About Me

Hi! My name is Kim.  I am 29 years old and live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.  I work as a full time nanny and absolutely love my job.  I love working out, baking, and being outdoors. 

 I am still kinda new to blogging but I am really enjoying it!  I am finally in recovery from an eating disorder that controlled my life for over 15 years.  I thought blogging would be a good way to show some progress I have been making.  You may find things like new foods I have been trying, recipes, daily eats, exercise stuff, thoughts and struggles I deal with, and who knows what else.  It will be a nice way to keep me accountable of my recovery as well.  I can look back and see how far I have come with my food, exercise, and over all happiness!

You will also find a lot of posts about my job as a nanny.  Things I do with the kids, fun activities, crafts and recipes we do together, and just the fun life of a nanny.  Who knows? Maybe it will make you want to change careers!

I got married in June 2012 to my wonderful husband Jim.  He is super supportive in everything I do and I love him!

 We have a super crazy puggle named Sadie who loves to give kisses.

Also two crazy kittens, Satchmo and Ella.

I love challenging myself with hardcore workouts and races.  I did my first triathlon a couple years ago and had such a blast!  I am learning how to make working out more of a hobby instead of a chore.  I always have enjoyed it, but as I got further into my eating disorder, it became a necessity and lost some of the fun.  Exercise is a passion of mine because I like the way it makes me feel physically and mentally, not because I need to look a certain way.

I love baking as well.  My parents own a cookie bakery so I learned how mix, scoop, and taste test at an early age.  I like to experiment with different recipes, make changes, add different ingredients, and just have fun with it.  Baking is also more enjoyable since being in recovery.  I will actually allow myself to taste some of the goodies I create!! ED would have had nothing to do with that!

Well, that's me in a nutshell.  I hope you check back and see how things are going.

Feel free to contact me with any questions anytime!
