Hello, everyone. This is my first blog entry and it has been a long time coming. I first thought about writing a blog over a year ago, but then my responsibilities kept me from focusing on my blog. I also suffer occasionally from perfectionism which keeps me from doing things until I feel I can do them...well perfectly. I know that no one and nothing is perfect and I just need to get out of my own way and do what needs to be done.
I have been trying to lose the baby weight for many years. My oldest is 18 now so I have tried just about everything to regain what I once had, or more accurately lose what I didn't use to have;) I am now going gluten, dairy and sugar free to see if resetting my metabolism is the key. In the process I'm sure me and the kids will all develop better eating habits, discover new foods, and find new ways of preparing some old favorites.
Spring is a great time of year for me because the kids can play outside more (which means less noise and messes in the house, as well as less pent up energy when they come back inside). Everyone pitches in to make the yard look good and we start eating snacks and meals out back. The nicer weather also makes it easier for the boys to wash my car and enjoy doing it. I walked to the post office and grocery store while my SUV sat in the driveway and one of the kids rode his skateboard to the store to get some water balloons.
Spring is when things grow and it signals rebirth, so it is a fitting time for the blogging/writing part of my life to begin. I hope you come back and visit my blog again, because who knows what crazy stuff I'll write about or what parenting issue we can toil over together. I just know sometimes its nice to get another mom's perspective on all the stuff we have to deal with daily. Now go get some iced tea and read a good book outside somewhere.
