Ultimate Blog Party!

This is my first year to be participating in the Ultimate Blog party and I'm super excited about finding new blogs and other bloggers finding me!

I'm Lindsay {Hi, Lindsay}.

This is me...without the extra pregnancy weight I can't seem to get rid of after baby #4.

I'm married to Derek {today is actually our 9 year wedding anniversary!} and we have 4 precious kiddos. Three girls- ages 8, 5, and 2, and 1 little guy who's 8 months {and growing too fast, if you ask me!}.

I'm staying home, homeschooling the 2 big ones and, with my hubby, training them up in the way they should go. I've discovered this is not a small or easy job but Because He Gave {hence the blog name} I'm pretty sure we can do this!

We created this blog in December of 2009 to blog our way through Matthew Wests book 101 Simple and Thoughtful Ways to Give This Christmas Away. Our goal was to give Christmas away in at least 25 different ways, or ideas, from the book. It was really cool to see how the Lord used the book to teach and grow us over this past Christmas season! Our hope is that we continue to be open to the ways He would have us give of ourselves to others, even when it's not the holidays. 

So, take a look around and join us on this little journey called life!

And, while you're at it {I totally stole this from another blog} we'll play a little game. I'll ask a question. The first commenter answers the question and then leaves a new question for the next commenter. And we'll just keep going.

Make sure and leave your blog address so I can come "meet" you too!

Heres the first question: What's your funniest mom moment ever?
