I think it is such a blessing that you are able to use this blog as a way to bring humor as well as the realities of being a stay-at-home mom to so many of us. The fact that you ALSO make sure to stay so open and up-front about your Christian faith is wonderful. I pray that God will continue to use your witness with the release of your book and the continuation of this blog.
