This is my first time blogging. I'm not quit sure what I wish to accomplish doing this, but it seemed to be a good idea at the time.

Let me begin by introducing myself.

My name is Helen Reynolds. I am 42 and the mother of two children. One is 23 and the other is 5.

Yes, I did type that correctly! Kristin is 23 and Brianna is 5. I love both of them very dearly.

I have lived in the same small southern town my whole life. I attend the same Catholic church my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents attended. I am a very traditional person. I believe in the same core values my ancestors believed. I don't like hypocrites, liars or thieves. And I believe everyone should be held accountable for there own actions.

I strive to live my life as God would want, although I tend to fall short - a lot! What can I say, I am human after all!

I  love to do things for my family and have a hard time saying no, even when I know I am stretching myself thin.

My life can get very hectic. Between a stressful job and school functions and home life, sometimes I am ready to just pull my hair out!

The name of my blog best describes how I try to live. KEEP IT SWEET and SIMPLE. I hope to share ideas that help me get through the good days and the bad. Easy ideas on cleaning, cooking, spending quality time with the family, etc. And just sharing my opinions on different topics.

I haven't cornered the market on these things, but I have learned a few things over the years. And anyone who has their own ideas are welcome to share them here.

I hope this turns into something great!

Trying to Keep It Sweet and Simple!
Helen
