Introduction This blog is inspired by the desire for a record of the first year of my child's life. I don't have the greatest memory, and I want to have a place to record all the little things that I will forget as I become a new mom, and as my little baby grows into a man. I want to blog daily to be sure and capture it all. I have a wide range of interests that i am pretty passionate about. The name of the blog comes from the struggle I have with finding balance among them all.
Interests investing in my family and friends, serving God, sewing, crafting, gardening, running, hiking, backpacking, health/ wellness (whole food Mediterranean diet style), making people's worst days better, self sufficient living as a family (most people call this green or sustainable living, but those come with stereotypes that I don't fit), parenting (probably with techniques such as Montessori in the home, attachment parenting, and love and logic style discipline) unmedicated child birth (I am preparing, but we'll see how it really goes), cloth diapering
Favorite Books The Bible, specifically Romans.
