As an introduction to this blog, I have decided to start it for several reasons.  For one, I am horrible at keeping a journal, Two, I feel that writing down my journey may help me sort things out in my head.  Finally, I feel it will give me some sort of accountability.

With that being said, let me introduce myself and family.  My name is Melissa.  I am married to a wonderful man who takes care of me and our family.  Together we have 6 children...yes 6...1 boy and 5 girls ranging in age from 10 down to 4 months.  We live in the south/Midwest transplanted from the west coast.  We have lived all over the country and loved the experiences we have gained. 

I love to craft, cook, bake, decorate cakes, and sew.  We also homeschool 4 out of the 6 children (the other two are too young). Life is good and we love it.  As I get better at this blogging thing, I will reorganize this blog to make it more useful for me and anyone that happens to read it.  I am just still new to all of this.

So come join me on my journey through life of homeschool, cooking, getting healthy with possibly even some weight loss.  It will be a wild ride I promise.
