About Me

My name is Ellen Peterson Glad. I am married to a wonderful husband, Nathan. I love music, baking and wearing cute clothes. I teach piano and voice and have lots of wonderful students. I bake all the time and have to make all my recipes gluten and dairy free. I have a passion for sharing recipes for anyone that wants to eat good food without the guilt. I love finding clothes that are comfortable and affordable. Clothes that are as comfortable as pajamas but still makes me look cute. I suffer from a chronic illness. I got really sick when I was 18 and since have had lots of different struggles. I was diagnosed with dysautonomia in 2014 and now have a clinic and lots of doctors. The same year I was hospitalized for seizures. I spent lots of nights hanging out in bed with my mom. We would watch life alert videos and laugh for hours because they were all to relate-able. Since then I have learned a lot. My life is hard but it is beautiful. I have learned to laugh at myself when I have moments when I've fallen and can't get up. This blog is about creating awareness for people with chronic illness and giving others hope. I want to express to the world that even though your life isn't picture perfect it can still be wonderful.
