Hi there and welcome to my blog.  My name is Cynthia and I am a total country girl living in the city. Well, at the moment.  Lol. I am Blessed to be the wife to my best friend Brian of 18 years, a mom to 3 of my favorite people.

Here are a few of my passions that will be a lot of my topics on this blog;

• My Crazy Life
• Canning
• Gardening
• Chickens
• Health  (Being an RN and a survivor, I am totally into searching for new ways to become healthier)
• Guns/Shooting
• Animals of any kind
• Organizing
• Food Storage
• Couponing (newbie here) Living in California this is really hard!
• Self Reliance and Homesteading
• Living on a budget (yes I use the envelope system)

I enjoy living life and hope you enjoy taking these adventures with me.  Before I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in January 2010, I never cooked. Now I have a passion for cooking meals for my family, trying new recipes, making homemade bread, cheese, butter and more. If you have ideas to share I would love to hear them. I hope you stick around to share this adventure with me.
