Due to our circumstances and budget, I have to learn how to be a more frugal, effective housewife and homeschooler.  This takes a lot of creativitiy and imagination.  So I'm focusing  the majority of my blog on my "adventures" in creativity.  I put "wannabe" in the title because I'm busting my brain trying to force it to get creative.  This does not come naturally for me!  Some of my entries might not be that creative, maybe common sense for most of you,  but I have to work really hard at it.  But I figured that maybe I'm not alone and I just might motivate someone.  My goal is to show that it takes trial and error and to hopefully give some moms proof that you don't have to be born a Martha Stewart to be a homemaker and homeschooling mom.  Alot of us homeschooling moms are being self-homeschooled too and it's ok!  God is giving me the stregnth, knowledge, and resources that I need.  I'm just figuring out what to do with it all, lol!  So I praise him with all my soul for being so providential!

Dear Lord, I praise You and glorify Your name!  You truly know my struggles as a housewife and mother and yet You are always there and You always provide what I need!  Thank You for the the creativity and the knowlege that You are giving me from the resources You have provided, such as when you have inspired my toughts; the friendships that are helping me to grow; from Your Church and the Scriptures, it's teachers, leaders and communities; from the homeschooling community. They are all helping me grow as a Christian woman.  Forever I will sing of Your Goodness.  I ask that you help me to never give up and to always realize what my priorities need to be. 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, AMEN
