Of Pandas and Pirates

Feb 14, 2012 By

Meet Anjie, an animal lover and mom. She’s our featured blogger today and she writes at Of Pandas and Pirates.
Of Pandas and Pirates

Here’s a little bit about Anjie and her blog:

It’s a family blog with a twist since we are not just any old family. I am a sarcastic, pretty unique stay at home mom and I’m married to a jack of all trades New England redneck who works for the government. We have three children together, one of which is an angel in Heaven. We are animal lovers to a fault, but of a different kind than what you are used to. It’s an interesting ride we are on, I hope you’ll join us!

Of Pandas and Pirates

Here are some of Anjie’s favorite posts:

Explaining a difficult and painful topic to a child in Discussions of Quinne.

Kindergarten is around the corner in Changes are Coming.

I Have a Superpower addresses breastfeeding.

Now check in with a quick comment here, and then head to Anjie’s for more Of Pandas and Pirates.
