Please welcome another of our amazing sponsors, Amy, of the Progressive Pioneer:
I am a stay-at-home mom in Salt Lake City, Utah. I grew up in Midcoast Maine and am a country girl at heart. In between degrees for anthropology and teaching I worked as a corporate ethnographer for product design and strategy firms. Where I'm at right now, however, at home with a toddler (and a baby on the way!), a small flock of chickens and something tasty on the stove, is by far my favorite career yet. I love sharing my experiences with urban homesteading, natural family living, being an LDS mom, bee keeping, attachment parenting, raw food and whole food cooking, yoga practicing, urban chicken "farming," unschooling and whatever else is inspiring me. I love the internet as a vehicle for connecting like-minded people and creating communities of support and encouragement. I hope that this site can serve to inspire, validate and encourage other women and families who are making similar choices or perhaps to stimulate curiosity in those for whom some of these ideas are new.
My hope is that the Progressive Pioneer site will inspire families to make small changes here and there, where they can, gradually building on each small change to make overall shifts towards a greener, simpler, more sustainable lifestyle. A trip through the archives will unearth plenty of ideas from making things yourself, to self-sufficiency and sustainability, to thoughts on simple parenting.
You can read more about the progressive pioneering philosophy and read interviews and articles about the site and its author. Progressive Pioneer is updated daily throughout the week, with giveaways each weekend.
