I don't think any of the regular posters are in that area (I know I'm not! LOL! New Mexico, here). But you fit right in with the other things around here. While I'm not a Dr. Sears advocate (can't stand the guy, actually), I have breastfed all four of my children (still currently nursing my 8 month old and will til he is a year at least), used a sling for three (wasn't introduced to one til my 2nd was a few months old), and reluctantly am co-sleeping with the baby (the baby's choice. He wouldn't sleep alone from day one in the hospital).

As for housekeeping, check out www.flylady.net and see if that's your thing. It's just a system of cleaning and organizing your life. Not for everyone, but there are a few here that do it and it works for.
