have teased me, along with you father, about it for so many years. Not that I wish this upon you, but you do know that "what goes around - comes around", or is it "what comes around - goes around"? Oh well, you figure it out. mom
