living in oregon, socal transplant, lakers fan forever, attached-stay-at-home-multiracial mama to deepak (7 years old) and sanjana (1 1/2 years old) - my beautiful 1/2 indian, 1/4 filipino & 1/4 caucasion babies. deepak is my sensitive, extremely bright, book loving, vegetarian by choice since he was 3 (mom and dad off and on the wagon), amazing big brother, boy who has my heart. sanjana is my long meditated on, born by VBAC, radiant girl. she has opened all of our hearts even more - to her and to one another. she is our reminder of the simple joys, amazement and random beauty of the everyday world. currently expecting baby #3 (jan 2010), a total and welcome surprise. i can't believe how blessed i am!

desperate to BE crafty! hubby bought me a sewing machine, i am so intimidated by all the wonderful things people make. i have made a few headbands and some 'fat quarter skirts'. i've even hit estate sales to reuse sheets and pillow cases but i need to buckle down and just create! i also intend to do more decorating of my daughter and baby boy's (due in january!) clothes. i've fabric painted some onesies and tried some applique but again - i need to buckle down and go for it! i'd love to learn simple jewelery making too.

i love LOTUS flowers. i have a beautiful and vibrant pink lotus on the back of my neck. i love citrusy scents. i bake alot! when my son started 1st grade i started the 'cookie monday' tradition. homemade yummies every monday and i haven't missed one in two years!

i love buying hair clippies for my daughter and then using them to hold my own bangs back, lol.

favorite colors: sage green, teal, rusty orange and always open to swap items being geared towards my 7 year old. his favorite color is red, he loves harry potter, star wars, bookmarks, chess, rocks and collecting erasers.
