母亲

“我们刚买了这间小公寓。我们从一个更大的带院子和美丽花园的家搬到这个更小的公寓，试图缩小和最小化我们的生活。我们在这里已经呆了六个月左右了，到目前为止，我们对我们的新空间非常满意。”

“我会说这是一个干净而明亮的，但舒适的空间。我们保持非常简单，但是来自世界各地的手工制作的东西。”

“我们搬了进去，铺了新地板，刷了几面墙。就是这样。我们想要一个更漂亮的厨房和浴室，但经过一番讨论后，我们认为把现有的东西留下更环保。虽然我们喜欢更漂亮的东西，但我们现在拥有的是功能性和实用的东西。如果我们打算永远住在这里，也许情况会有所不同，但我们没有。对我们来说，这是一个临时但美丽的空间。”

“我们真的喜欢这里整洁有序的东西。我们也追求一种更简约的生活，目标是保持物品的清洁和功能。但与此同时，我们都很喜欢那些在审美上令人愉悦的东西，所以我觉得我们在保持简单和保留一些漂亮的、装饰性的和有意义的东西之间有很好的平衡。如果它的功能性或感伤性不强，它可能就不会进入我们的家。”

"No, definitely not. Even now it’s hard to call ourselves true minimalists, since we do keep some objects that serve little purpose other than being beautiful. But I’ve never loved clutter and have always valued efficiency above all else, so the transition into less material things isn’t too surprising. We hope to have even less to carry in the future."

"Marlowe’s room in this condo is actually slightly larger than her room at the previous home. This wasn’t intentional, but it's definitely an enjoyed perk. It’s also the busiest and least minimalistic room of the house. It was important for us to let her keep whatever she wanted in our move. The goal for us is not to have her part with the things that she already owns, but to be mindful of whatever might come in. Other than a Lego set for her birthday or some new books here and there, not much else will come into her room at this point. Well, we’ll have to upgrade her desk eventually, but that’s because she refuses to stop growing."

马洛是众议院dj。

“我真的很享受旅行中所有的珍宝。我爱我们的危地马拉地毯和墨西哥面具。我喜欢印度的纺织品和尼泊尔的铜器。我喜欢马洛的老虎/火山艺术作品。这肯定是我的最爱。基本上，我最喜欢所有感伤的记忆片段。不过，我们的床也他妈的太棒了。”

“欢迎马洛在任何地方和她喜欢的地方玩耍。除了每天早上在沙发上找到一本书，她确实在她的房间里保持了大部分事情。从一开始，我们总是致力于我们的想法他们应该有一个地方。所以，她使用的东西，它回到了家里。她在没有现在询问的情况下，他们已经使用了，然后回到他们所属的地方。“

水果碗在这里总是满满的。

“每天我都能看着我的小人类长成一个完整的人，这绝对是一件非常奇妙的事情。我可以看到我每天对她和她的个性的影响，但她也是她自己。看着她的自我意识和在这个世界上的地位感不断发展，真是太酷了。”

"I had a few childhood traumas when I was younger. I never want those things to happen to her. It’s also hard when you look at the devolving state of the world and you want to change it for your child, but you can’t."

“当我发现自己怀了个女儿时，我一直哭个不停。在怀孕前两年，我一直是一个单亲妈妈。在我的脑海里，对一个孩子和我自己来说做一个抚养男孩的单身母亲似乎更好。最后一切都解决了，我非常感激我们之间的关系。如果我不是单身的话，我和这两个人在一起都会非常快乐。”

"Marlowe Paloma. No special meanings really. I saw the name Marlowe as a last name and fell in love. For the middle name I was leaning towards a Spanish name—I’m Colombian—and I loved the name Paloma. Nothing more. I probably would have just named her November Rain otherwise. Not for any reason other than being ridiculous."

这种爱好健美的家庭最丰富多彩的零食。

马洛今年9岁，喜欢一切艺术、创意和自然的东西。给她一本新小说或一套乐高玩具，她就会消失好几个小时。”

"No. Definitely not. I mean, I love being a mother, and I’m boggled by the people who say that parenting is hard—I don't think is has to be. But even now, I still don’t love babies and I’m really not sure if I would have chosen motherhood or not. I probably would have, but I don’t know. Either way I’m grateful it chose me."

