Ultimate Blog Party!

Ultimate Blog Party 2010


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?

  6. Stopping by from ubp! Wow, first off I love the tagline of your blog and I love that you blogged through the book about giving Christmas away. I heard about his book on the radio and loved the idea. Also, your kids are cute and I love, love, love how they are all coordinating (visit my party post to see a pic of my family coordinated too)

  9. Hey there!! "You had me at Hello!" Stopped by from the party and I will be back for sure!! I look forward to getting to know you and your beautiful kiddos!! ~Jacki

    So for the question..

    My favorite sleeping position is on my stomach. I slept on my stomach almost my whole pregnancy (the last time) That is how much I LOVE IT!!

    and for my question for the next person who comments...

    If you could buy yourself one new item today, what would it be?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Visiting from UBP2010; your family is lovely! I look forward to following you!

    If I could buy one new item today, it would be a bathing suit that fits properly! :)

    My question for the next commenter is, What time do you go to bed at night?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Glad to stop by your blog from the UBP! I look forward to looking around more. :-)

    I usually go to bed anywhere between 10 and 12.... :)

    New question: What is your favorite song?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I love the give Christmas away idea. I blogged this past Dec. on the "Christmas Conspiracy" and as a family we cut our Christmas spending in half this past Christmas and gave the other half away. I just kept thinking, "What does Jesus really want for His birthday?".

    Okay, to answer the last comment question: I love the song "Whatever You're Doing" by Sanctus Real and actually used a line of the song to come up with my blog title!

    New question: If you had 3 hours today, how would you use them?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I LOVE your blog! Being a stay at home mom to our 3 month old is my dream job too! You have a beautiful family.

    My favorite song is How Deep The Father's Love.

    New question: What is your favorite book?

  15. What a great blog! Happy party week! I look forward to stopping back often.

    Favorite book: besides the Bible, I'd have to say Stepping Heavenward by Mrs. E Prentis.

    New question: What did you want to be when you grew up when you were a child?

    I love the concept of how you began your blog. I'm so happy I found you on this corner of the bloggy world.

  29. You having a boy after 3 girls gives me hope...hmmm...Love the clothes from the children's place, by the way. I totally thought of buying the same ones, so cute!!

    We have two girls and are a homeschooling family too. Oh, and our girls are 3 years apart too!

    I think the most recent question was what is your favorite season, I love everything about spring and fall. Fall is all about pumpkins and apples and beautiful colors...but, everything dies. Spring is all about green and new life and the risen Lord. Too hard to decide!

    Hope you can stop by and say hello when you get the chance!

    My question would be...what are you hoping to get out of the blog party?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Love the comment game. How fun! I've got an 8 month little guy too - and I agree. The time is going waaaay too fast.

    And to the blog party question, I really want to meet other moms with similar hearts and ideas, plus want to grow my blog traffic a bit. That's not as big a deal though...I just want to connect mostly!

    My question - what's your favorite indulgent treat?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hi, from another homeschool momma here on the UBP! Your children are beautiful. I have two daughters. I hope you can stop by my place (#225): http://tinahollenbeck.blogspot.com/2010/04/2010-ultimate-blog-party.html.

  32. CUTE CUTE blog and kiddos! Love that blue and yellow picture!!!

    I have so enjoyed getting your comments! What a sweetie!

    Favorite indulgent treat - Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch!

    My question: Blog you MUST visit everyday?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I thought I had commented sometime last week, but I don't see it... :-)

    Thanks for stopping by our blog! I'm interested in book club for The Passionate Housewives but the link you left on our blog didn't work.
