So When I began this blog- the idea was that I would document my journey to a "greener" lifestyle. As the working mom of 3 small children, I consume a lot of things based solely on the convenience factor. About a year ago- my husband and I purchased our new home. We more than doubled the square footage of our home and more than quadrupled the headaches!
We had quickly outgrown our "starter" home the day we found out we were having twins. I began scheming and "hint" dropping to my husband that I thought it was time we move. When he finally caved our troubles began- but there was no looking back- "bigger was better" and that was my mind set. Granted this was much different than the person I had been- but nonetheless- it was the person I had become. We biggered everything-our family, our vehicle, our house, our debt...
Then one day this spring- I became ill. It turns out I have Celiac- but the journey to that discovery has been long and at times - VERY frightening. During all the uncertainty I began taking time to reflect on our family- on where our emphasis really is- on the message we are sending to our children. I began to look inward and at risk of sounding cliche, I did not like what I saw.
So- here I am on a journey to simplify my life, our life, our children's life! To learn to enjoy the simple things in life again- a good meal, an evening catching lightening bugs with my son, a quiet conversation with my husband. The things that really matter- to me.
