Elizabeth "Bert" Anderson is a stay-at-home mom of three living outside of the Twin Cities in Minnesota and the writer behind the blog First Time Mom. She's a lover of cloth diapers, wholesome living, pop culture, health and fitness, and the blessings as well as challenges that come with being a mother. She calls herself "semi-crunchy" since there are still aspects of her life that are quite modern!
