love it!! You rock Hallee!!!
Found your sweet blog on MPM. I love to find other blogs that are “family friendly” and respect God and honor our military folks. I strive to always do the same on my blog; please visit!
I love that you live by a levitical diet. I have been trying to implement that in my families diet, but I struggle when it comes to my husband. He very much likes pork and it is hard to sway him from that. Hpwever he doesnt complain if I subsitute his pork sausage or bacon for turkey so I do that as often as possible. I love to read blogs about families who truely love God and live their lives for him.
I found your blog when researching the Levitical diet. I am attempting to implement this in our home and wanted some advice. God absolutely led me to the right spot! It is so wonderful to find a sister in Christ who is raising her children to love God and serve Him with their lives! It is not often enough that I encounter women who are truly “Not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ”! Thank you for your blog!
I’m so happy you found my blog. Thank you for such kind words of encouragement!

Very cool family Hallee. I hope to be like you one day: A homemaker who grinds her own grain and makes everything from scratch. I’m still a ways off, but I also love to be healthy, and my husband is also my favorite person in the world! He sounds a lot like YOUR husband, actually :)
Thanks for sharing so much of your life with others. I look forward to reading more from you!

Hallee, I would like to add your button to my blog, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Would you mind taking a look at it? Thanks! I definitely want to help promote your blog!
You have alluded many time to a dark time in your marriage and then everything turned around and became great. I know that is very personal stuff, and I have only been following your blog for about 1 year, but I am wondering if you have written about it in more detail before or will in the future?
I love your blog and I always walk away feeling like I want to try harder, do better and that with God’s help I will be able to have my own “turn around.”
I have never written about the details of our dark time. My thoughts are, my details were specific to my marriage, and my relationship with Gregg. I could get bogged down in the details.
.
Someone else might have different details but exactly the same darkness, the same brokenness, the same feelings. What I did to work through mine, how we worked through our marriage, what strengthened us to where we are right now – I think that is more important that the details.
.
However, we have talked about whether we will ever talk about the details, and we haven’t decided yet. If we do, it will be done very prayerfully.
.
Thank you so much for your encouragement.

I find the role you play sad! There is so much more to life than being a homemaker and mom. Plus why would you want man to be above you? He should be beside you and a partner!
Lisa, thank you for your comment. I understand that this may be difficult to understand because we live in a very secular and very feminized culture. But if you have read anything beyond this single page, then you realize that I’ve been a single working woman, and a working mom, and a working single mom after my first husband and I divorced. None of those “roles” provided the complete intellectual, physical, and spiritual richness that working toward make a HOME for myself and my family provides on a daily basis.
.
Also, I do not have “a man” above me as if some random male presence were subjugating and oppressing me. I am deeply blessed in that I have a husband and I am his wife. My husband works unbelievably hard. He has repeatedly demonstrated his love for me and our children by his willingness to sacrifice on levels that I can assure you most selfish WOMEN in this culture would not even contemplate.
.
We are not partners. We are not beside each other. We are ONE. We are unified in purpose and each very comfortable in our roles.
.
I pray God can reveal all of the levels of meaning in this prayerfully considered response and I wish you the very best.
.
God Bless,
Hallee
Thank you so much for your devotion to this blog and sharing the wisdom that God has given you as a woman of her home. I was searching for a ‘Panera Bread Bowl recipe’ and stumbled upon your blog. I follow other homemaking blogs too, but am now also very interested in yours as well. You have yet another new reader to add to your quadrupled numbers. May the Lord bless you for your efforts and love.
Love,
Courtney
