This is an abstract post today, since my friend, Kelli, has tagged me.  So, here you go, Kelli!

* Write 6 random things about yourself.

1.  I adore reading cookbooks, especially my new Taste of Home magazine.

2.  I completely enjoy reading about many other homemakers including Heather, Laura, Eyes of Wonder, and Laine, who have many children, some being special needs as one of mine is, and how they manage their homes and how I can learn to manage better and streamline so I can fit more in to each day, whether it be for need or to make room for more fun.

3.  Spending time talking to the Lord and listening to Him every morning, cooking, planting, checking my garden for progress, taking a quick walk in the morning, listening to Revive Our Heart‘s radio program, kids’ naptime, being disciplined and working when I feel like being lazy, a call from my mom or dad, an email from a friend, snuggling next to my 3 year old while she falls asleep, reading books written by older women and gleaning their advice, sitting next to my husband on the couch and chatting while the kids clean up after dinner, knowing that I am giving everything I have and that everything I have is bringing security and love to the people I love the most and have poured my life out for are all things that bring me daily joy and deep satisfaction.

3.  I was born, raised and am raising my children in Arizona.

4.  I attend Calvary Community Church, where my husband works and teaches the NEXT College/Young Adult class.

5. I’ve been married for 11 years, have 5 children and I homeschool.

6. I like truth and facts.
