Introduction

So....I did the unthinkable. I moved over from xanga-land to blogspot land! Why is this you wonder? I have been a faithful xanga blogger for years now and never thought I would leave. But, I got pretty fed up with quite a few things over there.....and we have entered a new chapter in our lives.

Now that our family is complete, I am a full-time stay at home mom and have an entirely new set of challenges in living life as a mom of 3, one of whom is a very fragile baby born at 28 weeks and with a brain shunt. I refuse to live my life in fear and am learning more about dependence on God, my King, than I ever thought possible! This might be the time of most spiritual growth that I have ever experienced.

I'm not trying to gain lots of followers, make money, brag or make more friends than I can possibly keep up with. So, why am I keeping this new blog? The answer is simple. I want a place where I can share about the things that I love, with people that I love!:

My family

Ways to save money

Household tips and shortcuts (many of which DO save money)

Ways to be a better a home manager

What God is teaching me: spiritual reflections

Reviews on books and recipes (cooking is now becoming quite the passion of mine!)

So, if any of those things appeal to you, or if you are just following me from xanga, welcome. Welcome to my world. I am excited to share it with you!
