I first saw you on the Nate Burkus show you lit something in me that I haven’t felt for awhile. I am a new mom and trying to find myself again as being a stay at home mommy. I love to be creative and have so many ideas. Thank you for getting me excited about projects and expressing myself. Keep it coming you are a daily stop for me. xoxo

I followed you before reading your “real life story” but I’ll tell you, I definitely became a loyal fan after reading it. I appreciated reading your brutally honest history and the testimony you gained from it. Though I don’t know you in real life, I have a great respect for both you and your husband. What a great example you both are for others out there suffering from addictions. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Can I just say…I love you and I don’t even know you. I found your blog on accident one day, but have followed you ever since. I read your story and got teary. My mother is an addict as well-celebrating 14yrs clean, so I could totally relate.
Thanks for sharing your awesomeness with us!I love your guts!!!

Mandi – I came acrss your blog a few months ago and I’ve kept comin’ back! Love it! One day I read your entire Real Life Story and I immediately emailed my sister to check it out. Her husband is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and I knew she would have loved to read another LDS woman’s perspective in a struggle that so many of us feel alone in, ashamed of. You are a definite blog star! You are right – you do keep it real and I think all of us recognize that and keep comin’ back!! Can’t wait to check back in this week!

Awesome! I hadn’t checked out your life story yet, so I didn’t even realize you’re a fellow Christian! I love finding out when my favorite bloggers are Christians too. I often wonder about the line – how much is okay to talk about and how much isn’t? – so it’s refreshing to hear you talk about that. 🙂

I came by because of the contest, but stayed when I read your RL story, because I’m a recovery alcoholic & addict so I know how it was for your husband and yourself. Also, your quirkiness is what makes your posts worth reading :o)
