Traci Houston

Traci Houston was born in Marrero, Louisiana in 1986 but grew up mostly in Colorado Springs, Colorado. At 18 years old she joined the U.S. Air Force where she served honorably for nine and a half years. In that time she earned an Associates degree in Logistics & Business Management and Bachelor's degree in Health Administration. Those military years shaped her as an adult but didn't provide the freedom to feed her ambition. Consequently, Traci willingly separated from the Air Force to pursue a passion in culinary. Within months of leaving the military Traci started culinary school and graduated just five days before the due date of her pregnancy. It was in that pregnancy that she got diagnosed with gestational diabetes, a condition that led her down a path she never intended to walk. After back to back pregnancies and being a stay at home mom, Traci craved rejoining the workforce, but in a capacity that allowed her to spend as much time as possible with her children. Through much soul searching she embarked upon a blogging journey to help other moms suffering with gestational diabetes, and this is the work Traci continues today.
