  • Now on the new blog...

    I love this blog...I really do.  It holds 3 years of memories, thoughts, trials and tribulations.  But this past year has been very hard on me and I feel it's time to move away from this blog and to a new home to start a new beginning.  I know the thoughts and feelings of this past year will not go away, but at least they home...here on this blog...so I won't be bringing them with me to the new.  Instead I'm going to be focusing on the many blessings in my life, the talents and family that God has given me.  I pray my sweet dear friends will be joining me on my new blog because I couldn't bare to loose you. 

    Till I see you on the new blog God Bless...

  • So a couple of things...

    I'm looking at blogspot and trying to decide if I want to stay on xanga or go to blogspot.  If I stay on xanga then I want to get rid of the ads that are on it so I will have to go premium.  Anyone gone premium before?  Did you like it?  Anyone go to blogspot and not like it? 

    I'm also thinking of a new name.  I want something besides just a sign on name.  I want something that describes me and what my blog is about.  So here is what I am interested in and what I am going to be focusing on me:

    Sewing, pattern making, designing

    cooking, canning, recipe creation

    gardening and homesteading

    dolls! I want to learn everything I can about doll restoration.

    my family...my beautiful children and wonderful husband!

    and of course my Lord and Savior.

    I don't want to use my blog anymore for stewing in self pity, but to share what good things I have going in my life.  Maybe it will help me count my blessings more?

    So what do you think?  I'm having a hard time with a name....

  • I think...

    I think I'm gonna close this chapter in my life.  I've had a very painful and emotional year that I just can't seem to shake and leaving this blog behind may be what I need to do.  Don't worry, I'm not leaving my friends, just this name.  I'm gonna think on it and pray about it, but something has to change.

About Me

  • Hi, I'm Shannon and thankful to God to be married to the best man God could have given me for 10 years now. I'm also a SAH homeschooling mom to my 4 beautiful girls that I thank God for all the time! I love gardening, sewing, cooking, canning, animals and being a help meet to my husband. My goal in life it to server God and grow to be a true Proverbs 31 lady as well as a Titus 2 person. My husband has been called to the ministry and we both feel that it is teaching biblical manhood and womanhood. We also host a web site called reachingforrighteousness.com to help those looking for information to help them serve God better.

    @opster25@momaroo - OK for the 2nd grader, she should be learning double and triple digit addition and subtraction, rounding, and skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's. Then after she has all of that move into multiplication. If you want a book, I love Math U See, but it is pricey. First Language

    @opster25@momaroo - We follow the program that is in The Well Trained Mind. It tells you how to do everything and then gives you a book list to choose things from. I also try to use as many non consumable books as possible sense I have 4 children. My 2nd daughter is finally reaching the age where