“除了我单身的事实，害怕，它没有计划，怀孕很棒。当然我对结束时疼痛，但身体上的怀孕很好。老实说，我感谢我的素食饮食。”

“不，整件事人非常解身。几年后，我刚刚回到大学。我要去上学和兼职工作。我的父母提供了几个月的帮助，直到我能成为一个新的，帖子-baby plan. I’m grateful for it. In that time I was able to establish my blog and start creating an income at home."

The Business of Being Born when I was newly pregnant and I found that to be insightful. But mostly I just went with my gut."">

“嗯。我绝对没有阅读任何育儿书籍。我当时几乎没有研究过互联网。我确实看了出生的事情当我新怀孕时，我发现这是洞察力的。但大多数情况下我刚刚和我的胆子一起去了。“

“不是真的。我的意思是，我的祖母是惊人的女人。我很乐意就像其中任何一个一样。”

“你知道，我试着想象我妈妈和她的母性风格，但我做不到。比如，我知道她爱我，给我吃的，给我穿的，但除此之外我就不记得什么了——比如她教我什么是生活或理想。我的母亲是一位伟大的母亲，但我认为她经常被生活的物质部分而不是情感部分所包围。但她让我做我自己。这对任何年龄的人来说都很重要。她不太严格，也不囿于自己的想法。”

andrea在马洛的卧室里绘了彩虹。

"I’m not sure if I’m super strict. I think the idea of strictness is relative though. But we do have structures in place. I expect Marlowe to be kind, polite, thoughtful, and I especially expect her to take care of herself and the planet. It’s really important for me to have a mindful child in this changing world. Marlowe and I have a lot of one-on-one time together. A lot of conversations. A lot of creative time. We have a really close and intimate relationship. It’s great. I hope it stays that way."

“是的,没有。我从不关注性别歧视。无论是我自己的性别还是我女儿的性别，我都希望她是一股强大、自信的力量。我觉得关注我们是女性这一事实，是在强调一个事实，即有些人可能认为我们“不如”——我们不是。地球需要我们。”

“母性不一定是可怕的或尽可能多地变得可怕或似乎。母性将是你做的任何东西。因为你可以创造你想要的生活。”

“我喜欢和我丈夫一起怀孕的想法，因为我们之前从未经历过，但我们有一个孩子很开心，不打算再要更多。这对我们的生活和地球来说都是更可持续的。但如果可以的话，我们希望有一天能收养孩子。”

ohdeardrea, create photography content for companies, and I wrote a vegan cookbook, too. I love all three, but I am feeling a shift coming on soon. I'm taking this half-way sabbatical time to figure that all out."">

“我的博客ohdeardrea，为公司创建摄影内容，我写了一个素食食谱,太。这三种我都喜欢，但我感觉变化很快就会到来。我要在休假的中途把事情弄清楚。”

“我出生在南佛罗里达州，但在父母离婚后，我随母亲和弟弟搬到了马萨诸塞州。我的一生都在这两个地方之间度过。高中毕业后，我去罗德岛上大学，但我只坚持了三年，就再也受不了冬天了，需要离开。我搬到了我能找到的最热、阳光最充足的地方——亚利桑那州!我搬到那里的那一周气温是华氏115度。最终，我意识到我无法说服家人和朋友去沙漠看我，于是我搬回了南佛罗里达。从那以后，我基本上就在这里了，主要是做零工——经营一家健康食品店和一家嬉皮士商店，做服务员，调酒，所有的事情。我回到学校，决定开一个新的博客——我从16岁怀孕时就开始公开写博客了。这最终发展成了我现在的全职工作。”

"Well, I’ve been blogging online since I was about 15 or 16—so about 18 years. But when I became pregnant I thought, 'you know, I don’t know if this can become a full-time job, but let me see what I can do with it.' Well, I got pretty lucky cause it picked up quickly and I was able to support myself and my daughter with my blog and a part time job, and then eventually just my blog pretty quickly. I feel like I would have blogged regardless of motherhood, but motherhood made me curious about the earning potential as well, since I obviously would prefer any job where I can support my family at home."

