Friendly Friday: So Much Has Happened This Week!

Welcome to Friendly Friday!

(Wow!  Is it Friday already?!  How does that happen?!)

Anyway, I'm really, really glad that you stopped by!

This BlogHop is hosted by Thanks, Mail Carrier, The Frugal Novice, and Healthy Home Blog, and is a great way to meet new friends and gain new followers! I have been really enjoying this BlogHop and meeting so many of you! Every week they highlight three blogs from all those who enter, so go on over and read about them!

(Thanks, so much for hosting, ladies!) 

How It Works

To join in the Friendly Friday celebration, include your link in the list, follow the hostesses in the first 3 spots and then start blog hopping! Visit other blogs on the list and comment. Then follow them (if you feel so led) through Google Friend Connect - this is a good way to keep up with other blogs, but also lets us show support to one another!

When people comment on your blog and let you know they're a part of Friendly Friday, please return the favor and visit them (and consider following them) back. This way everyone gets traffic and followers out of participating, and it's a win-win situation.

Remember, YOU can host the link list on your blog, too! Just click "Get the code here..." at the bottom of the list. Hosting the list is a great way to get even more traffic to your blog and make Friendly Friday more beneficial for everyone.

• Please let me know you came by and tell me about yourself.
• Follow or Subscribe, but only if you really value what you read here.
• And, Grab my button on the sidebar (oh, I redesigned it, so you'll want to update yours, if you have the old one!) And tell your friends about my blog, if you think they would find it helpful--Thanks!

Welcome to All of you! (Old and New Friends!)

1. Ok, now go get a cup of coffee and sit down for a while! There's a lot here for you to read and check out!
2. Do you know how much I enjoy when you tell me about yourself, and comment?! Well, I love it.  So, please don't be shy--it is such an encouragement to read your comments!
3. I post every day--I hope you'll follow me or subscribe and that you'll visit often,
4.  'Cuz that's how good friendships happen!

About Me:

I am a stay-at-home wife, and a Homeschooler, though my teaching days are completed, as my "children" are now 24 and 20. We are blessed to have them still living at home with my wonderful husband and me. My passion is to help and encourage young women, wives and moms to fulfill their God-given role, (but there's something here for everyone) and I love to write, so this blog is my way of doing it all.

Specific themes that I have written on which you might enjoy (click on the links): 
Manage It (Victorious in Christ) Monday: 

• Is Your Blogging Out of (His) Control? 
• Managing Me
• How To Endure Trials

* Love and Marriage Series: (We celebrated 32 years of marriage on June 3!) (Mondays Now on Wednesdays)

Recent post titles:

• "Meaning of Wedding Traditions"
• "Showing Unconditional Respect to your Husband"
• "Belittling and Henpecking"
• "Doing Those Little Things Around the House"
• and, "Bitterness by any other name". 

You'll also find Interviews; How and Why the subject of Courtship applies to you as a mom of little ones; Ways to teach young children about Godly love and marriage (our view of marriage starts when we're young and at home) and great books and resources to help you accomplish this goal. (Grab my button on the sidebar to let people know about this series!)

* Timely Tips on Tuesday: (Hopefully, everything helpful: Home organization, scheduling your prayer time, child-training, running a home in general, tips for you as a mom to littlees)

* Food Friday:  Every Most Fridays (I try to make it every Friday:) I share a tried-and-true recipe that you'll love! And don't miss my posts of Rob Barrett of "Cooking for Dads"--you'll love his cooking show, and recipes!)

So, get a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of lemon water (one of my favorites), sit back and have a good read.

Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to meeting and getting to know you!
