hey all!
i'm glad to have found this forum. i've been lurking for a while, figured it was probably about time to post an intro
i am a wife, a mother of a 20mo boy and a 5yo girl, both are teething molars right now, its awesome we have a shiba and we recently rescued a husky
i work full time in sleep medicine- testing and treatment of sleep disorders
a couple years back i made MP soaps with a gf for presents, and it was fun, but i really love nerding out on the chemistry of soapmaking.
my first couple batches i had some quick lessons on seizing and color morphing
i've been practicing alot, thirsty to learn more
thanks for having me!

Welcome, zanazalwi. You have a very busy life, it sounds like to me. I don't know how young mothers find the energy to do anything else when their kids are the age of yours. But you are making soap, too. Awesome!

it just keeps getting better and better- each age i just marvel at them and wonder "how could it possibly get better than this?!" and then they change and grow and they're just awesome little bittersweet that he's not my wee snuggly fella, but i do enjoy regaining some time to myself as he grows!

thank you for the warm welcomes! <3

Welcome Zanzalawi, lots of info in the M&P forum for you to read and in the Beginners forum. Most of your questions you'll need answers for are in there.

Zanzalawi, this is a great forum. Yep they do grow up to fast, but that first year can be so hard. I was re-introduced to it when my preemie granddaughter was born and I took care of her several times a week. Wow, it was hard
