It’s finally time for me to share this little idea I’ve been working on. I know this will not appeal to everyone…but I hope it will be a blessing to some. It’s the Women Living Well Forum – a place to connect! When I was pregnant with my son (over 10 years ago), I found the “BabyCenter” forums. I LOVED connecting with other women who were pregnant at the same time and sharing our pregnancy experiences with each other. Then we had our babies and for about 2 years, I lurked and found a lot of great wisdom and […]

Read MoreThe Dig ~ Volume 2 & WLWW Link-Up Party!
This is my friend Ruth – she is the creator of TheBetterMom.com (and in this picture she was picking me up to head to a blogging conference.) I love this girl (who happens to be a graduate of Moody Bible Institute too – woot!). Last July when her first volume of The Dig for Kids came out I told you all about it…This month she has released Volume 2! For those of you who haven’t heard of The Dig, a typical Dig lesson consists of the following four components: 1. The Map: The Map tells you and your child where you’ll be going in […]
Read MoreThe First Blog I Ever Followed & A Link-Up Party
Before we start this month’s blog hop, I thought I would share with you the first blog I ever read on a daily basis. The blog is called Girl Talk. I began reading it many many moons ago but lately I’ve been so busy writing, I don’t have time to read there but they are still wonderfully inspiring! I went back to their blog to see when it began –and I can only go back in the archives to 2005 but I am almost certain that they existed in 2003 and they just don’t have the archives…I read them every.single.day.for.years.on.end! And I bought 3 of their […]

I could make a list of 100 things I’m thankful for but I don’t want to bore you – so here’s my top 10. 1. God’s Word – the Bible. Daily I come to this living well, to drink a tall glass of living water and it is from this Living Well that Women Living Well was born. 2. My Husband – our fearless leader. 3. Two beautiful gifts I get to homeschool! 4. A godly heritage. (my dad, mom and grandmother.) 5. Sisters who challenge and inspire me (even when I didn’t get the “purple and black” memo for […]
Read MoreHow To Make Homemade Crayons & Link-Up Party!
I am not a very crafty mama but this is one craft we do yearly…after I explain the steps you’ll see why. 🙂 How to Make Homemade Crayons: 1. Have your children peel the paper off of worn out crayons. (This is great because it should keep your children busy for a long time while you get work done or read a good book – like your Bible!) 2. Get out metal cookie cutters (if you don’t have these on hand you will need to purchase them – but they are usually quite cheap at dollar stores this time of year!) 3. Break […]
Read MoreThe 3rd Annual Making Your Home a Haven Challenge Is Back!

Linker-uppers – PLEASE note that there are TWO link-ups below- ONE for Twitter Profiles and ONE for Blog Posts!!!!
