I'm a 35 yr old stay home mom of 2 that I homeschool. I am a photographer. I have a heart condition and COPD even though I've always been a skinny non smoker. I have begun putting on weight with my new meds and am on MFP to control that. I Believe in God. Volunteer 60+ hours a month and go to school myself. Husband is a trucker who is only home on weekends.
My kids are a girl 13 years old also on mfp name tinyprincess. She has mild Autism and a sensory disorder making her unable to feel full and every new feeling feels like hunger to her.
A 5 year old boy who has severe Celiac's disease. It almost killed him 2 years ago. Both of my kids play an instrument and they model.

Anyone out there with similar lifestyles?

    My sister is on MFP and has a similar lifestyle. She has twin 5 yr olds with Autism and sensory issues. She has two older children, 16 and 14. She is a stay at home mom currently and the 14 yr old does cyber school. Friend her as she is very new here as well - - - sunnydaytwins is her screen name I think.

    i'm exhausted just reading your intro! I am a 33 yr old SAHM, with little ones, but they go to school outside the home. I do believe in God and volunteer, though! Friend me, if you'd like. : )

    Lets see, I am almost 24, I have three kids with one on the way, my hubby works 2nd shift so I hardly see except weekends when he isn't working overtime I absolutely believe in God! My oldest is 4 and we are having problems with his speech, he talks like a 2 year old and he has trouble following directions even if he does it day after day. I see similarities. :smile: Keep the faith!

    I have a similar lifestyle, friend me too. I am 34 years young and I have 3 children that I home-schooled for some years but now, they are in school out-side of the home. I am also a full-time student. My eldest daughter is 16 and she has schizophrenia and my son is 10 and my other daughter is 7. My husband is a workaholic; he's a biblical scholar and motivational speaker. He works out with me in the mornings and diet with me too.

    HI! I am 29 and about to be 30. I am also new to fitness pal! I don't have any children yet. I am currently going to college full time and working full time. I am going to school to be a teacher. I want to specialize with Autism. My story isn't the same as yours but you could friend me anyway if you would like!
