Labeling Hallee (as a Homemaker)

Posted by Hallee on Mar 3, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Christian Faith, Family, Holy matrimony, Life, Parenting

I do not believe the following labels apply to me:

working mother
career woman
stay-at-home-mom (SAHM)
work-at-home-mom (WAHM)
housewife
full-time mom
Personally, the label I prefer is that of Homemaker.

Dressed for Success

Posted by Hallee on Feb 23, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Holy matrimony, Housekeeping, Life, Marriage

He’d said this to me for years – in fact, in an email I received from him a week after I met him, he extolled how much he loved the fact that I put an effort into looking nice. But this time, reading it, I took it as an accusation – as in, “I would appreciate it if you would put an effort into your appearance, but you don’t because you’re fat, ugly, frumpy, limp.”

Out with Adsense, In with Good Sense

Posted by Hallee on Feb 22, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Blog Stuff

Unlike the Chrstianbook.com and occasional Amazon links found here, we had no control over the content of the Google Ads, and they very often linked to sites that were in direct oppostion to my mission statement. We decided to remove the Google Ads from the main blog. We felt they had no place here.

Love, True Love

Posted by Hallee on Feb 14, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Holy matrimony, Love, Marriage, Romance

Today we celebrate love. Or, at least, Hallmark and supermarkets and florists all over the world hope we’re celebrating it. Wives who have the Love Language of receiving gifts hope their husbands are celebrating it.

Blizzard Bloghop

For those of you who read me who are not in the “blogging world”, this weekend is a huge blogging conference called Blissdom. Some of us couldn’t go because an ocean separates them from Nashville, some of us chose not to go because our husbands went back to Afghanistan last weekend and we thought the stress of Mommy going away for a whole weekend would be too much for our toddlers, and some of us just couldn’t go.

My Testimony

I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at the ripe old age of 5. Some of you reading this may think that 5 is too young, but I knew the Truth, could answer all of the questions posed to me by my parents and my pastor, and so they determined that I would be allowed to make a public profession of faith, followed by a water baptism. I was so small that my feet flew up out of the water when the pastor dunked me. I’d love to say that my journey ended there. I’d love to say that I’ve been the epitome of the perfect Christian girl and that I lived every day in the subsequent 32 years for God. However, that’s not my story.

Quiet Time

Posted by Hallee on Jan 25, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Blog Stuff, Christian Faith, Prayer

For several weeks, Gregg has been insisting that while he’s home, I’m to take a day away. Away from the boys. Away from the house. Away from him. I’m to go somewhere alone, with my Bible, with a notepad, and just spend the day with God.

Guest Post: Money Saving Meg on Outlet Shopping

Posted by Hallee on Jan 15, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Budgeting, Family, Stewardship, fellowship

I meet with friends semi-annually at the nearby outlets to share a meal, quickly catch up on our lives, and give our children a chance to play together. We look forward to this so much. It is not just about the outlet deals, but the camaraderie and fun associated with the trip.

Pondering Pennies Past & Present

A friend’s blog post from this week inspired me to write this today. She blogged about taking over their family’s finances and looking forward to the coming year and seeing what she can do about emergency funds and vacation funds and such.
