Hello!

Hello! And welcome to the new and improved blog! I now have a much better understanding of how to configure this curious world known as the internet, and am so looking forward to beginning our journey together, dear reader. 

First of all, allow me to explain why I chose the word "sincerely." According to dictionary.com, sincerely is defined as "1. free of deceit, hypocrisy, or falseness; earnest: 2. genuine, real: 3. pure; unmixed; unadulterated." These are my goals for this blog. My hope is to bring a viewpoint to you that perhaps you had not yet considered. And in doing so, I plan to be transparent. Not for the sake of divulging my personal or private matters, but rather, to encourage a community that is honest and a space where we can all learn.

Second, my goals. In writing this blog, I want to share with you, reader, the everyday experiences of a 20-something, married, mothering, female in the Pacific Northwest (or the #PNW, for the social media savvy). I am a firm believer that our experiences are not only for our benefit, but also for the benefit of others. If you can relate to what I write about, wonderful! If not, please do be patient, and feel free to ask questions!

Third, and final, the posts that you read on this blog should always point back to God, the mercy that I have been shown, and His sustaining grace of putting His Son on the cross as a means to pay the price for my sins. And the truth of salvation is the real driving factor of this blog. God is good - so, so very good -and I believe that His goodness is meant to be shared. It is also what makes me  desire to share my experiences on this blog. 

My last blog saw me through the defeat of not finishing nursing school, the joy of getting married, the vulnerability of moving somewhere totally new, and the thrill of a year-in-the-life. With this blog, and hopefully your support, I hope to share the ups and downs of being a stay-at-home-mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter, and all other titles given to me. 

So, with that, here we go!

Sincerely, 

Elisabeth
