Today our sweet daughter turned 11 months, that's one month shy of an ENTIRE year. It's so special being able to look back on these past 11 months, the fact that I was able to become pregnant and carry a child is a blessing in itself.
My unhealthy relationship with food started when I was 10 years old, when I was 16 years old I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. Over the years my body went through hell, because of my BMI being so low I stopped getting a period. I started going into early menopause. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis(and osteopinia) when I was 17, they told me I had a 4% chance of it EVER improving. I was also told that I was a chronic case(due to many unsuccseful hospital admissions), that I had no hope of ever recovering. I went through the scare of having my organs start to fail. They(the doctors) told me I would never be able to get pregnant or carry a baby full term. It is only by the grace of God that I can say I AM living in recovery, that my body is stronger then it has ever been and that I have a beautiful daughter that I carried full term with only minor complecations.
I am so thankful for the life I have been given, for the husband and daughter that God has blessed me with. Praise be to God, always.

Hello all, I've been wracking my brain the last week or so..trying to think of something exciting to blog about(believe me this sounds easier then it actually is!), I've finally decided that a little intro would be best. Hold onto your excitement and try not to go too crazy! :o)
The Cooper-Jones family, who are we?
Our perfect(and soon to be expanding, I'll write more about this!) family consists of Hayven(my wonderful husband), Lindsey(me...duh!) and Arya; Are-eeee-ah(our beautiful daughter). We currently live in a beautiful tiny town in Canada. Hayven works for a wonderful landscape company and I have my dream job, a stay at home mama! Our daughter Arya will be celebrating her 1st birthday on July 26th, WOW time sure has flown by!
We are followers of Christ, we believe that God sent his one and only son(Jesus) to live here on earth. He died for our sins, he paid the price for us, so that we could have eternal life in Heaven when we die. We will raise our daughter up as a christian as well as our future children. Hayven and I do not believe that birth control is from God(this whole topic deserves it's own blog post in itself), we have chosen as a family to not use ANY types of "protection". We have given this area of our lives over to God, we trust that He will bless us with as many children as he wants us to have, we have faith that however many children we have He will provide a way for us to take care of them. This is why I've stated above that we will soon be expanding, I am not pregnant as of now(as far as I know..) but we assume that it will happen in the near future.
I LOVE crafting; sewing, knitting, card making, painting, DIY things, making headbands(and selling them www.inspiremebebe.etsy.com). I'm also a vloger (www.youtube.com/keepbreathing00), a recovering(I believe I will always be in recovery) anorexic(this isn't a HUGE part of my life anymore, so I will rarely talk about it on here).
This blog will be a place for me to write about my family,my beliefs, post DIY projects and share recipes(I LOVE cooking and baking!). I am also open to topic suggestions!
