About SFG

Hi there! Welcome!

My boy and I, April 2012

Oh my goodness I'm so excited you decided to stop by! Well forgive the remodeling, and the dust around here while I figure this whole Blog thing out.

I'm Kisha, or the "SunflowerGal"  - which most of my friends know is because I absolutely adore sunflowers. They are featured throughout my entire home, and I generally grow them every year. Except this year, but more on why that is another time.

A little about me, well lets see. I'll try to keep this light and airy.  So I've been blogging at this site since about 2005, but never have really determined a 'direction' for my blog to go. It's been a combination site for recipes, fun things I find on the internet, crafty projects, family life and whatever else inspires me to write.

I am a bit of an exhibitionist. I live my life like an open book and well, this blog is no exception. How can I share so much? I don't know, maybe it has to do with being single. Or, maybe not.

Either way - I am a single mom. I got myself (not literally just by myself) pregnant when I was 16, and raised my son pretty much by myself, but lest I be dishonest, his father has been an excellent provider for him and has done a good job of modeling what a responsible father looks like. Once my son, Tye, turned 20, it seemed like a whole new world blossomed for me.

A world where I, Kisha, get to determine my destiny and my future. I get to figure out who I am outside of that 'single mom' role, where hockey and school work, and PTA meetings, and working full time, and housekeeping, and dinner and laundry and laundry, and {MORE} laundry rule the roost. I get to be a little bit selfish in deciding if I want to cook tonight, or go out to eat. And to be honest? I like this new world.

A - lot.

Well, ok, that's almost true. I don't fully get to determine my destiny. Why not? Well because I am a Christian, and a pretty sold out one too. You know the kind they called a "Jesus" freak back in the 80's? Yeah... we still exist. But they have a lot of other descriptions for "Us people"... :) Anyway, so to a certain extent, I allow Jesus the role of determining my future. It's not really religion in any sense of the word, it's about a relationship where I realize what an amazing Guy he was (IS) and how much he absolutely LOVED me that he would leave all the Glory of Heaven, and come down here, just to make sure that I could join him up there some day. Lets just say I'm a bit smitten with the fella :)

Oh, back to the blog. Well recently I've found more time on my hands than I want to think about and plenty of time for new hobbies like Pinterest (really I have almost 4000 pins  that's scary!) and painting, and whatever else my creative mind feels like exploring and trying out. And you'll see a lot of that here. Painting, cooking, babysitting, crafty-ness, and life in general. Occasionally I date. Occasionally I go on trips. Occasionally I find something that I get UTTERLY insane about.

And you will hear about it, all of it, right here :)


So grab coffee, or tea, or whatever it is that you enjoy and come hang out with me.

It'll be fun - That much I promise! ~Kisha
