There's a first time...

for everything! And here it is, first blog entry on my first blog.

I just wanted to share that this blog is a place I plan to share everything (within reason, of course) about me, my life and history, and my hobbies. I invite you to join in and share with me to, should you feel so inclined. I don't know how often I will be able to update right now (I am shooting for every few days)...I am the busy mother of 4 year old "E" and 18 month old "P". Not to mention wife to my wonderful husband, Kevin. So I will be getting the hang of this for a little while and encourage you to bear with me.

I have been struggling with, but overcoming and conquering, PPD (postpartum depression) for the last 18 months. I have just weaned off my PPD meds THIS week. (If you would like me to go into more detail about PPD, the meds, or the weaning, please just ask. I'll share because if one woman doesn't have to go through what I went through, it was all worth it!) I feel great now, I am so excited to say!! I found some wonderful, creative ladies on youtube that introduced me to "mini" albums and I LOVE them. I am totally hooked. I feel like one of the reasons that I am doing as well as I am is this new-found outlet.

So this is my blog and I plan to talk about anything and everything but mostly the simple stuff, like crafting and my kids! :) Please join me on my new ride.
