I've lived in JP since before everyone wanted to move to JP- let's call that 1995.  My husband and I moved here with one toddler.  16 years later, we've doubled our family- one teenager, one tween and twins.

We're a vegan, car-free homeschooling family.  Not exactly religious, but Friday nights will usually find us lighting a Shabbat candle and trying out one of my gluten-free bread recipes.  I cook a lot- they eat a lot.

I'm a contributing author in the upcoming revision of the Moon Thailand Travel Guide.  I also contribute to Literary Boston and blog at Deb in the City and Written by Deb.  If you have a book recommendation, I'm all ears.
