About the Author

My name is Susan, but I blog as “SimplyMe”.  I am a happily married Christian mom from Ohio.  I was blessed with two beautiful Children, well not so little anymore, my daughter is 18 and my son is 16.  I am remarried and blessed again with a Stepson who is 20.  I learned that being a step parent isn’t for wimps!

I have four adorable pets, all of them are cats, Whisper, Misty, Twinkle and Raskal.  Believe it or not the names certainly fit them!  Especially Twinkle and Raskal, Twinkle has beautiful big eyes and Raskal is, well as you can guess a “stinker”.

I am a homemaker, and have been for the past 10 years.  With being a caregiver to my Father who is 66 with COPD, Emphysema and advanced stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis, and my son attending school online from home, my days are very busy indeed.

I am a Christian and was Baptized 11 years ago!  It was awesome, at the time I was a single parent and the Lord really did take care of us.  It was a moving experience for my children to see as well.  Since remarrying and moving to where I live now, I had to leave my Church back home.  I missed them dearly each and every day.

I enjoy blogging, scrap booking, reading, playing games on the computer or the Nintendo Wii, cooking/baking, listening to music and really love country music!  I am a country girl at heart.

I wish we lived in an area where I could have a nice big size garden, as I love to do canning.  Nothing better then home grown goodness to serve up for dinner.  I love to wake up and be able to go and sit on my front or back porch on a porch swing and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the beauty of the sun rising and looking out into the beautiful work for which God created…..and how beautiful the image is in my mind.

I have been blogging for about three years now.  I have a personal journal where I blog about the sweet and sticky moments of life, a scrap booking blog where I share my digital layouts, and a general blog where I can go and just talk politics if I want without causing a huge debate.  This blog came about because I wanted to have a place to come and share things without worrying about offending others.  Those who like to visit my blog are welcome.  I have never hidden the fact that I am a Christian and have met people with many different beliefs.

Being a stay at home mom and us being a one car family, I spend most days behind the same four walls.  One can only cook and clean so much!!  So my blogs are my home away from home and if i need to escape to vent, or listen to music, or share a moment, a laugh or a tear I can!!  Blogging has been a proven sanity saver.  I have been very fortunate to meet a few wonderful folks online, but trust me I have met more not so nice people, those who pretend to be your friend to use you and then kick you aside when you no longer are an asset to them.  But I value the friends I have to date and became friends with them each with their own unique way!

I thank you for visiting today and hope you enjoy your stay!
