About Me

Hi. 

I'm Rayna

-I'm a freshman in college living on a ranch in a small country town with all kinds of animals with my family. 

-I'm an avid list maker which you'll see below.

-I was diagnosed with Systemic lupus erythematosus {autoimmune disease} about 2 months after my 17th birthday which I talk about from time to time on here.

-I also discovered I have a dairy sensitivity so I'm trying to limit the amount of dairy products I use and consume, though I make a lot of dairy-filled recipes for family and co-workers.
- I could easily live off of green beans, sweet potatoes, spinach, and apples for the rest of my life.

Things I love..

• Baking
• Animals (big cats, horses, and pit bulls are the top 3 favs)
• hand raising orphaned baby animals -Yes, I miss a lot of sleep because of getting up every few hours for feeding, but watching them grow up to be healthy adults and knowing you are the reason for it makes it all worth it. 

• Photography
• Spoken Word Poetry 
• DIY projects
• country music, mostly Texas Red Dirt
• strong coffee
• dark chocolate with sea salt
• cowboy boots 
• crocheting
• Autumn/Fall 
• tattoos
• roasted green beans with broccoli florets {my go-to dinner for myself}

-I have a love/hate relationship with my blog. Sometimes I love writing and sharing posts, but I get in a rut and not inspired to write or share anything.

My dad has Frontotemporal Dementia (its form of Dementia; somewhat like Alzheimer's) He has been diagnosed for about 7 years now. He turned 52 this year. He is my main "guinea pig" when it comes to trying out new recipes, especially if they have "sugar" or "chocolate" in the ingredient list.
