New journey

This blog is going to be about my life and about things that happen in my every day adventures as a foster mom/ nana.  I hope  to share some of the funny, touching, loving, sadness, upsetting, uplifting things that happen in our family. 

A new journey is beginning in my life today.  I have decided that after 35 years to quit smoking and have also started on the Keto Diet all at the same time.  So we shall see how this works. 

As many of you know I am  a full time foster mom and I currently have 8 kids in my home. 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10,, 13, and 16 yr olds.  A sibling group of 5 and a sibling group of 3.  Lets just say life is always fun in our home!   Plus I keep my wonderful awesome grandkids each day who are 4, 5, and 7 yrs old.  So this may not be an easy task ahead of me.  That is why I figured I would start blogging about my life,hopefully it will keep me on the up and up ,and keep me from giving in to the desire to smoke and eat things I shouldn't.  I am determined to do this because I know I am not as healthy as I need to be and this is some of the first steps I need to take to get healthy.  I deserve it and so do my Kids!  

The bible verse I am going to keep saying to help me get through this journey I am beginning is one of my all time favorites.  Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

 Here is a pic of me as of today, I am posting it so you can see where my Journey begins and where it ends up over time.  In this pic I am 220 lbs 5' 6" tall.  (can't believe I am sharing my weight with the world) but I figure it will keep me honest and help keep on track.
