About Me
- crispy
- United States
- I am a child of God. A wife to my best friend. A homeschool mom to my children. And more than anything, I desire to be more Christlike in all I do, glorifying Him with all my actions, attitudes, thoughts and motives. PETERS PEAPOD is our family blog. ADOPTING SWEET PEA is our adoption journey. MESSY MOOSE is a blog for my daughters writings. WORTHY OF THE CALLING is a blog I sometimes use for Bible study.
