Blog post number one... so here goes. My name is April, I'm a 33 year old mom to 3 wonderful kids and married to my best friend. We live on a small hobby farm of sorts with chickens, ducks, one dog,and two cats. I decided to start a blog ! So here we are. I love to talk to people , but live in the sticks so not many people to talk to. Granted my husband will sit and listen but really, I don't think he could really care to hear about the new "pin" I found, recipe I made, or next DIY I want to make. Not to mention he deffinitly doesn't want to hear about my "diet".The poor guy cringes at the words "low carb", "low cal", and "Gluten Free". To him any food low in anything is going to taste bad. Just don't tell him he has been eating low cal and low carb all week. So the need for this blog came about recently. I am diagnosed PCOS with insulin resistance. Due to a change in our health insuarnce I can't afford the meds I was on, plus really I've seen no difference since taking them. So while researching online the best possible way to battle PCOS without meds , I came across quit a few sites linking Gluten sesativites to PCOS. Which of course got me thinking. I started reading about symptoms of Gluten sesativity , then took a self test, and sure enough everything clicked. Out of the 39 symptom check list the test said to go though, I had checked off 21 of them!! So now I am on a quest to become Gluten Free, or at least try it out for the next 30 days and see what happens. In this blog, I plan to share my experiences while I battle PCOS, recipes, my journey to Gluten free, and everything else inbetween. Besides having health issues and wanting to share my journey, I would also love to share my DIY projects, gardeing, crafts, stories, and anything else I feel like sharing. Yes, I know to be a succesful blogger I should pic one topic and stick with it. Yeah well, I don't really care to be succesful. I am just looking for a way to "talk" with other and have fun doing it. So if you made it this far, Thank you ! If not, oh well. ;) Thanks for the visit and feel free to leave a comment if you would like.
