What this Blog is NOT!

     This is not a blog remarkably testifying that I know how to do this “Life” thing.  I, like most of you, am just trying to figure out how to walk the Parenting walk, the Wife walk, the home-reno walk, the Christian walk, and so on.  This isn’t a “How To” blog as I mentioned above, I can’t tell you the how to if I am still trying to figure that out.  This is simply stories, journals, and accounts of what does and doesn’t work for myself and our family.  Take from it what you may, leave what you choose, and feel free to even chuckle a bit at our moments of absurdity.  Please don’t take us too seriously; we don’t take ourselves all that seriously either.  But my hope in all of this blogging business is that some might be able to learn from our mistakes and avoid the many pitfalls of life, while others might see truth in some of this and allow that truth to impact their lives.  Heck, I want this to be a place to go on a not so joyous day, where you can read one of the many antics or charades my children or myself pulled and just find yourself engulfed in a moment of laughter. 

What this Blog IS!

     I plan on posting Stories of our day to day life.  Keeping it real for all the long distance Grandparents.  I plan on posting the crazy antics of our three boys. Trust me with three boys, they are endless!  I will write about Parenting, Marriage, Friendship, Pregnancy, Infertility, Adoption, Finances, Family, Home renos, Homeschooling – I can already feel the cringes, Crafting-I am not Martha Stewart, slightly more legal, but I do love me some good crafts, Community, Theology-more so how we wrestle and walk it out vs. televised evangelizing.  No claims to be the next Joyce Myers or Billy Graham here.  And I might even throw in there a bit of the dreaded fitness info as I try to reclaim somewhat of a pre-pregnancy physical stature. I am not in denial that I carried children, and believe that no matter what is done there will always be that mark which I believe is sort of beautiful, but I do acknowledge the benifits of caring for your health.  I will post some of my beloved reads as I am sort of obsessed with books and maybe some good tunes too.  Who knows, I have somewhat of a plan but if I feel inspired on something else I may roll with that.  We will see.  You are about as clued in at this point as I am.  Prayers are always welcome and heck even some loving criticism with a side of humbleness could be beneficial too.  Feel free to share the blog with your friends and welcome to some of our reality.
