The Normal Housewife...Finding my Place in the Crowd

So if any of you have followed some of my previous blog posts on a previous blog you are well aware of my issue with finding my niche. Some of you are wondering "What the heck does that mean?" Throughout the internet there are millions, if not billions, of pages like this, a woman with a family who is crafty and creative. But what makes me different? Well, honestly I don't know. I just hope that you find something here you enjoy. I kept thinking to myself "I have to do something different! What do I love to do!?!?" There are too many things that I love to do, so I've decided this blog will just be about my life. About my family and our struggles, about my craft projects and recipes...and their struggles, and sometimes just about life in general, maybe what's in the news, I don't know, but either way I hope you find something here that suits you. 

Many of you are probably asking "Who is this person and what is she talking about?!?!" I'm Lynzee, and all I strive to be is normal. Where's my white picket fence!!!! 

I grew up in a large and somewhat crazy family, maybe someday I will get into some of the dynamics, but long story short I am the youngest of 5 children, I was raised by my mother and step-father who treated me like I was his own, all of my siblings are much older than me, and I have more nieces and nephews that I can even count on a whim. We didn't have much, and I dealt with a lot growing up, including being broke and losing my step-father (who from now on will just be called my dad) at the age of 18, 2 weeks before my high school graduation, forcing me to become an adult...fast! So through all the struggles and chaos of life, all I want for my family (which consists so far of me, my husband, my toddler son, a cat and a dog) is to be "normal," or at least what I envision as normal. But mostly, I just want my family to be happy and live comfortably financial wise.

So that's it, that's me in a nutshell. Brace yourself for upcoming craft projects, great recipes (or at least I hope so), home improvement projects, financial posts (I would say tips, but realistically it will probably be me begging for help) and many other things. Wish me luck!

I'm going to put a question out there for everyone: What are some life lessons you've learned through struggles you've had in your past? How have they effected who you are today? That almost makes me sound like a teacher haha! For example, when my dad passed away he had no life insurance, and it was very unexpected. This put quite a burden on my mom and I. I never want my son or future children to go through something like that, so for me life insurance is a must! Ready? Go!