“是的，这几乎是住在我住的地方的唯一好处。我爸爸、哥哥和他们的家人就在不远的地方。我有很好的朋友，我们已经认识很多年了，我还经常在这里交到新朋友。我知道如果我需要，总有人能帮到我。问是不是难的部分!”

“马洛开始幼儿园就像一个普通的孩子。我们家附近的学校是一个非常可怕的学校，但我们很幸运，她有资格获得一个天赋的计划，不太遥远。虽然这是一个体面的选择，但是homeschool kept creeping in. And it wasn’t too far into the school year when we decided we would like to pull her out of school and try moving to Guatemala for a year. So, we pulled her out and started homeschooling at home. A few months later we made our way to Guatemala. We were only there for about a month or two and then we left due to a pregnancy/miscarriage situation. We spent the next year and a half mostly traveling. We took her to France, Nepal, Mexico, Colombia, and a handful of other places. While we still worked on the basics for school, we mostly focused on learning out in the world. I guess a homeschool/world-school/unschool sort of situation."

“砍掉垃圾，不要过度思考它。”

“嗯。当我没有带马洛去印度时，我感到很内疚。在国外的时候，我们试着一起去，但是我们在尼泊尔得了贾第鞭毛虫或者某种水虫，所以没能到达印度。所以，这肯定在我的“一定要在她的一天”清单上。我不知道，大多数情况下我做一些她也会喜欢的有趣的事情时，我感觉很糟糕。我尽量不去想太多，因为我知道她正在享受她的时光。”

“这是非常重要的。孩子们会注意到我们做的每一件事，即使他们没有意识到。你想让你的孩子放弃使用电子设备吗?然后你就放下你的设备。你想让你的孩子自己收拾?然后你自己打扫干净。成为你希望你的孩子成为的人。”

“轻松而且简单。我可能有一些装饰耳环，但其他一切都是蓝色的牛仔裤，牛仔裤短裤和T恤。”

“我在生命中经历了几个风格的阶段。我穿着怀孕的更多衣服和裙子，但我慢慢淘汰了这一点。”

Franc. The clothes are so easy and so comfortable and ethically made in Canada. Love them. The jeans I wear most these days are from Reformation. I have mixed feelings about the company and the quality, but some of their pieces are pretty great. If I purchase any new pieces, I make sure they are sustainably and ethically made. Outside of that, a lot of my clothes now are secondhand or one-of-a-kind handmade pieces I find while traveling."">

“我基本上在一副牛仔裤短裤，牛仔裤或某种方便的棉裤之间旋转。对于顶部，它主要是T恤。我喜欢公司法郎。衣服如此简单，如此舒适，在加拿大道德制作。爱他们。这些天我最穿的牛仔裤是来自改革。我对公司的感情和质量有些感情，但其中一些碎片非常伟大。如果我购买任何新作品，我确保他们是可持续和道德制作的。在那之外，现在我的大量衣服是我发现的二手或一类手工制作的碎片。“

安德里亚还在卧室里手绘了华丽的ombré墙壁——这是一项她并不推荐给其他人的工作!

really minimal around here. I’m slowly phasing out makeup as well. Sunshine and clean water are my favorite beauty products."">

“哈哈，好吧，我有一瓶荷巴巴油，为我的脸。一瓶椰子油为我的身体。我的头发一瓶可可粉。我每天都有皮肤刷。我保留它真的在这里最小。我也慢慢淘汰化妆。阳光和清洁水是我最喜欢的美容产品。“

"I’ve slowly started adding workouts to my schedule. I was really sick for a long time and my body couldn’t handle it. Now I do weight training in hopes to gain some strength back. I also try to sauna daily—we have both a gym and sauna in our building. And I meditate every morning. I'm really trying to detox and focus over here."

