Introduction I am the wife of a Navy chaplain, and a homeschooling stay-at-home mom to our four beautiful children. I'm also "Mommy" to our fur-babies: a furry goofball of a golden retriever who is my shadow, and a very fluffy cat who thinks he's in charge. Most importantly, I am a follower of Jesus: a sinner, saved by His grace, and striving to live my life for Him.
Interests Reading, crochet, trying out new recipes, finding new ways to entertain my kids, research, writing, teaching, digging into God's word, worshiping God, pets, aromatherapy (at the moment), and homeschooling!
Favorite Movies Friendly Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice (the 6 hr BBC version), On Moonlight Bay
Favorite Music Josh Groban, Nora Jones, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Bing Crosby, Natalie Grant, Casting Crowns, classic hymns, folk songs
Favorite Books Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?

Nope. If I have to think about whether or not to hit "snooze," I'm usually trying to justify another ten minutes of sleep. Is it really worth skipping a shower or having the kids cut in on my morning quiet time?
