Welcome to Life is Sweeter by Design! I’m Jamie
Do you feel like you are floating in a canoe without a paddle…is your life lacking the sweetness you always thought would come naturally? Do you wonder if there is more to life than the rat race you are running? I can truly relate….and I believe this blog can help you realize your dream of having a SWEET life!
Here is a little bit about me:
I have been married to my best friend, Daniel, for over 27 years!
I am a busy mom to 4 sweet blessings…Gabe (26), Jaiden (23), Avery (18), and Emersyn (12). Yes…I know these photos are a little outdated…but I love them!
I am blessed to be a child of God and am always working to improve my walk with the Lord. I live in a small town in south-central Kansas. I am a registered nurse by trade, but I was able to resign from my job as a nurse after 20 years and I work from home full-time blogging. I am also a published author. I have written two cookbooks: Air Fryer Cookbook for Weight Loss and the Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook.

Now for the inside scoop…I absolutely LOVE being a mom….yet there are days I feel like it is going to kill me! I love to eat and have been battling my weight for years. I love to read, but I don’t always allow myself the pleasure because I am unable to put a good book down! I get butterflies just thinking about going on a trip somewhere…practically anywhere will get me excited. Some people would say I am a tad bit outspoken. I am very loyal. I despise onions…you will rarely see a recipe on here with actual onions in it (feel free to add them in when you make it)! I am not naturally crafty, but I do love to scrapbook and try out DIY projects. If you want to know even more about me, head over and read 25 Things You May Not Know About Me!
I also own two other websites and would love for you to check them out!
- Find a Free Printable is all about free printables! You will find lots of great printables to download.
- Sweet Scrapbooking is all about paper crafting!
How did ”Life is Sweeter by Design” come about?
About 15 years ago, I had been living an average American life. I was a full-time working mom, very busy with church, school activities, and just LIFE. I guess if you had asked me I would have said I was happy. I don’t think I really had time to be happy! Then suddenly my family was hit with a tragic incident involving one of our children. I was really thrown for a loop and my faith was tested. Then later that year we experienced the loss of a child due to miscarriage. I can honestly tell you that I descended into a rough place that I now refer to as my drought.
When I finally emerged from the drought, I had a renewed conviction as a Christian and as a wife and mother that I needed to take charge of my life. I realized that my life was so much sweeter when I designed it…when I lived it to the fullest…, and when I didn’t just let life knock me around!
I am trying to live a sweet life, and I invite you to join me! I will work to bring you fun ideas, recipes, DIY activities, travel ideas, and more! I will help you remember to treasure the little things in life because it is in those small moments that we can have the sweetest experiences!
