Contributors

In March 2010, I added a team of contributors who write weekly columns here at SortaCrunchy.

Meet the contributing team:

Cara (real food movement)

Cara lives in Montana with her husband and two young children (3 and 1).  She enjoys playing with her kids, cooking, crafts, and reading. She writes at Health, Home and Happiness.

Dina (school of the home)

a student of life, learning daily through the unconditional love of her God, her husband, and her four children. a lamb to her Good Shepherd and a shepherdess to her young ewes, all the while hoping that somehow, someway her life brings about change in the lives of others that will last for all eternity.  Read more from Dina at A Worthy Life.

Jaime (working outside the home)

Jaime is a wife, practicing attorney, and mama to three precious munchkins ages five and under.  She enjoys the intersection of all her lives, and has just started writing about the joy she finds in trying to Have It All at Sand In My Coffee.

Laura (crafts and creating)

Laura is the mother of three kids who range from toddler to teenager.  She is passionate about healthful, sustainable food, and making things from scratch.  In her fantasy life, she has a farm with chickens and goats, but for now raises her vegetables in the flower beds of her suburban garden.  She chronicles her adventures at Chicken Counting.

The addition of a team of contributing writers was inspired by the contributing model of community set forth by Tsh of Simple Mom and the Simple Living Media blogs.
