I am laying here on the road to recovery after my surgery.  There is nothing quite like a mandated period of rest for a sleep deprived mom.  While I am mostly enjoying it, there are some minor annoyances and frustrations when it comes to getting back on my feet. My brain goes into mommy mode and wants to do everything all at once! Including carrying 20 things downstairs so I only have to make one trip instead of ten.  This is how I used to do things and all of a sudden I am severely limited in my maneuvering capabilities. Which brings me to the all important concept and inspiration for this blog: Balance.

My husband and I have used this word so many times and in so many different ways over the past few years. We have had some unique challenges as we attempt to navigate the world of becoming a blended family. We are trying to find stability for not only us but also our 4 kids. Ultimately being a stay at home mom, which I enjoy, I am beginning to experience some feelings of wanting to get back out into the world and challenge myself! This is where the blog comes in. I have enjoyed reading other peoples blogs for a while now and frankly didn’t think the world needed one more story to be told. 

However, I have had a lot of time to process and think about what I truly want out of life and what I am passionate about. I want to put myself out there to see what can happen.  If I can encourage one person in some small way, I will consider it a success.  I find a sort of peace in the word balance. There are many things I am interested in pursuing and those are the things I would enjoy writing about here.  The two areas I feel passionate about are holistic health and creating a happy family.  I look forward to going on this journey of figuring out my path and hopefully connecting to some great people along the way!

This is my story. And welcome to it!
