EPIC!

Ok, one of the most fun things about getting into blogging again is meeting new people, learning new things, and making new friends!  Soooo…

WELCOME all you fabulous Blogelina 2015 Commentathoners!!!! 

(Um, and of course, anyone else who might be stopping by!!!)

 

Welcome graphic

 

A little about lil’ ol’ me…  I am a wife, mommy, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend!  So that means I’m a chauffer, cook, maid, lover, therapist, therapist’s patient(thanks friends and sisters), personal shopper(lil people can go through clothes fast!), booboo kisser, and more!

When I’m not spending time with or on my family, I enjoy DYI projects (here’s a link for my recent $30/pair shelves makeover), love to decorate, getting back into Bible study, and have a strange addiction to Hawaii 5-0 (Come on new season – START ALREADY!!! ).

Ok so if you already can’t get enough of me, check out my about page or read up on the hamster debacle of 2015 here, here, here, and here(Don’t worry it’s really not a mutant; it’s just in my daughter’s doll house. LOL).

Now that you know a whole bunch about me, get your virtual coffee(ok, or real coffee) and let me know who you are in the comments below!  I’m so glad you stopped by!!!

  2. Nice to meet you. Great idea to get to know everyone this way. I am a mom, grandma, pastor’s wife who was a special ed. teacher before going on dissability for a progressive eye disease. Later, I became a home educator, founded a ministry to the poor with my husband that feeds around 5,000 meals every month at our little church of 50. Ministering to the broken-hearted has brought out the problem-solver and encourager in me. In my new season of life, I’m writing a book and decided to blog to build an audience, as well as minister to others. I love changing people’s focus by allowing them to see things a little differently.

  4. I am Melissa & I wear many hats including being a wife, momma, homeschool teacher, dog food bowl filler, chauffeur and more. I love reading; just started blogging; spend LOTS of time in the car or on the sidelines watching kids practice & find myself turning into my mother, which I for one find a wonderful thing to do! Thanks for sharing about yourself 🙂

  5. Hi! My name is Kelly and I am so glad to meet you through the Blogelina Commentathon! 🙂
    I am also a wife, mom, sister, aunt, and love the family relationships in my family! Bible study is probably my favorite thing to do and is my lifeline! Can’t wait to check out your blog!

  8. I am a child of God, a wife & a mom! My newest identity comes from listening and stepping out in faith as a life coach. People are fascinating! I love meeting new people but even more than that I LOVE coming alongside them as their coach & helping them to be the bestest version of themselves!

  10. Nice to “meet” you. I love the Thankful Thursday topic on your blog! You sound like a very busy mom. 🙂 I hope this comment posts, because CommentLuv is giving me an error message that I’m blacklisted! (lol What in the world did I do to get blacklisted?!) XOXO, Erin

  11. I am a mom of two,,,, full time for 8 years already. I have an online job as Marketing Manager for a motivational guru who has taught me a lot about life and reaching for our goals.

    I love to travel and I hope I continue doing that soon and on a weekly basis. Just so expensive, but as they say, if you want to reach your goal, prepare for it.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

  12. I’m right there at the 40 threshold with you….and I too am still trying to find myself (so to speak), figure out who I am and what I want to do when I grow up! I’ve got 4 kids from 18 years – 2 years old. The younger kids make me feel young and sometimes quite immature, haha. It doesn’t seem real that I’m almost 40 because I still feel like a kid sometimes, which I am thankful for.

  14. 🙂 Hello. I’m a blogger, cookbook author (Cabin Full of Food on Amazon), and homesteader. Yea, that 40 milestone happens to the best of us. Once you’re over the bump, the rest of the trip is downhill, so it’s easier (and faster). *grin*

  16. Thanks for the welcome! Clever way to do the commentathon post. Congrats on nearing the 40 milestone. It happens to the best of us. I was dreading it, but it hasn’t been too bad. Great job on the DIY projects too.

  17. Hello! Great to meet you! I had a hamster once and he liked rolling around in his ball thingy. He used to chase the cat! HA! Totally freaked the cat out. I suppose for the cat it made him a R.O.U.S. (hint: Princess Bride)

    I am brand new to blogging and, honestly, was not ready to open up my blog but wanted to participate in the comentathon. So I opened up with hardly any content and I am so glad I did. I’ve met some nice folks I would not have met otherwise.

  23. OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVE.LOVE, LOVE Hawaii 5-0! Your DIY makeover is beautiful. I’ve been blogging since 2007, I began as a way for our family and friends to keep up with us in a our ministry. Over the years it has turned into an outlet to share my faith, homemaking and homeschooling thoughts. It’s nice to meet you!

    • Thanks so much!!! It was fun to do and pretty cheap for 2 cabinets. 🙂 The background is actually contact paper I found at the Dollar Store – SCORE!!! 🙂 I had used it for another project in the living room area. So helps tie the two areas together subtly. I’m sneaky like that. 😛

  27. I’m Tiki from Grow It Girl. I started blogging about my hair journey but now I chat about beauty and lifestyle. Nice to meet you!

