It's been on my heart for a long time now to share with you things about my daily life around here in the Capellan household.  I have so much to share with you about living a simple life, about all my quirky idea's, all my trials on raising Godly children, where I will share some amazing recipes using Essential oils AND food, photography, books I love, all of anything that has to do with life and where you will see me chase after God's mercy and grace.

When thinking about the title, I originally came up with MommyMacgyver.  I always find a way to "fix" things.  Whether it's an infinity shoe lace knot, the sink, the van or boo boo's.  I will always try to find a way.  My husband always used to say, "Where there's a Jeannita (little Jeannie), there's a way."  Well, that was already taken.  What else?  I glanced at my life and thought how simple I live.  Not just with things but really with my spirit and thus, "Love the Simple Life" was born.

Who are you:  I am naturally curious so I am always seeking answers and knowledge.  If you only knew how much I read. (that is actually my biggest obstacle).  This may be an oxymoron to that but I am naturally a skeptic as well.  I love numbers especially when it comes to statistics so I am always analyzing things.  I used to have a really really great photographic memory but it seems to be fading, its still good though.  Maybe because I use my camera more often to log those memories forever.  I have a natural GPS system in my brain.  But like all electromagnetic toys, sometimes it gets out of whack.  So don't get mad at me if I tell you I don't know where we are.  Take it as a true act of humility.  I am always randomly singing around the house to songs I don't really know all the lyrics too.  And so does my whole family.  We mostly sing Praise songs and Disney songs.  What seems to be popular right now is "Let it Go" from Frozen and "How do you know" from Enchanted.

When you spend time with me, you will see that I am not the serious person you thought I was.  I have a BIG servants heart.  So I take great joy in serving others.  I love DIY's but in a more practical life hacks way. Not the Pinterest painting old furniture to make it look Shabby Chic kind of way.  Hence, MommyMacgyver.  Although you should follow me on Pinterest.  I have some awesome boards.  I quickly look for a solution and my brain will rapidly run the options like a computer and start canceling the solution out based on the end result.  This happens within seconds.  I am big on Holistic and natural cures.  And now for over a year I have been using Essential oils which has taken our health to another level.  I love the color purple, I love dragonflies and elephants, I love photography, I almost love homeschooling, I love fresh flowers - peonies to be exact - well I love wild flowers too, I love traveling around the world, I love praying, I love my family and most of all I love Jesus Christ.  Oh and the BEACH, how do I love thee.
