I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.
Yup, my name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley. Read more »My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.

Hi! Love this picture - they look incredibly cute!
I just wanted to say I saw your comment and the photo - so funny! I like that shirt :)
We’re really excited to be having a homebirth, too. I loved your birthing story, and it definitely encouraged me even further in my resolve to make it happen. We feel so good about that decision, and it’s really nice for me to be able to read about real, live women who were successful in it. :)
I’m glad our husbands have reconnected. I’ve followed your blog as well as the Mom and Us blog for a while now and all I ever receive is loads of encouragement.
Thanks for writing!

How cute! Is it me or is Jameson looking more like Ryan lately?

@Keila: I think that’s pretty true, too. Or maybe it’s that William looks so much like a Sinclair baby to me compared to Jameson, which makes Jameson in turn look so much more Dunphey?… Hmm.

You are a good mama - always lay a blanket on the carpet before the baby!And Jameson, my gosh, has always been Dunphey thru and thru.
Well, except for hair color. And yours in the family photo - wanted to mention how much like the coolest Christmas tinsel ever your hair is!!!
