About me

I’m an American woman who’s been living in The Netherlands for eleven years. I’m married to Mr. J and have two children:  a son (Little J) and a baby daughter (Little K).

I chose Kymber in Mothering-Land because it sounds a bit like Alice in Wonderland.  Carroll was apparently on LSD or dropping acid when he wrote it, thus fueling his imagination.  It’s a surreal story, and parenting is a bit surreal, too. I sometimes feel like Alice confonted by cheshire cats or those guards dressed like playing cards for the Queen of Hearts.  ‘What comes next?  How do I handle this?  Will I ever get out of the rabbit hole?’
