A Few Goals...

I hope that you all had a very Happy Easter, spent with family and good friends. :) Ours was good. It was a nice relaxing day, after having quite a busy day, Saturday.

Anyway, I wanted to share a few goals that I have and hope to share along the way in this new blog.

• I want to start making more homemade foods, rather than the processed foods that we buy from the grocery store. In this way, I will know what types of ingredients are going into our foods and in many ways, this will be healthier for all of us. Plus, homemade dinners usually taste much better than processed, boxed or frozen types of dinners. Don't you agree?
• I want to get a little more creative through different types of projects. These projects may be sewing projects, projects to decorate our home and maybe even some projects that we could use as gift ideas. I have many ideas floating around in my brain right now, that I would love to attempt. At the moment, I have been sewing a jean purse, with lining. It is coming along, but it is not finished yet. I am sewing it by hand, since I do not own a sewing machine at the moment. This makes it a little trickier, because I want it to look nice, of course. But it feels good to be using some of my creativity. :)
• At some point, I hope to live in a place where we can start our own vegetable garden. It would be great to grow some of our own veggies and fresh herbs. It requires a bit of hard work, but the benefits of fresh veggies and herbs would make it well worth the effort put forth. :)

These are a few of the goals that I have and want to share in this blog, through my words and through photographs. So please, stay tuned. :) 

My Life

                                                           
Last Sunday, our youngest son, who lives at home with us, spent the weekend at a friend's house, so my husband and I decided to go out to eat and have a few drinks. We don't get to do this too often, so it was really great. This is a photo from that night. It makes me smile everytime I look at it. :)

My husband, Tony is my whole life..well him and our 4 sons. When he is not here with me, I feel like only half of a person. Together, we are whole. He never fails to make me smile and I can talk to him about anything. We are best friends, as well as husband and wife.

I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband. He is always there for me, making me smile, giving me a shoulder to cry on, listening to me when I really need to talk and giving me helpful advice. He is everything to me. I could not imagine my life without him, nor would I want to.

A Little About Me

Hi, my name is Kim and I am still quite new to blogging, although I did try my hand at a cooking type of blog. I decided that I wanted to expand my blog, so that I could include different aspects to it, as well. I want to be able to share my thoughts, opinions, ideas, projects, recipes, and photographs. As you may have read in my introduction, I am 46 years old, but I don't feel like I should be that age already. Most people who are my age, probably feel this same way. Time just seems to fly by way too quickly.

• My husband
• My sons
• God
• Our pets
• Cooking & baking
• Sewing
• Creating new things 
• Photography
• Writing (hence the blog)
• Reading

I also love to listen to good music and watch good movies. Some of my favorite tv shows at the moment include "Walking Dead," "Sons of Anarchy," "The Big Bang Theory," "Rules of Engagement," "Hell's Kitchen," and "Master Chef," to name a few. I also enjoy playing video games. Yes, you read that right..I am a gamer, regardless of how old I am. Some of my favorite games are the Assassin's Creed series, Resident Evil series, Left 4 Dead series, Bioshock series, Guitar Hero and Rock Band games and so on and so forth. :) 

I went to college, online for 3 or 4 years and graduated, summa cum laude with a B.A. degree in Psychology. See, I was hoping to use this degree to find a job helping victims of domestic violence (which I feel is way too prevalent in today's society), maybe even someday run a safe house for these victims. This has not come to pass, as of yet, but who knows what the future holds in store.

Anyway, that is a little about me.