"It’s been a slow and often painful process. But I am getting somewhere. My gut and energy has begun to heal since switching to a high-carb fruitarian diet. And now I’m working on detoxing through saunas and meditation. I’m not 100% better, but I’m light years better for the bedridden self that I was."">

"Honestly, I feel like I’m still figuring the whole thing out. C. difficile was the only proper diagnosis I had when I was hospitalized. But I was suffering long before the antibiotic I took created the c. diff overgrowth. It was a series of events that led to my body crashing: mercury exposure from poor dental work, heavy metal poisoning from vaccines, and overworking myself with motherhood, working on my blog, my cookbook, planning retreats, and more. So, not only did I have to repair my damaged colon and immune system, but now that that’s mostly getting into place, I have to detox the rest of the junk built up in my body."

“好吧，我们现在都在吃高碳水化合物、低脂肪和水果的饮食。说实话，这太棒了。自从我们都做出了改变，我发现我们的精力水平和整体健康水平显著提高。自从我们换了家，马洛在过去三年里病过一次。有一些变化是很难的——当你有一个梦想成为面包师的丈夫时，成为一个无麸质家庭是不容易的——但这对我们所有人都很有帮助，只要留心自然和非自然的世界是如何影响我们的。”

"Work is secondary for me right now. Which is actually crazy hard. I’ve always been one of those people who focused on efficiency, and every day I have to remind myself that rest is efficient…and sometimes crucial. If I want to really live and thrive in the life I want, I need to let myself fully heal now. Otherwise, I’ll just be a ticking bomb that can and probably will crash again."">

“我现在有很多自己的时间。比我这辈子经历过的都多。马洛今年开始上学，这是三年来的第一次。我丈夫的工作时间因为他开了一家新餐馆而改变了。现在，有史以来第一次，我有了一天中大部分的独处时间。四年前的我可能会说“加油、加油、加油”，这一次我可能会过度工作，把自己累倒在地。但现在的我决定放慢一切，专注于疗伤。所以，我整个早上都在冥想。然后去健身房或做瑜伽。然后是桑拿，在那里我花时间阅读。”

“我们喜欢这里的海滩……当我们可以利用它的时候。南佛罗里达有很多污染问题，这是由于农业径流——主要是“大糖”，但也由于畜牧业和传统农业。因此，由于污染，一年中的大部分时间我们都不能在海里游泳。但我们什么时候可以去海滩呢?好吧，那我们就一直在那里。”

“我们等不及要离开了!”这主要取决于我丈夫的工作，但我们有一个大约三年的计划来摆脱这里。几年前，我们试图搬到危地马拉，但由于不可预见的事件，我们回来了，但我们希望有一天能再次回到中美洲。”

"Even after relocating to 'downtown' there really isn’t too much to do here in West Palm Beach—like, we go to the beach a lot. But other than that we usually just head south to Miami for family days. We like to plan beach picnics a lot. Or just spend time with friends at home. Or we host friends over for dinner often, since we eat a mostly plant-based diet. There’s not really places to shop around here, which works totally fine for us since we’re aiming to avoid shopping anyway. We live a quiet life when we’re home, but it’s fine, we’re trying to enjoy the quiet mellow life, too."

“旅行开辟了一个全新的联系世界，语言，知识和感恩。我们需要能够超越自己，我们的直接生活是为了了解我们自己的生命如何影响全球环境和经济。我们试图赶到world often and gain knowledge without taking away from cultures and places. Each trip leaves me feeling renewed and happy, and I can see the change in my entire family, too. I’m always grateful for it."

family-friendly sustainable living retreat this coming March in Costa Rica. It’ll be all vegan/fruitarian-based with a ton of workshops focusing on being more sustainable in a non-sustainable world. There’ll be workshops on permaculture, parenting, mind-body connections, yoga classes, nature excursions, and so much more—I'm really looking forward to that. As for resolutions, I want to commit to my health, without feeling guilt. And I want to make a real business plan. I don’t necessarily plan on leaving my blog forever, but I really want to spark up something new. I like new things."">

“是啊!我举办一个家庭友好的可持续生活休息今年3月在哥斯达黎加。它将以素食/果食为基础，有大量的研讨会，专注于在一个不可持续的世界中更可持续。将会有关于永续栽培、养育子女、身心联系、瑜伽课、自然远足等等的研讨会，我真的很期待。至于决心，我想保证我的健康，而不感到内疚。我想制定一个真正的商业计划。我并不打算永远离开我的博客，但我真的想要点燃一些新的东西。我喜欢新鲜事物。”
