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.

Thanks for stopping by our blog and checking out what is new. It has been so fun to keep a little journal of our life and let our friends and family take a peek. Follow us as we walk down the path that God leads and hopefully all we do will glorify him.
We love to hear from you. All the comments now will come to our email address first and then we can post them. So click on comments and let us know you came by for a virtual visit. Since so many friends are many miles away, let this be a great way to connect. We love to know that you came by.
Enjoy.
