New Name, New Blog, New Post

So, I've been obsessing over the fact that my old blog no longer accurately depicts either my family or myself. Since The Hubby is not a writer, and had no intent of writing on the other blog, I figured it was time to devote one to myself. And my ramblings. And of course, my beautiful little babies.

Here's the backstory on the name of choice:

It was the first thing that sounded good together that wasn't taken?

Nah, I joke. A little.

I am an unlikely rebel. Seriously, if you know me in real life, you'd probably say that I'm not the most rebellious spirit in a room. Depending who I'm with, you might be right. However, ask my mom about my rebellious spirit, and she'd have a story or two for ya. Ask The Hubby too- he'll tell you that I love breaking the rules, but I always have a just cause or reason to.

As a Mama, I want to raise children who question authority, who don't believe adults are perfect, who don't believe everything that I tell them, and continue to have that childlike curiosity well into adulthood. I want to raise children who are tolerant, intelligent in a real way, who love the world, who want to be the change, who will fight against ignorance, and bigotry. I want to teach them love, kindness and respect. I want to raise fire starting, question asking, people loving, rebellious children.



Rebellion in the face of positivity can be a good thing. At least I think so.


This blog will be my journey in breaking down the mainstream barriers of parenting, of marriage, and life in general.  Like the last, it'll be a chronicle of our sometimes mundane, but beautiful journey in this section of our life. Sometimes it'll be a ranty post about parenting issues, or a passion close to my heart. Occasionally, I'll put in a couple fabulous recipes, because let's face it, any good revolutionary needs a delectable cookie from time to time. 


Anyone wanna make me a superhero outfit? ;)

EDITED 04/08/11: The blog name has been changed for good, and while this post is not necessarily applicable regarding the name change, I do love the message. Still rockin'  as a rebel Mama, despite the name change!
