Hills and Valleys

Welcome to my blog! I'm very new at this, so please bear with me as I learn the ropes.

I want this blog to cover all the aspects of my life that I feel are post-worthy. Some things I plan to share are good deals, favorite places to get groceries, favorite products, new discoveries, fun family activities, and recipes.

I'm a young momma with a son (4 years) and daughter (9 months) and I love it. We are planning to homeschool, but so far we are just doing preschool/pre-K with our son, so there's not a lot of curriculum involved yet.

To describe my title, Hills and Valleys, I feel like life is full of these. I specifically seem to feel this a lot with my diet. I love food. I mean, I really love food. Some of the things I cook and bake are my attempts to gain back some of the comfort food I lost when I bade farewell  to cheese, milk, butter, and "real" flour.  I struggle a lot with convenience and practicality when it comes to cooking. My husband and son still eat somewhat normal food as far as lunches and breakfasts go, but when we have family meals, they're GFCF. Dining out is truly a special occasion because there aren't many places in our area where I can safely eat. Instead, we tend to have "take-out fake-out" nights where we replicate a special dish that I can't have at restaurants. Those are my favorite nights...especially when my wonderful hubby cooks. :)
