This is my third year to participate in the Ultimate Blog Party! If you don't know what it's about and want to find out more click the banner above. If your visiting from the party let me introduce myself.
My name is Missy and I am a sinner saved by grace, who is trying to live a life that glorifies God. I'm married to my best friend and we have one adorable little one year old boy together. I spend my days taking care of our family and home. I enjoy gardening, crocheting, sewing, cooking, painting, reading, hiking and pretty much anything old fashioned.
Here are some more posts to get you started:
Thanks for stopping by!
I can't wait to make some new friends this week!
Hello Missy! It's nice to meet you. I look forward to spending more time at your beautiful blog. Your ripple blanket it beautiful. I enjoy crocheting but I am challenged when it comes to reading a pattern. I am your newest follower.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Crochet patterns are intimidating to me too! I just try to go one step at a time. :)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI come for the party ^___*. Cute boy... Almost the same age as my youngest boy. He is 1,5 years Nice to "meet" you.
Pls return to see my UBP blog post too in here: http://bit.ly/14IvDly See you at my blog ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteStopping by from the UBP - your little boy is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kate! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteYour little one is adorable. Stopping by from the UBP!
ReplyDeleteHi Alyssa, thanks so much!
DeleteHi Missy! Glad to be following along now! I have to find out how the "no soda for a year" is going? I really need to jump on this bandwagon because I drink way too much of it!
ReplyDeleteIt's still going, but it ain't easy. I had half a can of Sprite when I was sick last month, but that's all. It really helps to have a supporting husband. I would have totally cheated by now if it wasn't for him.
DeleteSweet! I love your blog. It's so nice to find other like-minded bloggers. Your family is precious. UBP!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Gabrielle!

DeleteHi! Stopping by for the party...someone else who has given up soda for a year! I will have to take a look around here.
ReplyDeleteHi Missy! It's so nice to find your blog! You do beautiful crochet work and I really wish I were as talented as you!

Hi Nicky, nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteStopping by from UBP13. Your little boy is adorable...I love his blue eyes! I can crochet. Well, I could at one point but I never progressed past the making dishcloth stage. I'll never run out of dishcloths though!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!
LOL Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteHey Missy! I am so glad to meet you! Stopping by from the party! I have a boy who is 1.5 years old and our first. I feel like they and we would be friends if we lived near each other! ;-) Following you on Pinterest. www.hollandfamilylife.com/alaina.html
ReplyDeleteJust commented on your blog. :)
DeleteStopping by from the UBP13! What a precious little boy you have! My two boys are now young adults and I seriously don't know how that happened. It seems like just yesterday I was wiping snotty noses and bandaging up knees, lol!
ReplyDeleteWhen they are young you pray for them and you prayerfully guide them and teach them and you pray for their character, future wives, purity and for them to grow in the Lord. And you set external boundaries in hopes that they will set their own internal boundaries. And you let them fly but fly beneath the to catch them if they fall. And beneath you both are the arms of the Lord.
I have to say that I love the men that my boys have become! My oldest is now engaged to a lovely girl and my youngest is in his second year of college. Both boys are active in our church (my husband is a pastor) and I LIKE them. I not only love them but I like them.
You have precious years ahead, my friend. There will be some rough moments and some exhausting moments, there always are, but just know that the Lord will be walking it with you and His grace and wisdom is there for you!
Now I need to stop writing a book on your blog and go poke around it a bit. Have a lovely day! :)
Thanks for stopping by and for the encouraging words! :) I know the years are going to fly by way too fast with my little boy. I am trying to soak it all in!
DeleteHi Missy! Stopping by from the UBP13!
ReplyDeleteYou have an adorable family and a lovely blog!
I've been checking out the Bless Your Nest series!

Thanks so much Sarah! I can't wait to check out your blog too! :)
DeleteHopping through from the UBP13! Aren't they do much fun?!? I think we may have started the UBP around the same time. I think I started 3 years ago... hmmm... Can't remember now. Haha!
ReplyDeleteAnywho, it looks like we have a lot of things in common! I hope you are doing well with giving up soda. It will be a GREAT thing to keep up with if you can! I didn't make a conscious effort to give up soda like that and I didn't really drink that much (Pepsi lover here) but I changed our diet recently and soda got the ax. You'll save more money not drinking soda. :)
Take care!
Dee
Hi Dee! Thanks! Giving up Soda (mainly Dr Pepper) is HARD, but having the support of my husband helps TREMENDOUSLY!!
DeleteHi Missy, visiting from UBP, I am also a sinner saved by grace
ReplyDeleteYou must have had that beautiful little boy when you were 12, you look so young. I am visiting from the UBP#13. I enjoyed reading about you and seeing your pics!!
ReplyDeleteAm excited to get the opportunity to get to know you.

Hopping over from UBP13.
ReplyDeleteI homeschooled for 10 yrs, but now mine are all grown up. I also like to cook, craft & write. If you ever want some fun activities with your kids, stop by for our Oreo Moon Phases or our Lucky Charms Graph.
