Welcome to my Journey

Hello!  I am so excited that you are joining me on my journey.  My name is Karen Milone.  I am a wife, mother, teacher, reader, crafter, and developing writer. I have been married for almost 26 years, and I have 3 adult children. I am about to have two of my children out of the house.  I feel like having my children start to move out is a journey.  For so long I have been focused on them, and taking care of them.  They don't need me for much these days, and it has been a struggle for me at times.  I am trying to figure out my new role as a mother of adult children. My nutritionist suggested I start a blog.  I am also on a journey through weight loss.  At one point, I was down almost fifty pounds!  At the moment, though I have lost a total of 38 pounds.

 I love to stamp, making cards is my favorite thing to do, and I try to get to my craft room as much as I can.  Here are a couple of my recent cards.

I also knit all kinds of things.  I made a sweater for one of my sons, and a blanket for the other. 

I love to read, currently working on the new Bill Clinton and James Patterson book.  The book is full of action, and you can definitely hear Bill Clinton's voice come through as you are reading.  What do you like to read?
The President Is Missing: A Novel

So, what I share will be different all the time.  It could be about a book I just finished, or a project I am working on.  It could be a rant about how much I want chocolate cake.  You will have to follow along as I journey through life!
