Lets Try This Again...

Well, here I go again, back for another attempt at blogging!

Truth be told, I'd forgotten that I'd deleted my last blog, which I suppose is a testament to just how irregularly I used it...

I'm definitely making it my goal to do much MUCH better this time!

So who am I?
 I'm a California transplant living in Tennessee.

Although I've been a mommy for about 6 years, I've been enjoying life as a stay at home mommy for just over a year now- which rocks.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not living a life of ease.  Money is tight and I work hard to make the budget work.

But boy has it been worth it.  I love being a mommy...
I love crafting, cooking, and being with my kiddos.

Although I may not love cleaning, I do love having a clean house.

I love doing crazy things like making my own laundry detergent.

I loooove to cook and have enjoyed being an Allrecipes Allstar Brand Ambassador this year 

(btw I LOVE❤LOVE❤LOVE Allrecipes.com!)

I love coming up with fun things to do with the kids and watching their imaginations go crazy

I'm a bit of a nerd and absolutely ok with this fact

And I've recently attempted to overcome my brown thumb by starting a garden!

So, that's me in a nutshell!

Hopefully this is a place where I can share my adventures with you along the way!
