As I mentioned in my first post, I want to write about things that might help other women. I thought I’d let you know a little about me to let you know where I’m coming from in what I write. I have been married to a wonderful man for almost 16 years and we have a daughter and a son. We are Christians and we are a homeschooling family, my husband is self-employed, and we are in the process of planting a church. I guess you could call me an old-fashioned kind of girl – I like being a homemaker and a mother and I believe that it is the most important (not to mention the greatest!) job a woman can have. Not to say that women should not be working or have an education at all (I have a college degree – more on that later) – I just think that if a woman is married and has children she should be taking care of her family. Anyway, I grew up with one sister and my mother. My parents divorced when I was very young and my dad was not really in the picture much. I had some hard years as a teen and after I was married my husband and I also had some hard years. Things are going really well now but I have learned a lot of lessons over the years and learned a lot about life through mistakes I’ve made. Through this blog, I’d like to (hopefully!) help other women who might be going through some of the same things that I went through and maybe help them get through things a little better than I did.
