Nicone Atthi Bio

I am an architect with a Dynamic Family Home who loves writing about our home improvement projects as well as our logistical household challenges, looking for inspiration anywhere I can find it! I've been an architect since 1993 and a parent since 1996 and during those years I have accumulated a lot of experience in both arenas. I got married and established my Dynamic Family in 2000, with my husband and me, together with his and my child from previous relationships. Since then we've had three more children together! When our third (fourth, fifth - according to how you count) child came along we realized that we needed a bigger house and I've been really excited about the opportunity to adjust our new home to suit our needs on almost every level. And whatever still doesn't fit - I'm working on it!

The idea about starting The Dynamic Family Home site came to me in November of 2009 during a quite chaotic period of my life dominated by a lot of work and little play. I felt like I was drowning in practical tasks and a heavy workload both at home and at work. It was time to turn things around and start focusing on the opportunities instead of the obstacles in my life, and to have some fun! So the blog about mastering the challenges of everyday life in a Dynamic Family, while creating the Home of our dreams, was born!

Frank Brinkman (icare2b) Bio


I have retired after 41 years in the computer industry.  Some of the jobs I held were: systems analyst, senior programmer, manager, and crisis manager.  I write poems, prose, and musings into my journals.  Since retiring in 2006 I now have time to do the things I have only dreamt of.    

I started drawing and painting when I was in elementary school.  I sketch, sculpt, and wire-wrap semi-precious stones into beautiful pendants for necklaces.  I will be posting poems, prose, basic truths of living that I have discovered, and musings from my personal journals that I started writing in 1994.   

I have entered poems from 1994 into late 1997 on my Poetry Blog: Frank's Musings and Prose located at http://icare2be.wordpress.com/about/  There are about 170 poems on this blog.  There have been over 90 positive comments received and are also posted.  I try to add something new each week

Ibn Hanif (eYeWitness) Bio

Although I was born in a small village of Kashmir, I spent most of my school and college life in Lahore (a crowded city).  Professionally I belong to the field of electrical technology, but just trouble shooting the electrical circuits is not the only way I wish to serve my fellow human beings.  I think I should also do whatever I can to see a world full of love and peace.  I joined the blogosphere to compare and share my thoughts and beliefs with people from all around the world.   
 
I hope I would not hesitate to correct myself whenever and wherever I will realize that I am wrong.  I love communications and discussions as long as they are held in a friendly environment.  Of course English is not my first language but I am an amateur photographer who desires to convey the missing message through photos of seeds, leaves, trees, flowers and with thorns too.

Sean Macgillicuddy (BothEyesShut) Bio

BothEyesShut is your friendly autodidact, at your service to enthuse, confuse and discombobulate for your casual amusement.  “In a Real World, This Would Be Happening” is his first return to non-fiction since his monthly column in Going Coastal Magazine in 2001.  He is the author of five novels.  He lives in Long Beach, CA, with his ever-loving and two cats, and has not outgrown his pubescent penchant for vinyl records.

JuJuBe Bio

My name is Joanna aka JuJuBe. I am a passionate person, especially when it comes to issues of social justice!  I am particularly interested in discussions of race/racism, fat acceptance, mental health advocacy and the criminal (in)justice system.  I am 36 years old, and have variously been labeled "fat", "crazy", and "hippy weirdo".  My goal is to embrace that which was supposed to shame me by accepting that maybe I am all those things and more.  So much more. And that is a good thing.  I blog at http://mynameisjujube.blogspot.com/

I was born in California, requested transfer to Australia, and through a bureaucratic f*ck-up was dumped by the Universe in the middle of the Midwestern Plains. I'm a nonprofit professional who works too many hours, a mother, a sometimes world traveler, a neglectful housekeeper and a dreamer extraordinaire, and I write around the corners of all of this. My goal is to mother, travel, housekeep, etc. around the corners of my writing. I think that's a reasonable goal.
I recently started writing again after a 15-year hiatus and realized I had been a fool to stop. Why do we ever stop doing the things that make us feel alive? 
I live with two phenomenal kids who delight and exhaust me, countless stacks of books and zero cats, which is two too few. Victims and pessimists irritate me. I believe we create our own experience of life and I've spent the better part of my life figuring out how to do a better job of that. I think I'm getting better at it.
