Balance with Babies Reboot Edition

So... I tried out this blogging thing and then life happened.  Kind of ironic since the whole theme of this blog is finding a "balance".  Here we are a year and a half later and not only do I have a new understanding of what "balance" means but that comes with grappling a new understanding of our world's "balance" or lack there of.

I keep coming back to the blog idea because I have found myself relying of my old tried and true favorite blogs.  I love the positivity they give me in a time when that's hard to find.  I love the regularity and predictability of reading other people's journeys.  So with that being said, I'm trying this again.

Post COVID objectives for this site is to share the ways I am finding balance within this ever-changing, increasingly stressful life.  Since COVID erupted I am discovering new ways to save money, finding creative and engaging moments to teach my own children, pursuing new revenue streams, and diligently looking for beauty at a new pace in life. Join me!

So, tomatoes are my thing.  No, really.  Like practically the only thing I grow.  There are many reason for that: 1) First and definitely foremost, my family.  I grew up in a small apartment in Los Angeles.  I dreamed of playing in a yard, having a dog, and more importantly having a garden.  In the summer I would go back to New York and stay with my Italian grandmother for a week or so.  My grandmother was everything you would picture from a stereotypical, New York, Italian grandmother.  We had to eat and pretend we were enjoying every bite of our food, love each other, and help out in her garden.  She basically only grew tomato plants, and lots of them.  This was important to her because, during the depression era that was our family's way to survive.  Grow lots and lots of tomatoes, make sauce with them, and can it for the basement.  I loved being part of that.  So much so, that I even tried growing tomatoes when I got back to my apartment in boxes my mom got from selling Avon on
