So this is me,
a thirty something, sleep deprived, mother of three
beautiful yet challenging children.



Welcome

Thank You for visiting my blog.

I am a writer, mother, educator, artist of life, and free spirit sharing moments of growth, inspiration, and transformation with reckless abandon.  I find the more I connect with others, the more I learn, so join me in the conversation and we can all learn from each other.

It would be nice to say, this is where you can keep up with what's going on with me, as well as my family, but it would be more accurate to admit that this blog is a gradual work in progress reflecting only what I have found a moment to write about. There are countless stories and moments of inspiration floating around in my head - that have never been penned - but I hope to bring them to print one of these days. Of course there could also be my ventings and vampings about the struggles that stretch me. Keep checking in as you never know what you'll find. There is always a subject to write about, but rarely the room in my life. This is a blog in flux....

Oh Yeah,  I'm a thirty-something mother of three (No four *) beautiful children whom I love immeasurably, struggle with continuously, and work/advocate for tirelessly (as I say that through the exhaustion).  Hmmm, it's interesting to hear myself say that I "work" for my children, but I guess I certainly do as a "stay-at-home" Mom.  Occasionally, I also care for other people's children in my home.  In addition, my own ADHD certainly makes it more of a challenge raising my two oldest - who struggle with behavioral and emotional disorders - as well as my toddler.  *My First Born, I await anxiously for the time when she is ready to meet me. Sometimes I feel like I'm running a three ring circus!  Hence, I seek moments of zen through the creative outlet of knitting.  I hope to put some of my favorite pieces here under a separate knit works tab...

BTW: Do any of you have an in on a thought to text "app" for my phone that I could sms or email directly to my blog? JK :/

I'd love to hear your feedback so leave a comment or better yet, subscribe and keep the energy flowen'!
