Introduction

Well I suppose I am not really sure why I wanted to start a blog! I've always wanted to. It'd be like a dream come true to be a successful mommy blogger. Though I suppose the reality of that happening with the little amount of time I have in a day is slim to none! SO I figured I'm going to start anyways. Maybe it will bring some motivation and inspiration into my daily life. I do well with goals and aspirations. What better to inspire yourself right!? SO here we are :)

My thoughts for this blog -
 I am wanting this to just be about anything I want it to be about a recipe I loved, lessons of life I learned, a successful moms group night, my planer spread, organizational method I found and loved, and maybe some youtube videos I make. Daycare is a huge part of my life, I'm thinking lots of lessons and trials and accomplishments about that, or cool crafts. I just want it to be anything pertaining to my life and my world from my perspective. No one to impress just whatever is inspiring me at the moment. Maybe it will be health and weight loss or trying to conceive...... who knows..... we'll have to wait and see :)

A little about me-
I am Randi. I am the oldest of 5 kids. I grew up with just me and my sister in a smaller town in the south west metro area of Minnesota with our Mom and our Dad (technically step dad but he raised us as his own and the best dad EVER). My sister is 22.5 months younger than me and we are absolutely best friends. I'd call her my soul mate only shes my soul sister. I couldn't do life with out her! We have 3 half siblings living 4 hours away in South Dakota they are about 10 years younger than us and we love them to pieces!!! They are loves of my life as well. Speaking of Loves of my life I've been  with my husband since 2007 and married since 2010. I knew I had fertility issues so we started trying for a little bambino years before we were married and with the grace of God leading me to a doctor that hooked me up with the right drugs we conceived Bryn in  2012. We found out I was pregnant 1 week after moving into our first house. She was Born in February 2013. We've been naturally trying for number 2 since August 2014. Thats another post another day. We also have 3 cats. Yep I'm a crazy cat lady!! I am a lover of all animals actually. But funny enough I'm not into the icky maintenance of animals. My husband does the litter box ;) I used to volunteer for a local rescue and found out I am slightly scared of dogs I don't know well!! I couldn't believe it! I also volunteered for the Rabit Society (local rabbit rescue) Yep not into picking up prey animals that don't know me and try to bite me while I clean their poop! I commend all volunteers! I hope one day I can do my animal rescue community well and volunteer again. But for now I will keep my memories :) I also am a daycare provider. This was my dream job!!! My entire life I said when I have kids I'm going to open an in home daycare. Well I did that. When my daughter was 7 months old. It was  the hardest job transition of my LIFE! I was so naive. I thought it would be rainbows and lollipops. Nope it was super duper hard!!! Ive been at it over 3 years now, and I love it! But boy oh boy did I learn a lot along the way! Again that will be another post another day ;) I am new to coordinating a moms group for my church and I am loving it! I am always on a journey to better my life and improve as a person. I've been through a lot of ups and downs (just like everyone else) and I'm hoping I can learn from my journey and share those lessons and be an inspiration to others. I want more than anything to good in my life and make God proud! I am sinner of course. I struggle to stay on a righteous path, but I hope I will only grow stronger along the way!

So anyways that's me in a nutshell and here's a few pictures of my family :) Photo Credit to my amazing photographer (my sister! I'm lucky I know) www.tgbphotography.com
