Starting all over, You Tube and Bullies

Have you ever been at a crossroads in your life? You could choose to stay where you are, doing the same old thing, or you could choose to start all over again and cross your fingers that things will be better. My family and I have just started all over again and I'm really looking forward to what life is going to hold for us.
One of the changes is I've started making more videos on my You Tube channel and am really looking forward to making more. I want to look back and see what we were doing and also have a running video diary of our struggles so that my children can see life wasn't always easy but our love got us through. I wasn't sure I was going to continue making videos when a family member attacked me for "putting such private things all over the internet". I came so close to deleting my account and being done with it all. I came to the realization that I am no longer going to be bullied. These videos are for the people who care about us and if someone is offended by them they should just unsubscribe. I love the closeness of the mommy vlogging community and from now on, will just be focusing on the positive things in my life!

Ive never written a blog before but Ive read zillions of them. So to start maybe I should tell you some things about myself. My name is Amber and I am a mother of two beautiful children and TTC for number 3! I have a wonderful husband who works incredibly hard for us. I am a previous pediatric nurse turned stay at home mommy. I accidentally fell into natural parenting by just trusting my instincts and It just felt right. I guess I also did that with my family's diet of mostly local and organic foods. (Ill get more into all of that in another blog) I LOVE to bake and will post favorite recipes and how to's.

I'm turning 30 in a couple of days and I know that 30 isn't old, but I cant help but feel like a whole chapter of my life is over and I'm not sure I'm really ready for that. It feels like I spent so much time in the early parts of my twenties trying to grow up as fast as I could that I never really got the chance to enjoy it. I'm not saying I'm having a mid life crises or anything but this definitely is something that is really weighing on my mind. I would have thought I would have accomplished more by now or FEEL like more of a "Grown up". Am I supposed to be serious all the time now and stop having child like dreams of my future? Has anyone else ever had a hard time with turning 30 or am I just being crazy?
