Hi everyone! I'm Sharon, one of the original MLM moms.
My wife and I live in St. Paul and we have a son, Ian, who will be 7 this weekend. We are both educators. I work in Jewish early childhood education, at a school in Minneapolis that I adore. My job is a mix of classroom teaching and administration, so I get to do a lot of things I love, working with kids, parents and teachers. I have an amazing colleague that I run the school with, and I feel like we are a great team and with our rock star staff of teachers, I'm really proud of the work we are doing.
My wife teaches early childhood special ed for St. Paul public schools, teaching children ages 2-PreK with Autism or ASD related disorders. She does amazing work with some really tough kids and has been called a miracle worker by more than one grateful parent. I'm incredibly proud of her.
Ian is an intense kid with a lot of interests. He's been into history since the age of 2. He loves government and follows current events closely when we let him. He is passionate about G-d and Judaism. He's a voracious reader and has a buddy librarian who he checks in with each week on our visits.
Obviously we are a Lesbian family. We are also a Jewish family. We tend towards attachment parenting. We are very conservative when it comes to media. We eat mostly organic and nutrition is a priority for us.

Thanks ladies!
I love my quote too, and the story that goes with it. It was one that inspired me as a child and has just always been helpful. That Hillel was famous for a reason.
