About Me

Hello- I know you have an important Job you are taking care of someone in your life. Thanks for stopping by. I am just a girl who loves God and my family. I have been blessed with the opportunities to be the caregiver to my parents and grandma. I thought I would share some of my experiences with you. I hope that they will be helpful, entertaining, and informative. If you are caring for a loved one I hope that you can find some ideas and encouragement through my posts.

In 2009 my mom who was struggling with diabetes was hit hard with failing health. She lost her eyesight and her kidneys within a year. She had to start Dialysis and living a new kind of life. For awhile my dad was able to manage taking care of her during the day while I was working but eventually that became to much. I had to change the way I lived to better be able to care for both of my parents.

Changing my life came with a lot of challenges, trial and error, and confusion. Its a whole new world being a full time caregiver and I know that many people are in the same world. I think taking care of loved ones is one of the most important things you can do on this earth. While I have struggled over the years trying to keep my head above water I came to realize that since there is so many people trying their best to care for someone maybe I could share my experiences and Ideas maybe just maybe it will make it a little easier for someone else to figure things out so they can concentrate on spending time and experiencing life with their loved ones.

I am a daughter of some amazing parents who gave me so much and now is my time to give back to them. I am a devoted child of God. I love nature and being outside either by being out in the garden, camping, fishing or hiking. I love my animals and am always trying to find new ways to improve their lives. I have adult ADHD so I am always up to something which can lead to some interesting things to write about.
