Everyday is a fresh start...

Starting again. 
As an older single mom raising two children (of the awesome variety) in a small town, my life has been peppered with fresh starts.  Each time, like you, I want life to be better for my family.  I search it, I test it (well sometimes I do this step), I play (experimenting can be good), I work at it (this one can take a long time).
In anycase, fresh starts are about improving getting better.  I used to write in a journal, the odd newspaper article and even dabbled in fiction.  I have been too busy the last several years to take another stab at writing regularly.  But now my two children are a bit older (ds is 15, dd will be 11 shortly) and I seem to have small windows of opportunity, sometimes peep holes, sometimes picture windows.
This blog is intended to be my documentation of an ongoing journey.  Be forewarned!  I have many interests!  From cooking/baking, nutrition, gardening, self sufficiency, spiritual pursuits, singing at my church, casual fashion, my children's sports (soccer and hockey) and schooling to interior decorating and creating spaces outside.  My list expands or shrinks as the schedule permits.  Hmmm.... I bet that sounds like some of you!
I have several projects on the go right now (doesn't everybody?).  I am knitting dish cloths for myself, vegetable gardening, trying to come up with a nice looking edible landscape for my front yard, self employed (a cleaning business), manager for my son's competitive soccer team.  Both my children play soccer and hockey.  Don't worry, I know I've missed some, but hey, everyday is a fresh start....
I'll fill you in some more as we travel life together  :)
