My name is Amy (AKA amygeekgrl, AKA crunchy domestic goddess). I’m a wife (to Jody) and crunchy mama (to Ava - 6/2004 and Julian - born at home 11/2006) and am passionate about breastfeeding, cloth diapering, gentle discipline, recycling, organic foods and informed healthcare decisions. I practice Attachment Parenting (or parenting by instinct) because it feels right for me and my family.

Since Ava’s birth, I’ve felt a need to raise awareness on various issues relating to women’s health and children, something I try to do via my blog - Crunchy Domestic Goddess. I truly do want to make the world a better place for her and Julian and I hope that I can do that even if it’s in a very small way. As Gandhi said, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” In addition to my wife and mama role, I’m the shopkeeper of an online store (Attached At The Hip) featuring AP advocacy wear and more.

I also enjoy reading, writing, photography and hiking.
