Welcome to Modern Alternative Mama!
I’m Kate, and I’m 26. I’m married to my wonderful husband Ben, who is 27. We’ve been married since 2006 (5 years now)! In January 2008, we welcomed our daughter, Rebekah, who is now almost 4! In July 2009, we welcomed our son, Daniel, who was born at home, and is now 2. Then, in August 2011, we welcomed our second son, Jacob, also born at home. It’s pretty busy around here now!
I’ve loved to write since I was a little girl, and I always have a lot to say. So much that I was desperate to start a blog for a long time before I actually did it (in October, 2009). Ben encouraged me to do it, and it’s grown into what you see today! I still have way more to say than I actually have time to write, even more than two years in!
I don’t just write here. I do guest posting at many other wonderful blogs (including contributing monthly to Keeper of the Home), and I run a local real-food group (we have access to pastured meats, eggs, raw milk, and also do bulk nuts, vanilla beans, Green Pastures products, and more) for those who want top-quality food! Contact me if you’re interested in learning more about that (I’m in Columbus, OH). I’m also beginning to homeschool Rebekah, we are active in our church and a couple local playgroups, and in my “free” time (haha), I enjoy cooking, sewing, and other crafty things.
Through this blog you’ll get to know us even more, so jump right in!
Living the non-mainstream life: Jesus-loving, debt-free living, home birthing, extended breastfeeding, cloth diapering, non-vaccinating, organic gardening and real-food cooking mama!
