It's a New Year....

It's a new year, what are you doing to be better, wiser and healthier in 2012?

After a visit with my dr last month, I have been doing some soul searching and have decided that I need to make more time for myself and be a healthier me.  My health has issues and being overweight isn't helping at all.  I have fibromyalgia and it can be daunting hauling myself around for a walk only to know that the next day I'll be tired, but I KNOW that I need to do it for my health and after talking to the dr, I will be starting walking more every day. My dog, Isis, would love it I'm sure, so I am going to try to walk more.  I will be using www.sparkpeople.com (my user name is goldeneyez1 if you want to find me) and will be blogging as I go.  I am hoping that by losing some weight and adding some exercise, my health will get better, my fibro will get better so that I can finally do more of the things I want to do. Like sewing!! : D

So are any of you up for a challenge? Are you wanting to become healthier and have buddies who will motivate you?  I am here, will be challenging myself and hopefully you will be along for the ride!

There are some changes coming to Our blog!

I have decided to add some different things to our blog. Since Scrap'N'Play is a family run blog and soon to be store, we will  also be adding some things that may be of interest to other parents.

To explain this, my youngest son, Joey, is 8  yrs old and is high functioning autistic, with many other health issues, including muscle weakness, speech and language issues to name a few. In the upcoming posts, you  may see some blurbs about sites and other things I have found to be of interest to us and pass them along to others. My daughter. Meg, will be 18 this month and has Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism and some learning difficulties. With this, I will be adding some facts about Type 1 diabetes, and the other issues to helps people learn what to watch out for, etc.

I will also be adding some of our food and recipes as we try to eat in as much as we can because we have so many food related issues in our house that it's hard to find restaurants that we are able to eat at. :-( 

If there is anything you would like to read in upcoming blog posts, please don't hesitate to email or comment and I'll try to add it to another post. As well if you come across any site that may be of interest, please send it along too.

These are pictures of the Ball and Chain key chains I made for my brother and his new wife.  The silver one is hers and will have birthstones of the kids.  His is more manly lol  I'm thinking of offering something similar on my Etsy site.  What do you all think?  I like how they turned out.
