multiple realitiestag:typepad.com,2003:weblog-999291303626401412013-05-17T05:36:00-07:00Hi, I'm Jennifer. I live in Providence, RI with my husband and three young children (two of them twins). When not shaking raisins out of the rug, I enjoy sewing, drinking strong black coffee, wearing broken-in cowboy boots and listening to This American Life – often all at the same time. I dislike shouting, excessive packaging, and “mompetition.” I wax my eyebrows, but I secretly wish I were an off-the-grid homesteader in rural Vermont. I strive for simple, local and creative urban living. To pay (some of) the bills, I am a fundraising consultant and Spanish-English interpreter. I also teach “Global Activism” at a nearby university. In my previous life, I lived for several years in Nicaragua, and then directed U.S.-based environmental and social justice campaigns focused on Latin America. I sell my handmade items at www.dearlizacreations.com and blog about my multiple realities at: www.multiplerealitiesblog.comTypePadhttp://creativecommons.org/images/public/somerights20.gifMultipleRealitieshttp://feedburner.google.coma week with less screen timetag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a01630503bd6d970d01901c466a36970b2013-05-17T05:36:00-07:002013-05-17T05:54:33-07:00JenniferI've been in front of my computer screen much less than usual this week, with the Southern New England air finally turning warm, smelling so sweet, and my kids pulling me outside. I also needed a break from the intense blogging/social media frenzy surrounding the Listen to Your Mother show...<div class="feedflare">
