My Blog

Wow, we hit 250 followers!  I never thought that I would have so many people reading my blog.  I remember thinking that 40 hits a day was amazing and now its double that on most days.  More than the numbers though, I really appreciate when I get a comment or someone sends a kind email telling me that something I've written was helpful to them.

My posts are often a lot of work.  I do a lot of behind the scenes research, reading reviews, trying recipes, failing recipes, and getting frustrated when I can't figure things out.  When I put a post up, it is usually pretty well thought out and even rewritten a few times over.  I guess that might make me look like I have it all together.

I don't.

Most days I have piles of laundry waiting to be washed, a sink entire counter full of dirty dishes, a horribly misbehaving 3 year old who shall go unnamed, and way too many papers piled up in the living room.  Making a grocery list and meal planning stresses me out to no end because of how much work it takes to figure out healthy meals.  I can get quite out of sorts when I think about all that I am trying to learn and do.

You guys are often my encouragement to keep trying.

I love being able to share a tip, easy recipe, or a great product find with my readers.  I enjoy reading blogs and have learned so much from others that I take joy in being able to help or inspire someone else.  Being a mom is my favorite thing ever, and the hardest.  I don't think I'll ever have it all figured out but I need to remind myself to enjoy the process a bit more.  Thanks for joining me on the ride.
