We have plenty of neighborhoods filled with new homes in my market and I’d never live there.So I guess a better criteria is would my wife want to live here with our toddler?

I am married to my lovely wife who happens to be very supportive of REI, and we have a toddler who just learned how to say "clock" without the "l" today.

Another newbie from Milwaukee (a.k.a MILL-E-WAH-QUE according to Wayne's World:))I am finally sending out my intro post after many months of reading and listening to the excellent podcasts and just soaking up all the knowledge that you all have graciously offered.A little bit about myself...I am a wife and mother with a 2.5 year old toddler boy that keeps me on my toes constantly!

Reminds me so much of my son as a toddler when he would pout and stomp his leg demanding he get his way. 

This summer my family and I moved to Arkansas to be closer to family and so I transition from my 14 year banking career to staying home with my toddler who was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome this year.
