My name is Inger (but most people online knows me as Soto), I am 34 years old. Married for 9 years and we have a wonderful son, Benyamin, who is 5 years old.
I have many hobbies, but most recently I have gotten interested in digital scrapbooking. I have been making Incredimail stationery and signature tags for years, and digi scrapping is really not that different, just more personal. It is fun making pages from pictures of my family.
I am owned by 3 dogs, 9 cats (all outdoor cats) and about 50+ bettas. I love my critters. And I will of course eventually share some pictures of my furry and scaly friends ;)
I am a stay at home mom. And I home school our son. We do not trust our public eduactional system in this area, so we decided to try our hand at home schooling. It is fun and not terribly hard. Luckily Ben is still young, and I am sure that eventually we will have to find another solution so he can get a good education. But right now home schooling works for us.
Ben is an extremely bright kid, and already well ahead of kids his own age. He reads as well as a 2nd grader. He loves history and geography. Math is not so good and neither is writing. But since he is ahead in other subjects we can spend more time on math and writing when time comes. He is only 5 years old and I dont feel we need to push or pressure him right now. I am sure someone will disagree, and I accept that. As long as you also accept our decision.
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (FMS), but as of right now I am not so sure that is the correct diagnosis. And until I am 100% that the dr's have it right I am not going to start taking the various meds they prescribed. I don't feel like getting addicted on anti-depressants or stong pain medications. So I am going to try a different approach to all this. Change of diet, vitamins and herbs, and other alternatives. We will see with time how this goes. And of course that is what my Wellness Diary is all about.
Food is one of my favorite things LOL. Not a great cook and I really dont like cooking at all. But I will be sharing some of my favorite recipes here at my Blog. Should be fun!
And of course humor is the best medicine. So with that in mind I hope to share some jokes and funny pictures as well. The kind we all receive in our email ALL the time. Should you need a laugh then you will know where to come :)
The past few years I have been very involved with Incredimail, Tag creations, and Yahoo groups. But honestly the past few months I have just gotten sick of all that. I dont believe it is just me. You can tell by the participation levels in the groups that other people just dont have the same enthusiasm any longer either. So I have cut way back on groups. I dont really create much any longer either. It was fun while it lasted, but I think time has come to move on.
In short, this blog is for all my various hobbies (that changes all the time), about my family, about my ups and downs, and what ever else tickles my fancy at the moment.
Always feel free to comment on my posts, but please keep it light as this blog is one thing I dont want to turn into a chore.
Have fun, and come back often!
