Totally Groovy Party!

Have you met my friend Lynnette?  She is the host of this totally Groovy Party!

I love her new blog look too!

Stop over there.  Just click on the Party Button, and join in the fun!

You can meet new bloggers and there are PRIZES too!

I am so glad that I get to party before this new baby arrives- Wahoo!

Here are some FUN questions I answered... Kinda like a game at the Party!

How would people describe your personality? 

Hmmmm...  I would say.... Passionate.  ( not necessarily referring to the physical sense... but in general)

What is your comfort food/drink?

Definitely... A Cold, Caramel Latte!  And.... I have to add .... Oatmeal - with blueberries!

Be brave – tell us something very random and weird about yourself.

Random and Weird fact about me... I have an extra cervical rib.  Yep,, It is there,,, right by my collar bone... and if I raise my hands above my head,  it pinches a nerve, and I PASS OUT!

Do you have a strong desire to do something you’ve never done? What is it?

I have a strong desire to finish my book.  Some day.  sigh....

Music: Funk, Rock, Country, Jazz, Classical, Film Score, Blues, Classic Rock, Crooner, Alternative, Heavy Metal, Techno? What are your favorite types?

Ahhhhhhh!   I love Classical Music , AND a inspirational.  Have you ever listened to Bach's Brandenburgh Concerto's ?   Ahhhh... you should look them up~!

Name one weakness of yours (confession is good for the soul).

A weakness of mine- Fear.  Another - ( while we are on the topic)....Thinking ahead too far.  And of course,,, Lattes!

If you could live anywhere at all (and take all your loved ones with you), where would you go?

I would go south,,,, or actually any place, warm, mild, and sunny.

What’s something you consider yourself to be good at? (Don’t worry, it’s not bragging, it’s acknowledging a God given gift).

I guess I would say - Teaching.  yep,, although I feel awkward saying that.

What is one of your favorite things to catch a whiff of? 

Funnel Cakes.  And maybe...laundry drying on the line.  Oh... and probably.. Apple Pie baking.  

If money wasn’t a factor, what stores would you shop in?

Definitely health food stores, craft/bargain stores.  But I LOVE to shop at antiquish stores.

Are you a hopeless romantic?

Hmmmm... Probably.  yep.. I am... for sure.

More Relevant!



Returning home from Relevant was bittersweet!
I was soooo thankful to be back in the arms of my family,

YET,,, I am missing the wonderful time with my friend Lynnette!
If you have never met Lynnette, I would encourage you to stop by her blog and pay her a visit....
She is the most genuine, loving, and true definition of Pressing on in the Faith that I could ever meet....
She has so much to share, and we could all learn much from her example of How to live out what Christ has called us to...
Stop by here ,,,, tell her I sent you.... you will love her,, I am SURE of it!



What a blessing this 1st time away from home was for both of us.
It is truly hard to believe that it toook me 20 years to leave my family for some time away!

Relevant was truly a blessing in itself.
The hosts of this conference did an absolutely amazing job at touching every single detail...Thank you Sarah Mae, Dana and Jessica!!

The sessions were well organized, the speakers spoke straight from their hearts, the hotel was very accomodating, the schedule was flexible, and I MUST say,,, there were plenty of "sweets & giveaways" to go around!

Lynnette, Jessica, and I... Jessica is one of the Hostesses and Organizers of Relevant! 

Great Job Jessica!

Stop by here to visit Jessica,,, She has a beautiful blog!

Thank you Relevant for allowing two friends to meet and share a weekend with other bloggers and many blessings!

Heather, Lynnette and I...It was great to catch up Heather....(http://lifewithdandh.blogspot.com/.)

 she is just as sweet and special as her blog!

My heart and mind have been pondering the entire weekend and the thoughts that the Lord has laid on my mind....

I am sure many blog posts will follow to share some of the things that the Lord has taught me...

Here are a few more pictures of the moments at Relevant!

Ann Voskamp!!! Wonderful Author.. Check out her blog and new book... She has also written a Homeschooling Geography Material our family has used.

Check it our here:

Guess where I am????

 Relevant Blogging Conference in Harrisburg, PA...


I am here..
Lynnette (http://lynnettekraft.blogspot.com/)  is here..
and 200 plus other bloggers are here!
Such fun!!

Lynnette and I finally meet! 

First thing we do.. take pictures!

Many poses, camera adjustments, and much laughter,, we have a few successful shots!

One our first attempts - we thought this picture with our heads "chopped off," was rather dashing... don't you agree?

This was the SECOND dessert served this evening... cheesecake for ALL!

Third attempt....rather than our foreheads chopped off, we went for the disappearing chin look!

Love it!

True evidence that I am still in "mommy mode!"

3 minutes into our meal, I notice that I have cut up all of my chicken into tiny - bite- sized pieces!

More to come...

Late nights,, tired bloggers...and 3 more days!!
