Some changes on my FOOD blog....

Hi Guys!
So many things have happened lately to change the whole scope of our lives that will make me change some things on this blog, hopefully to make it more interesting (and you can let me know if this is welcome or not), first, I will be signing on and posting "stuff" almost daily to correspond with whatever's going on.... and second, to not just have recipes on the site but comments, opinions, reviews and more to give the blog a better rounded "feel".... since I believe that food is a lot more than recipes....
Due to my son's frequent illnesses (environmental related, allergy wise) as well as my husband's reactions to our present location, it has become more than clear to us that major changes will have to be made for their health and well being, so we've decided to leave the Yucatan Peninsula area and travel, another reason for the change of scope here, within Mexico while searching for our perfect "spot".... giving my impressions, opinions and more along the way. Of course this won't stop me from talking to the locals about food, getting recipes or sharing tips and what not with them along the way. I'll let you know what I find about each and every place and the selection criteria for our search....
We've always been "gypsies" (if you knew the dozens of places we've lived all over the world and our inability to "settle down" any one place), so we will continue to search for a more ideal location to spend some time. Initially we had decided to return to the good 'ol US of A but due to the present state of chaos and unrest there (plus my having to secure long term employment where none exists) it might be best if we stayed in Mexico and just "dropped out" (again...) of the whole thing until the situation and the economy settles down....
We're already beginning with our relocation plans, organizing our belongings, looking for boxes and containers which will be taken by the movers to a "central" location where we can leave them while we amble about looking for a place to rent.... this way we won't have to have a destination yet and will be able to look around, travel and do our homework while comparing different states, climates, costs, cultural offerings, food options (very important!!!) and more into our research to finally arrive at a good final/temporary place (with us nothing is forever... but maybe a year or two could be considered pretty permanent for a while...) and all along you will be receiving my reports or my "living postcards from the road".... and maybe you too can evaluate and vote on my reports and let me know what you think....
In any case it promises to be exciting and lots of fun as my little family travels Mexico in search of the ultimate place to live!!! YAY!!!! so stay tuned and check in often....
