It' been a hard year and to top it all off...I found out my youngest needs to be Gluten Free. This is a whole new world. To anyone who doesn't have food allergies/intolerance's...Be Thankful! I can't believe how expensive "special" dietary products are. I am, however, so grateful that there are so many people out there who have chosen to share their trials and triumphs. I am still learning so much but in the process I am finding out that going Gluten free is going to be better for my whole family, not just the little one. I have started reading The Gluten Connection and reviewing many endless blogs and websites. One of my favorite blogs is the Gluten Free Goddess, I have tried a few of her recipes and my whole family has loved them! I am, however, looking for more recipe sites. I want to try other recipes! If you've tried any that you like...please share.

- Besides being a mom, taxi, tutor, chef, maid and storyteller I like to scrapbook and read. I love taking my kids to different events and am always looking for new recipes to try. Leave me a note or comment or even a recipe.
About Me
All joking aside and without any 'original' excuses I return to the blog. In my absence, I have found that many things in life can provide dead ends, pot holes, speed bumps or detours on the road we all think we are on. Most of the time we drive too quickly and end up at a dead end without even knowing how we got there only to reflect and realize that we missed our turn. It's at this point that we are forced to turn around, drive slower and pay attention.
With that said, I have spent much of this year adjusting to my new life...one as a single mom. It's had it's ups and downs to say the least but I'd have to say that the kids have never been happier.
This next year I plan to focus on me! Wow, me, really?!?! Some would say that I am selfish or that I won't be a good mom and I have struggled with whether or not to feel guilty but in the end I know that I cannot, no matter how hard I try, be a good mother if I am not well. So it is with you, lucky readers, that I plan to not only share my thoughts but links, recipes and new found adventures on my road to a new me. I hope that you will begin to share your thoughts, ideas and stories with me too!
So say goodbye to 2009 and HELLO 2010!!!
