About Me: My heart is to pursue creativity ~ to discover beauty anywhere! I'm not into highlighting the ugly, so yes, this blog is only a portion of my life because we all have difficulties. I write real but chose not to post pictures of dirty dishes. We can all look in our own houses for those without seeing someone else's. My photography is an extension of my creativity/love of art. My writing, an extension of my heart to love my husband, kids, God. In case you wonder, we're not into the quiverfull movement just because we have a larger family. We homeschool a few, use tutors for a few and some go to school. I'm not into legalism, issues, bashing others not like me, or promoting religion. The blog is public because we've got lots of relatives all over who don't have xanga accounts, plus I've met lots of wonderful women this way. Please do not use pics or writing w/out asking. I don't facebook, tweet, etc so if you see someone claiming to be me it's not.
