A new Beginning

I am starting this blog with slight uncertainty but also with an air of excitement because i have no idea where this will lead me. I have been inspired by so many other blog sites from mommies just like me who show their creative side in SO many ways!! So with my mind brimming with thoughts and ideas to share, I'm gonna start a lil about myself. I am a 29 year old stay at home mom, I grew up in the country near a small town smack dab in the middle of IL. I have Amish-Mennonite descent and am learning to love that side of me more and more :) When I turned 20 I left home and started off on my own, living in Ohio, Arkansas, Florida and well what do you know, I am back home again! I married a town boy that i knew all my life. I never dreamed we'd ever be together but I must say, he is definitely the Prince I always dreamed of!!! We have been married 5+ years and have two beautiful daughters, Sierra Paige 2, and Olivia Nicole 1. I hated the thought of being a stay at home mom but was determined to raise my own children and not someone else. Along the way I have learned that i LOVE to find ways to save money, do things on my own, garden, keep house and delight in watching my children grow. God has blessed us with a beautiful home and in SO many ways I see day in and day out. I wanted to start this blog because I wanted to keep in contact with the 'outside world' meet other mommies just like me, learn tips and ideas, share thoughts and possibly create friendships! Thank you for all who have read this and please feel free to post a comment of encouragement or tips on making my blog 'homier'. I can't wait to meet you all!
