My days are BUSY and full. Every night I collapse into bed thankful for the CRAZY.

It is a powerful statement and I really do repeat it when I find myself making myself crazy over things. I keep saying to until I calm myself down so I can move on. I really did do it when I began to write this first post. :) So glad it blessed you too.<br /><br />~ CassandraRenaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931230284455021480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743232291891944460.post-25713313140188096132013-10-01T23:21:55.940-04:002013-10-01T23:21:55.940-04:00Dear Traci, Stacie, LuAnn and Barbara,

Your comments not only encourage me but now that I know that someone has found me, I can't delete this post and pretend I'm not taking up the challenge this year. LOL!

We are celebrating my 52nd birthday tomorrow. <br /><br />My family purchased a small farm in rural Kentucky this summer and are looking forward to getting it productive again. My husband returned to college after 30 years and is realizing (thank the Lord) that he just might be as intelligent as I've always thought he was. I am hoping to begin graduate school (MFA-Creative Writing) in the spring. We homeschool our 3 children: 2 boys (16 and 15) and 1 girl (10). My daughter and I attend church (sporadically since the move), but the menfolk not so much (but we're working on that). ;) <br /><br />Hubby had planned a day out at a regional festival last week, and I knew it would be taxing on me. I prayed that morning for strength and for a lightening of my mood, so I would be a drag on the family. On the way back to our truck, I told my husband this. He smiled and said, "Well, it worked!"<br /><br />I love acting in live theatre, reading just about anything, crafting, gardening, traveling, and all things Scottish. I like cooking (it's not love yet, but it's growing on me).LuAnn @ BackPorchervationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775630749079885915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743232291891944460.post-91294253219611793312013-09-30T21:28:56.686-04:002013-09-30T21:28:56.686-04:00Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such...Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet note (at Faithfully Nourished)! :) Looking forward to checking out your posts this month!Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487780101066475847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743232291891944460.post-19815666656956801122013-09-30T21:19:52.338-04:002013-09-30T21:19:52.338-04:00what a fun topic!

I cry at sappy Hallmark movies, I dance to musical cards at the grocery store, and I hate to dust.<br /><br />I'm a curly-headed dreamer who loves my Savior Jesus, adores my best friend called Hubby, and cherishes (most days, te hee) my three children. I never knew how much I would love being at home full time with my kiddos, but I do! What a privilege and high calling from the Lord!<br /><br />In high school I would hide behind science and math classes to avoid any part of reading and writing. The irony of it? Now I love to read and write and I do most of it here with this silly thing called a blog.<br /><br />I love to take pictures, bake yummy things, and make my home cozy and inviting. I'm a tom-boy at heart turned HGTV junkie! <br /><br />It is my desire to glorify God through encouraging and edifying other women. My prayer is that from reading this blog you will be lifted up and it will motivate you to love God, your spouse and children that much more.<br /><br />I dabble in blog design so if you are looking for a reasonable price, check out my design site over here: http://www.graphicdesignsbytraci.blogspot.com<br /><br />Traci Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868420770414629597noreply@blogger.com
