Come on in
and peek into my hope chest of wisdom. I am journaling little bits of wisdom, advice, ideas, thoughts, and tips for my daughter. Not only do I want to give her a hope chest full of meaningful items some day but I want to pass down to her the blessings of things learned that may come in handy when she is grown. You are welcome to follow along as this journal becomes full.
Prayer for my home
Let those that are united to me in tender ties be precious in thy sight and devoted to thy glory. Sanctify and prosper my domestic devotion, instruction, discipline, example, that my house may be a nursery for heaven,

I just wanted to say I think this blog is a wonderful idea for your daughter. I am a stay at home wife and mother and I am always very frustrated that I have to learn things that I think my mother should have taught me. She is still around, but she works so much and is so busy with my stepfather that I always just research things on my own on the internet. Your blog has already given me info that I didn't think of.
