I remember when I was 19 years old, I commented to a friend “the story of my life could be contained in a pamphlet.” What I didn’t realize then is that one day I’d be sharing those chapters through an authentic lifestyle blog.
Fast forward more than 30 years, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. College. Marriage. Child-rearing. Volunteer work. Divorce. Marriage. Volunteer work. College. Part-time job. Full-time job. Self-employed. Two states. Five counties. Eight towns.
My beautiful adult daughter lives with my husband and me. She was born with an “unnamed” chromosome abnormality and requires care around the clock. You’ll read more about her here. Much more. She’s the catalyst that got me to where I am now, the teacher who shapes my perspectives, and the bringer of sunshine into our household. Through Sincerely Teresa, I share stories of caregiving, family, and Appalachia. It’s my way of creating an authentic lifestyle blog that’s honest and real, not polished perfection.
So, if you’re interested in tagging along on our journey of caregiving and cooking and gardening and writing and reading and pets and travel and…life….we welcome you. Feel free to reach out—let me know where you’re from and how you landed here. I love meeting new folks!
Sincerely,
Teresa

Life with Britni means I never leave her alone. Ever. I won’t even work upstairs if she’s downstairs and Robbie’s not home. Which is what makes what happened to her
