About Jill
First and foremost I am a mother to four amazing people. They are so incredible to me and have changed and shaped almost every part of my life.
Because of them I am an advocate for children, a radical unschooler, and an attachment parent. I am passionate about birth and babies. I love to cook, create, and play with my kids as I watch them grow.
