This is Me


I am a wife and homeschooling mom, in love with it all.

Twenty-three years ago I was a fresh out of college lost fool. Then I discovered what it means to be a child of the King. King Jesus entered my life and life began.

Sometimes I wonder how I got here and then I remember - it's called blessings.

I am wife to whom I'll refer to here as - He's Too Good To Me. Everyday he leaves, works hard, and lovingly allows me to stay home and homeschool our children.  We have four, ages 3 to 21.

Long ago I gave up a career as an interior designer and dreams of a fancy house and nice cars for a modest home, cars that run, and a lifestyle that bewilders some. Now I enter the world of blogging.

This blog won't be educational, I can assure you. It will mostly be my ramblings, meant to bring a smile to your face, more often than not because you'll be grateful it's me and not you! I'll offer insight, otherwise known as my opinions. You'll discover a few "Shelby finds", or recipes.

But the goal: I'm going to spread a little love - the King's kind.


Why This? Why Now?

It's something for me - and for my children. I have always wanted to keep some type of journal but never did. Now, all of my memories will not just fade away into the background of a mind too cluttered with the business of life. Now life will be remembered, recorded in ink forever - or until my computer crashes. Since blogging I find I am more aware of all the events around me. I want to one day say, oh yeah, I remember . . .

The everyday events in our lives are not meant to be forgotten, but are worth remembering. I search for humor in every situation now, things that would have just passed me by before are suddenly memorable.

I seek to encourage and lift others up, reminding them and myself not to take it all so seriously, not to worry your life away, and to have fun.

Let nothing be forgotten.
