Meet Meredith

I can easily be defined by my green-living, home-cooking, natural cleaning, former soccer playing - now fervent soccer watcher, cloth diapering, outdoor loving, adoption advocating, Lupus and Graves disease fighter, book-reading, pro-life believing, religious thinking, lover of life ways.

But I'd rather be identified by my relationships: devoted friend, faithful family member, mama to Gabe, wife to Matt and daughter of the King.

I'm Meredith and my husband and I have been married for almost 4 years. We have a wonderful baby boy, Gabriel, who's adoption is almost finalized and official, although there's no way he could be more officially ours. He's the joy of our lives and the second biggest giver of unconditional love I've ever encountered. My husband and I were unable to concieve naturally and began a journey of adoption. This journey was not easy but is anything worthwhile ever easy? And although it wasn't easy it opened my eyes and heart to many different things, one of which is the almost 200 million orphans in the world, some of which we're hoping to add to our family through more adoptions. Adoption has also caused me to rely on other people, and furthered my relationship with many - especially the 3 other lovely ladies authoring this blog.

I am so excited to be joining 3 of my favorites in this adventure we call life; hoping the path we're taking will not only bring our relationships closer but aslo help us all to live a greener, more natural life while saving a little money along the way.

I hope you'll enjoy reading of our exploits and eventually love these girls as much as I do!
