All About Liz

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am so excited for you to be part of my journey!  I, like you, have many different journeys that I am going on, all at the same time! As my best friend, Camilla,  said, she and I love to live in chaos! Scratch that, we thrive in chaos! I do my best when I have a lot of responsibilities to manage! I keep myself busy as a (happily) stay at home mom, caretaker of my mom who lives with us, college student, volunteer, Girl Scout leader, among many other titles! I am super focused on being healthy so I can live an active, long life with my family and friends! I am an avid book reader! I squeeze in studying so I can earn by Bachelors Degree in Social Psychology in hopes of earning my National Certification as a Recreational Therapist! I love tree-breathing by walking in the woods with my dog, Buttercup! I love going on adventures with my family around the Austin area!

So why the blog? Why delve into the world of blogging? Well because honestly I get REALLY excited about different things and I want a platform to share with people! I happily borrow amazing ideas from other people and want to be able to share these ideas with others! Plus, if I can make a buck or two from selling some amazing products or from advertisements, well that is just bonus! Because honestly, who couldn't use a few extra bucks?

So more to who I am. I am a proud Army Brat (Dad served over 30 years). I graduated High School in Frankfurt, Germany which no doubt shaped a lot of who I am. I attended (not graduated) SouthWest Texas State University. From there, I had a variety of jobs in Austin, the longest one introduced me to my awesome husband, Jon.  Jon and I married in October 2005. In November 2007 we welcomed our first amazing daughter, Grace,  into the world and a mere 15 months later we welcomed our second daughter, Caroline, completing our Phelan Phamily!  We currently have 2 dogs and three cats living with us who are without a doubt a huge part of our family.

My goal of my blog is to share a variety of different topics with you. I want to share my health journey in hopes of inspiring others to take steps to improve their health! I am SUPER PASSIONATE about Girl Scouts as a I am leader of 18 girls ranging from kindergarten to 5th grade (Daisy, Brownie, Junior)! I am also crazy passionate about strong and courageous women and want to share these women with you (in hopes you can share with others!)! I also love essential oils and Doterra  and a variety of their products and want to share what I use. My dad passed away in January 2016 from Alzheimer's so I want to share my journey in hopes it might help others. Unfortunately Mom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's as well (yes - very scary for me!). Lastly, I LOVE exploring Austin and the surrounding areas with my family and want to share our adventures.

I welcome any positive feedback you have to share with me! I definitely welcome to hear stories about your journeys!

Off we go!
