May, 2007: We're expecting baby #3 in August, I've redone and renamed "The Do It Yourself Cloth Diapering Handbook" and changed it to "The Cloth Diapering Handbook" with my goal set on getting into mainstream bookstores. I've also created a variety of handouts for educators and business owners to hand out to students and customers. Motherhood Naturally Publications was started to allow my writing and publishing an outlet, and have several more books in the works focusing on natural family living topics. We've begun homeschooling my daughter (in preschool) and I've been blogging away in my personal blog, birth and babies blog (done as a part of my local newspaper), and a homemaking/homesteading blog which is still quite new, but also done for my local newspaper.
