My Simple Story
I’m Monique. I’m a wife of a wonderful man who patiently puts up with my shenanigans and the mother of a very energetic and curious four year old boy. I love doing things out of the box and like to see things through to the end with a defiant perseverance that can cause a migraine. I love to have things organized which is great, but the control freak inside, causes me stress sometimes.
I love nature, but I don’t get outdoors as much as I would like more so as the bugs, snails and slugs get to enjoy my home garden more than me. My husband and I are both trying to shed some extra pounds (yes… life happens and I don’t know about him, but I swear I just woke up chubby one morning). He gets to try all of my new recipes, some of which I must say are total failure, others he really enjoys. My son on the other hand, is much luckier as he’s quite a picky eater so does not have to endure the taste test torture at all.
I worked for over twenty years in the corporate arena and one day I made a rash decision to walk away from my demanding, well paid, permanent position… cold turkey. A decision I often question and wonder if I should have put things in place before acting in such a manner. Simple Life and Living, focuses on the everyday situations that I experience as a wife, mother and business owner, and the decisions that I make to provide a better life for my family.
