A little about a Mommy with Littles...


What is a Beautiful Calling?

When I chose the name for my blog, I was mostly thinking of my calling to be wife, mother and keeper of my home. Upon further reflection though, Beautiful Calling has another application. Any woman, of any age in any season, who is in the Will of God is fulfilling her Beautiful Calling.

A Little About Me:

I'm:
  • a Saved by Grace Christian
  • a happily wife married to Scott, a wonderful man (2005)
  • a busy stay-at-home mommy to Chloe (2) and John (7 months)
  • a caregiver to Jaiden (2) three days a week
  • a Cupcake baker and a Bunwich maker (seriously!)
    I'm also a new blogger and I am thrilled that you are here!! Welcome to the     Ultimate Blog Party of 2009! Never heard of the Ultimate Blog Party before? Well, neither had I but, I suggest that you head over a take a look...after you've explored my blog that is. There are prizes to be won!


A Little About My Blog:

I was domestically challenged when I first got married in 2005! This is a bit of an understatement :)

Since then, with the Lord's help, my desire is to answer my beautiful calling - which is not all about housework! I am learning to be the helper my husband needs; an example and a teacher to my children so that they will come to know, love and serve God. I want to Wait on the Lord with my life! With His help, I want to be keeper of my home and to be a good steward of the time, talents and resources that the Lord has entrusted me with.

This blog is an honest record of my successes, failures and lessons learned (and the one I am learning!) I pray that here you will find something helpful, encouraging or motivating! Read more here at Why Blog?

I also host Tune-Up Tuesday so be sure to come back for that!

A Giveaway!

If you have read The Symbol of a Beautiful Calling, then you know how I feel about aprons. Come back on Friday the 27th for a chance to win a fabulous apron!
***NEW NOTE: I was planning to have an apron giveaway on Friday but I found out that a friend's blog is having one on Friday!! GO HERE FOR INFO ON BRIANNA"S GIVEAWAY. We'll have our apron giveaway in April! So isn't that neat? You'll have an opportunity to enter two apron giveaways - aren't you glad you stopped by?!?

    I've decided that aprons make me a better wife and mother. When I put one on, it reminds me to GET STUFF DONE. :) I love 'em!

    Since you're pretty new to the blogosphere, I'll say WELCOME. So good to party with you :)

    Stopping by from the UBP and cracked up laughing reading that you were "domestically challenged". I know we could SO sit down, have coffee and not be bothered by cheerio's stuck between the couch cushions :) Isn't it great to have a God and husband that looks past those trivial matters to the heart?

    So nice to meet you! It is a beautiful calling, isn't it? I was definitely domestically challenged in the first years of my marriage, too! But God has been revealing so much to my heart about the role of the woman of God-as help meet, as wife and teacher! Blessings to you!! I'll be back to read more for sure! (and hopefully win an apron!)
