I have decided to start a blog.

This is a big step for me to go to a more public forum than the typical secure family website. I feel a blog is the next logical evolution in my Internet share site profession.

I have been inspired to blog on a theme. My understanding is there is no such thing as idly blogging anymore. In the past "my" theme was always my children and their various adventures. Yet, as my children get older and form their own identities and opinions, as well as, a certain amount of self consciousness it no longer feels appropriate to utilize stories related to their bathroom habits, most embarrassing episodes or even some of the private little moments they share with their father and I. Not to say I will totally abandon family tidbits. However, I think I will graduate to a more cohesive theme.

Thus, I timidly step out into the Internet left to pick my own topics to explore.

I have decided to attempt a family, health and gluten free living theme. This will not a "cooking" blog, as I am no cook. Yet, there have been people who want to know recipes or other GF families that want to share recipes, so I will include some of what we eat in the house in the form of recipes or online resources. I have found that some GF meals are more labor intensive, but are not all that different from their gluten counter parts.

I would ideally like to provide a peak into our family and our gluten free existence through stories, trouble shooting, short cuts, brand information, label grievances, recipes, on-line resources, book and restaurant reviews.

I hope to occasional offer a laugh, insight, education, article, book or simply something to read and criticize in your own home. I hope to gain writing experience and perfect my grammar to appease my in-laws ;-)

I have always loved sharing parts of my life and my family. Please read, laugh, comment, judge, but at least stop by on occasion. I will try to post updates and comprehensible blogs every week to every couple weeks.
