“Living with joy as a wife and mother, loving and encouraging my family and those around me, in a manner that brings glory to God and enjoying each day in light of eternity”
Just about every time I go out with my kids, at least one person will say something to me like “oh my, you have your hands full!”.
It’s true, I do. I have 6 kids…. that’s a “whole hand full and then some”! And they are close in age too, my oldest will be 9 in June 2014. My youngest was born in November 2012. So, that’s 6 kids a little over 7 years apart. And it was the inspiration behind the name of this blog – “Hand Full of Blessings”. My hands are full no doubt, but I am blessed as well, each one of my children are precious and unique.
This blog is just thoughts, encouragements, ideas and ramblings of one mom. With many little ones around, my “adult” talk time is rather limited and so for me, this is an outlet for me. I can share that funny little quip from one of the kids to someone else that might appreciate it. I can share an article or other blog post that encouraged me and pass it on to another. I can take those ideas tossing about in my head and put them down on paper.
As my life as a mother has evolved over the last few years, I find myself being drawn to a more simple life. A life using natural and real products for myself and my children. Paying more attention to the food I provide them and making sure it is “real and good food”. I know many others are on a similar journey like mine and I hope to learn from those of you further along then I am and I aim to encourage those who are just starting out.
But most of all…. this is everyday life with me.
I’m just stopping by to say hello!! I didn’t realize we had so much in common!! I’ll be bookmarking your blog so I can keep up with you! 🙂
Hi there! I’ve been reading through your site and I am loving it! I also noticed that you have lots of little ones, as well. I have 3 girls under age 3 (and most likely more in the near future!). It’s been on my heart to start a network of other moms out there with lots of young ones and share how we make it work on our blogs. My desire is to help other moms out there with young children, building a big family. I tried to find your email address, but it’s a bit late for me so maybe I missed it somewhere! 🙂 You can check out my site http://www.apurposedrivenhome.com and email me with your thoughts! apurposedrivenhome@gmail.com
Hope to hear from you soon!
