Like so many men, women, children (?) out there, I’ve decided to start a blog. This is my obligatory first post. I think that’s how it goes. Do I introduce myself? I’m Annie. 32 years old, love to cook, fitness enthusiast, small business owner. **

**Shit…my anti-sleep kid just woke up for the 2nd time in the hour and 45 minutes since he’s gone down for the night. Hold, please…**

Ok, back.

Well, obviously I’m a mom…to the cutest (biased) almost year old baby boy, Archer. Since his birth last year, I’ve become much more of a “crunchy” person. So I guess that’s the theme of this blog. I hope to share my passion for cooking with recipes I love, my interest in essential oils, natural remedies, and any crunchy projects I find myself taking on. I also identify myself as an attachment parent – for the most part – so I’ll most likely share some stuff on AP, too.

If you’ve found yourself here for whatever reason, and you’re not my husband, mother, sister, or best friend, I hope you take something from “freshsqueezedmama”. Welcome!
