I work full-time but am in love with being at home creating a place of peace and rest, joy and fun, ministry and healing. I enjoy the challenge of finding a balance between work, self-care, marriage &amp; family, and homemaking. I graduated from college almost 10 years ago (when I was forty-something) through\u00a0an\u00a0Adult Evening Program while working full-time and caring for my family and home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love sharing my experience and knowledge in the homemaking arts: canning and food preserving, cooking and baking, sewing, needlecrafts, hospitality, gardening, home decor, cleaning (although this one is definitely not my favorite!), and more. I am an avid reader, love crafting and taking pictures (and am trying to learn the basics of good amateur photography), and am our family historian. I enjoy welcoming family and friends into my home and inviting new friends into my world through my blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love encouraging young (and older) married women&ndash;helping each one try to find the balance between being herself, a wife, a full-time student\/employee, and a homemaker.
