Our Gaggle of Girls is website for a family of four humans and a cat living with family in a house on the North Shore of Massachusetts (with 1 puppy in exile). It’s beautiful and very peaceful, with a lot of places to run and play!

Our Gaggle of Girls.com includes 4 popular blogs:

A Gaggle of Girls, the main blog, chronicling the life of our family – living with Rachel’s Chronic Lyme Disease and chronic pain, the girls’ Celiac Disease and food allergies, the girls starting school after years of homeschooling, with snapshots of our life.
Rachel’s Recipe Box: The Gluten-Free Family. Celiac, gluten-free, dairy-free, gfcf, allergy-safe recipes the whole family will enjoy – great food even for folks without food allergies! We only post recipes that were enjoyed by everyone at our table.
A Gaggle of Book Reviews: Book Reviews from a family of five. We write Book Reviews of a wide variety of books: picture books, read-aloud chapter books, tween, young adult, and fiction & non-fiction for adults. These are great, detailed reviews so you know if a book is for you!
Spotlight: A Gaggle of Reviews. In addition to the above book reviews, we review products and services. Come see what we think of useful and fun stuff!

(If you are interested in having your book or product reviewed, please email Rachel to discuss it!)

Our family consists of mom Rachel, daughters Mackenzie (11), Isabel (9), and Amelia, (4). Rachel is the web designer, blogger, and writer in the family. Rachel spent years homeschooling the girls, and is now looking for a job! The girls keep busy with friends, school, swimming, and a myriad of other activities. Read more about our family, check out our flickr photos and look at years and years worth of pictures of the girls.

We love our animals, and the girls would be adding an animal a day if they could! Our pup is Ra, a year and a half old red Australian Cattle Dog. Our cat is Yuki, a beautiful calico. View our pets page for more about the animals past and present.
