Mother Knows Best

Welcome! This is my first blog and am excited to join the blogging community. It is my hopes to share with you my DIY lifestyle and help you learn new ideas to make life easier, put some money in the bank and feel amazing by developing new skills! While I know many ways to do it myself, I love learning new experiences and techniques and wish to share with you my journey with successes and struggles.

I am a mother of one beautiful, two and a half year old son, and two gorgeous dogs, as well as a wife to a wonderful, loving husband! I am a stay at home mom and I struggle with borderline personality disorder. If you are unfamiliar with this illness then click here to be directed to a website to help explain it. This will open a new window so don't worry about leaving my page!

A little more back story about my life as a borderline, I found out about it by the age of 20 after many visits with doctors to find out what was wrong with me. Finally after an episode involving too many anti-anxiety medications, one doctor realized that I had much more then severe anxiety.  Currently I am helping myself stay stable with some mild medications and extensive research, therapy and groups. I prefer not to be on medications, however, now that I have a child in my life I must do what is best for him first!

Enough with the sad, seriousness and on to more useful things! I prefer not to continue on about myself but I do want to help get the disorder recognized and understood so every so often I'll mention something about it, other then that it'll be resourceful information to help you lead an easier, frugal lifestyle. 

First off meet my son Lincoln,


He loves helping around the house! I truly hope he keeps this up but I highly doubt it. Next up is my husky!

As you can see, he is my sons favourite. My other dog is a mix breed labordoodle cockerspaniel.

My prince charming!
and of course myself!


Now that you have met my family I hope to meet yours! Please tell me about yourself as well so I can know who I'm talking to!

I hope you enjoy what I have to offer and let me know if there's anything specific you want to know about!

Love,
   Mother Gumption
