So who am I lol my name is Charlotte and I live in North East Scotland between Aberdeen and Inverness, I am married to Richard who most of you know better as gabelpa. I am a stay-at home Marmee. My husband is American but I am English. We are both LDS Richard was brought up in the church, I am a recent convert I was baptised in 1992. I met Richard online about 8 years ago just after he had returned from his mission, one day I received a blessing that said within a week I would have the answer to the prayer who to marry which was fun as we had never met and we were both dating each other - fortunately my husband is a good man and prayed himself. We met in March 2002 in real life got engaged 3 days later after I had been through the San Diego Temple it was wonderful he got off his knees and someone having a party the other side of mission bay let off fireworks. No Matter what our trials Heavenly Father gave us lots of moments like that surrounding our engagement and wedding that sustained us and constantly confirmed the answers to prayers that we were to marry. He is an amazing, strong, wise man and truly the greatest blessing

We live in a two bed bungalow about a mile from the Moray Firth (North Sea) - its beautiful and safe where we live and I appreciate it

We have two kiddies Elana Clare and Gabriel MacRae or Ellie and Gabey - Ellie is strong, independent and sassy a little who at the age of 4 knows her own mind and how to get it lol - Gabey is 1 and generally more laid back, he is just learning to walk he loves housework and anything with wheels. And one day he will decide sleep is a good thing and let Marmee sleep too. We also have a cat called Sylvie who is pretty and elegant and Lucy the Lurcher dog (German ShepherdxGreyhound) who is daft but very elegant

I was inspired by the Continuum Concept as a teen and work to bring my children up, I don't use it all but we did do early socialisation we cosleep, babywear etc and I use cloth nappies/diapers. And and we will be now homeschooling - I bribed my daughter into leaving her montesorri nursery behind I know it has proved for our family to be a fairly stress free way of parenting

Both Richard and I are mostly vegatarian, and have a major interest in enviromental concerns, our goal is to build an Eco-House (possibly a superadobe CalEarth Vault house or an Earthship) We are hoping to move to Kansas in a few years, and have a plot of land with allsorts of animals. I would like to have some ancient breed sheep and other animals. My daughter wants horses

Before becoming a Marmee I was laid low with fibormyalgia a nasty devestating illness and before that I was doing an archaeology degree with the aim to become a forensic anthropologist.

Welll thats us

When you get to Kansas I would suggest that before the goats and horses that you put in the time to dig a nice deep storm shelter with strong doors. I was glad we had one when I was a kid in Okahoma. More than once we scrambled for it when tornados swirlled by.

the house plans currently involve a kitchen basement, with a pantry or suitable storm room off it, whether it will be possible will depend on the land. -Charley
