So I am going answer one of the questions that was posted on the coarse home page
"How is school influencing your life at or up to this point?


School has definitely had a big influence on my life.  In high school I never really tried hard, our school was less then 10 minutes from the beach and that always seemed like the better choice then going to school.  I started college for a few months in business management but it was really boring to me, plus I was 18 and lived on my own and didn't always make it to school.  So now here I am 6 years later and decided that I needed to do something with my life that was gonna benefit me and my family in the long term.  My boyfriend is a chef and I developed a love for good and living and eating healthy.  I realized that maybe I could use my knowledge of food and start school to learn more about what I have a passion for.  School can be stressful at times but I have not given up, I try really hard and have made the deans list my first two semesters and working for it in my third.  I have learned so much already and am excited to learn more as time goes on.  Not only will the field I am going into help me in my career but it is also helping me in my personal life as well.  I am always using the information I learn to help my family live healthier lives.

Best place to move

So we have been trying to decide if we want to move again and where would be the better place for us and our children.  I have grown up in Naples, FL beautiful place to live with beautiful beaches.  The only problem is my boyfriend is in the restaurant industry and Naples is very seasonal.  Restaurants in the summer are very slow until about November when all of the tourists come down.  Summers are rough because hours get cut and work and it can be rough financially.  My boyfriend has been in Orlando about 3 hours away looking for a job for the past month and has found nothing, I have been staying in Cape Coral with my parents till he gets back this weekend.  So the question is where is going to be the most beneficial place for us and our children? I love Naples but it is very pricey to live there.  So we may just go back to our house in Naples and see what happens when the restaurant industry picks up.  I am glad my children are young and are not in school yet so we can take this time and figure out the best place to raise them.

Halloween!!

Time to get ready for Halloween!! My kids have been talking about Halloween and the costumes they want since July and now the week is finally here to decorate and buy costumes.  I love Halloween, I think its such a fun holiday especially with young children.  We are going to buy costumes this weekend which should be fun with 3 1/2 year old twins and a 22 month old.  They are changing their minds every week, my daughter wants to be Snow White, Dora, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast.  My son wants to be  the Incredible Hulk, and Spiderman.  (should be interesting).  We are also going to be baking Halloween related desserts, I saw cute cupcakes with Halloween themed frosting at Publix.  My favorite thing is carving pumpkins..the kids help clean it out and we bake the pumpkin seeds, then I carve it into something cool.  We are going to have a very fun and eventful weekend..cant wait!!
