Hello Again!

Hello World!
I have decided to dust off this blog and get at it again.  For awhile there, my life was way busy and too hard or busy to keep up with blogging.  I'm now at a point that I think I can add this back in to my life. 

My kids will be going by the names Lightning, Leo, and Lizzy.  We have all agreed on these names.  If you can believe it, deciding on a name with my youngest was the hardest!  My kids are 7, 6 and 3.  I am a stay a home mom and my kids are homeschooled.  We are in to a lot of "natural" stuff, we do lots of sports and try to get outside as much as possible.  We hope to own our own homestead someday.
This blog will probably go down the route of recipes, homeschool stuff, stay at home mom stuff, dreams, health, and, maybe, a little bit of "work" items.  I will just do as I feel led.

In the years I've been gone, a lot has happened.  Possibly the biggest change was when we moved back and forth from Idaho to Arizona and back to Idaho.  Additionally, my husband and I took up running for a while in 2014-2015.  I ended up running a 5K, 10K, 7K, 10K, 5K, 12K and Half Marathon.  I found that 10K's felt the best.  Half marathons...now those are a doozy!  I'm not sure I ever want to do that, again! Another change, is while training for my half marathon, I gained about 20 pounds and couldn't understand why.  It turns out my adrenals and thyroid were not function quite right and my hormones were out of balance.  I've just recently started to correct those.  So, I HOPE I am back to "normal" soon.
***Soap Box Moment: Moms~~~If you feel something may be wrong---gaining weight, feeling sluggish, HAVE to have coffee, etc.---please get your adrenals, thryoid, hormones checked by your doctor or naturopath or specialist.  This is too important to ignore!***
 As of now, I am back to running and following Couch to 10K (C210K) and following the app to build back up my running endurance.


I hope to be on here more in the future.  I am currently in the process of getting school stuff set up for next year, trying a few new things and doing the busy life of mom.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
