about

After being a stay-at-home mom for 7 plus years now, I frequently find myself at the end of the day with thousands of words unsaid–leftover ideas, conversations, opinions, questions and thoughts.

This blog gives voice to my leftovers.  Because I’m a Christian, a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, etc. the subject matter will naturally reflect this.  However, I wouldn’t call this a “mom” blog.  Nor is it a “teaching” blog or a “crafty” blog or a “theological” blog or a “humor” blog.

It’s all of those things.  Just like every other Christian mom out there, I am a mix of much.  So I’ll do a preemptive apology for the range of this blog.  It isn’t overly focused.  The only consistent theme is Christ who is over all and in all and through all.

Here’s a peek at what I’m passionate about: loving and serving the body of Christ well, being a wife and mother to the glory of God, defending the unborn, the advance of the Gospel, knitting and crocheting, history, politics in general, being a really good friend, reading (love Jane Austen) and writing, coffee (medium roast), singing, guitar-playing, worship, LOTR trilogy (esp The Two Towers).  *Items are not of equal-value or listed in order of importance.

Blogging is beneficial for me.  It’s not just a writing exercise or journal.  It is more like a (fun) spiritual discipline that focuses my thoughts into coherency, gives my heart a reminder of the big picture, and it preaches to my wayward soul.

It also can be good for a laugh.

If reading it can do even one of those things for you, I’ll call it a success.