  31. I’m new to blogging. Very glad not to have as many hats as you do, but have enough with a full time job and a life.

    This article is certainly a change of pace for the commentathon. Unique, I wouldn’t have thought to simply write a welcome.

    So when hubby figured out your rouse, why not just give you the car? He must have known you’d be happy to get it. Besides having a spare, just in case is kinda smart. That’s my story and I would sell it like mad.

  34. Hey there! Yes you do a lot and it’s great you share why you to in hopes to help and share with others. I hope I can learn to be a boo boo kisser, because right now I think it’s just ugh in a good way. ?

  37. Hi. I’m Erlene from My Pinterventures, nice to meet you! What kind of hamster did you get? We have dwarf hamster and have gone through two litters already. I grew up in Hawaii, but I haven’t seen any of the new Hawaii 5-0 shows…I did watch the original ones 🙂 I’m old.

    • HI! We have two dwarf hamsters and two cages. We kept two babies from the first two hamster litters and they will let us play with them and handle them without biting. It’s fun!

      I remember watching some of the first Hawaii episodes too! I as well am OLD. LOL I’m really into the new one. We watched the first 5 seasons on VUDU and am just waiting for tomorrow night when the new season starts!!! yahoooo!

  38. Hi, nice to meet you! Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m a new blogger with five littles and trying to make room for blogging too. I’m not quite 40 (but will be there in 2 years) so I can relate to the “trying to define” yourself part in the upcoming new stage of life. Thanks for sharing about yourself!

    • WOW! 5 littles! That’s awesome! I love my 3 sweet babies. 🙂 Yep, 40 is looming on the horizon but I’m kind of excited! I feel so much more confident now in this stage in my life then in my 20s and even some of my 30s. Still there better be some ice cream cake at my bday this year! LOL

    • Ohhhh so you know how I feel! The social media stuff changes so fast that I’ve had to re-learn stuff. Plus I switched from blogger to wp and that has been a learning experience too. I’m so thankful for Blogelina! 🙂

  44. Nice to meet you. I’m a DIY’er too. (and a grammie boo boo kisser) I like blogging too because of all the connections I’ve made. Too many years I was isolated at home raising kids; the internet has changed that for many. Now the world is our play ground! I’m going to check out your DIYing now…

  45. We mothers do play lots of roles, don’t we? My most time-consuming role is as the chauffeur. I swear I spend more time driving my kids around than I do in my house.

    I also like DIY projects and am also a fairly new blogger. Nice to meet you!

    • Welcome!!! It’s handy that there are so many resources now for bloggers! I’m loving Blogelina! Thanks so much for visiting!!

      PS My sister’s kids are teenagers and she figured during certain sports seasons she can spend 2 hours in the car daily!

  47. I loved your Welcome sign when I came onto your blog!!

    Your shelf makeover is beautiful. I am also a crafter and would love to have something so wonderful to display my supplies.

    I enjoyed visiting your blog and will come visit again!!

  48. Nice to meet ya! You’re right, meeting all sorts of interesting people is one of my favorite parts about blogging, too–Loved your about page, I’m partial to Corvettes ever since I toured the plant in Bowling Green as a kid with my dad, and that verse from 2 Timothy that you put at the end is one of my all-time favorites–it’s also how I hope to feel when I come to the end of life.

  50. Hi Cindy,
    I had to laugh when I read all of your “roles”–particularly the booboo kisser 🙂 It is so true; we wear lots of hats, but it also seems like you know how to relax (Hawaii 5-0).

    BTW: which bible study are you doing? I am currently doing a bible study with Proverbs 31.org (Lysa Terkeurst)–it is great and they are free.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Reply

    • I’ve heard of Proverbs 31 ministries but didn’t know they had the online Bible studies! cool. I’ll have to check that out!

      I’m doing a Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) study on Revelations. Just starting the last two weeks and I like it so far. I really like to read Revelations and prophecy. I’m interested that the news just released the info that more security was breached with millions of SSN being hacked and I wonder how these hacks are going to be a way to rush in the mark of the beast. Who knows! Just interesting!!! I’m so glad to know who is triumphant in the end. 🙂

  51. Hello! I’m Kayla and the first to comment. Yay!

    I am also a blogger and an author. I actually have a book launch coming up in January.

    I love that you’re in to DIY projects. I love to try these, but I usually end up on the Pinterest FAIL list. LOL.

    Great to meet you.

    Reply

    • HAHAHAH! Yep, I too had projects that should be on a pinterest fail list! Last Easter I tried to make my deviled eggs look like little chicks with black olive slices for eyes, carrots for the beak, etc. Um it looked more like deranged birds! ha!

      Ohhhh I’d love to read more about your book launch! Visiting your site…

  52. Hi Cindy,

    I’m delighted to meet you! Looks like we have a lot in common – including that strange addiction to Hawaii 5-0!

    Since you’re re-starting your journey through the blogosphere, come connect with us at Friendship Friday – it’s a great place to meet a lot of kindred spirits!

    Have an awesome week during the Commentatathon! 🙂
