Welcome to my blog, where I document my adventures as a mom living and loving in the Midwest. I live on a budget (my fashion is based on clearance racks), eat pretty clean because of my thyroid (Hashimoto’s disease), stay home with my kids (who I love with all my heart, yet can often use a break from), and am finally getting back into writing (after years of forgetting it made me happy).
Why HeatherLand Stories? To me it simply combines my name with life in the heartland. Born and raised in the Midwest, I proudly live, love, and write, in the middle—middle child, middle America, middle class (mostly)—and tend share things that make my heart happy, and sad, and sometimes conflicted. Sure, some of my ideas and opinions find comfort near the edges, but for the most part I am just a woman who writes about simple days, love, parenting, gratitude, spirituality, thyroid issues, health, nutrition, tv, current events, news, living in a 100 year old house, laughter, sadness ... LIFE.
I can't promise a particular thread will weave it's way through my ramblings, but rest assured—I write from my heart. I get it right occasionally, I swerve of track at times, but mostly I aim to be true to myself. Sometimes when you have big feelings, it suits the soul to share them with the world.
Welcome to my blog, and thanks for joining me on this little adventure.
