Hi! I’m Erika. I grew up in Michigan and graduated from college with a degree in Creative Writing (can’t you tell?) and Psychology.
I’m a wife and mom of five kids, who I homeschool.

Clockwise from top left: Mineral, Animal, My Masterpiece, Cousin It and The Informant (October 2012)
Plus one dog
I’m into the whole Attachment Parenting thing, which means homebirthing, nursing, babywearing, cloth-diapering, intact bodies and homeschooling.
Other than writing, I love to read and sleep.
In 2008 I had a Biliopancreatic Diversion with a Duodenal Switch and got really skinny.
I work part time at a holistic pet supply store. The store has a bird.
