Hello, Welcome to Breaking Average Blog. My name is Holly and I am so happy you took a moment to check out this site. My ultimate goal is to live a breaking average life. I love creating, writing, cooking, and exploring healthy living. I hate running, pulling weeds in July, and hair on the soap bar (Yuck!). I am a wife and mother to three busy boys and in the daytime hours work as a Registered Nurse. I love trying out healthy recipes but also readily confess to a weakness for potato chips and desserts. I am brave enough to try new things and stubborn enough to figure out old problems. My life is filled with boys, soccer balls, and adventure. My favorite place on earth is the beach and I love my morning coffee- black, no sugar, please. I have stacks of journals filled with prayers and dreams and I passionately believe God created everyone of us with a beautifully unique gift that the world desperately needs. I started this blog with the purpose of sharing our families journey of pursuing our dreams and to encourage others to do the same. My hope is to offer inspiration and tools for your own pursuit of breaking average. I invite you to grab your favorite beverage and stay a while! Read More…
