About Me

Laura A: Oh my this intro is old! But I'm leaving it up as a sort of time capsule: I am a homeschooling mom who lives in Manhattan. We moved here thirteen years ago after a life-long residence in the South. I have been married for 24 years, and my husband and I have one child, a teenage daughter. We will be moving to Torino, Italy in August. Update: Open ID is broken so I'm using this as my linked blog for now in order to comment on other Blogger blogs.
