My First Blog

I just started this blog today, so I'm still fairly new. Be patient with me while I tweak this and that, and add or take away.

Anyway, our family consists of my wonderful husband and myself, a 14 y/o daughter, a 12 y/o daughter and our 9 y/o grandson who we are raising (and he calls us Mom and Dad, so that's who we are). We also have my 77 year old Mom here taking care of her full time. She has dementia, cancer and diabetes, and we feel that the Lord has led us to open our home and lives to her to make her last years easier.

We also have animals...many animals! A Great Dane named Riley, a Shih Tzu named Connor, his son, a Beagle Shih Tzu mix named Luke, and two Chihuahuas that I get my user name from...Chimicole!

In the menagerie we also have an African Grey parrot and a cockaiel, an old Tiger cat and two fish tanks. (sigh~soooo many!) LOL!

More to love....more to do, but always more to love!



Anyway, recently, I have been led to lead more of a Titus 2 life and encourage my husband and children in the process. In searching, I have found so many encouraging websites and therefore have also found this blog.

I have began to make my own soap for washing, have began to use homemade cleaners, and have made my household a binder for easier household management. It is a work in progress, constant progress, but with faith and time, it will get easier and become more of a blessing as God leads his family in the direction He wants us to go.



God bless!

  2. I too have my mother who is a survive of cancer three times and now has alzheimers, go figure. She doesn't live with me yet, my brother is with her, but probably for not much longer.

    I too am feeling led to be a titus 2 woman.
