Like many out there, I have decided to give this blog thing a try.  My little sister actually inspired me, though she blogs for a totally different reason... a better one.  She's raising awareness for Cystic Fibrosis, where as I'm just talking about life and cooking.

Quick little back story of me...
I'm a single mom of 4 and I've been blessed with the best children ever!  I recently became single once again and I've found myself diving into the internet.  I've been looking at anything and everything that might be good for my kids, myself, our house, and just our life in general.  Once thing that I noticed really brought a spark back into my life was cooking again and I'm not talking about Hamburger Helper cooking either. 

The one thing that has always kept the kids and I close is our meals.  Lately I've been slacking in that area and I can tell its affected the kids.  Time to dust myself off and get back in that kitchen.  At dinner time I make sure that TV's and other distractions are off, so that way we can all just focus on each other.  I've always cherished these moments, even from when I was a child.  I've developed a routine that not only do we eat together, but I also make everyone point out at least one good thing about their day.  That way it helps them see that you can always find something good, no matter what happens.

Wow I'm not sure how well I'm going to be at this blogging because I feel like I have rambled so much already.  Let me just sum it up.  My intentions for this blog is I've recently discovered Pinterest.  I've set a goal to cook every recipe I pin!  Sometimes in life the best part of the day can be stepping back in time and making a truly home cooked meal.  I will be keeping you updated about my recipes and discoveries...and probably throwing in some life as well.

I hope you enjoy because I'm already very excited!
