People have told me throughout the better part of my adult life that I should write a book because my life is crazy……….I am pretty sure they mean “certifiable long white jacket that ties in the back CRAZY” but after a really long road trip and LOTS of time to think, I decided I would write a blog.  If you have read this far then pat yourself on the back because I am pretty sure no one else has made it to the point 🙂

So, what makes my life so crazy??  I’m not really sure…..I have the “luck of the irish” (look it up on Wikipedia and that will tell you a LOT about me and I am not referring to the gold part of that equation), I have a FREAKISHLY large dysfunctional family that absolutely puts the FUN in dysfunction and perhaps a few relatives (by marriage doesn’t count right??) in prison, I LOVE food and consequently it loves me back to the tune of 25 extra pounds, I have 5 amazing boys (3 of which I raised and 2 that are a part of this crazy town) and I was lucky enough to marry the man of my dreams 2 weeks ago yesterday…….

The last few years have been a doozy but this year especially has so many POSITIVE changes that have already happened and a couple more that are guaranteed to get another relative or 2 thrown in prison but also will make me the happiest woman ALIVE (and for the love of all that is Holy, NO!  I am not pregnant)….This year promises to be the wackiest and most incredible journey that I am going to be on and if you are reading this and I know you then count yourself as someone who I carry around in my heart ALL of the time.  If I don’t know you personally and you are reading this then take a moment, bow your head and thank Google and/or the WordPress Gods for directing you my way.

It is my goal to share my heart, mind and soul with you and also share some of the things that I love.  As I said before, I LOVE food, I LOVE my family and I LOVE my life.  I will get into WAY more detail with each blog……Can’t share anymore or this blog will be over before it gets started……more to come soon!

Take care of yourself, each other and BE SAFE!  XOXOXO
