Hello my friends!
It is so exciting to see how many new friends have found my blog and started following me over the past month!
I thank you for sharing my posts on Pinterest, HomeTalk and Instagram…
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know I have been pretty honest about how this ‘ole blog came to be.
I was a pretty sick chick battling my way back from what we now know is Lupus run amuck combined with Sjogren’s Syndrome. One struggle that continues is my diet. It is a constant battle to find foods I like, that are healthy and don’t upset my delicate-like-a-flower system.
We are just a few weeks away from heading Up North (Northern Michigan for those of you not familiar with that phrase!) for the rest of the summer.
Here’s our view of Little Traverse Bay from the porch:
I know right?
Last year I ended up having a relapse during our pilgrimage north because I didn’t plan my healthy, gluten-free meals ahead of time. Not smart. While Traverse City is definitely a foodie town (Mario Batali and his orange crocs call TC home in the summer too), it is also a very healthy town. Lots of farmer’s markets and natural food stores.
I’m determined to take advantage of that and avoid a relapse this year y’all!!
While not everyone lives with a fun pair of autoimmune diseases, I know some of you are just trying to be extra cautious and adopt a healthy lifestyle. So I thought you might be interested in some of the great sites I’ve found to help me plan a few new menus.
