Welcome to my first ever Blog Party!So glad you could stop by!
To get involved in the action, stop by 5 Minutes for Mom. They will be partying all week. You can post a party at you blog, or just sign up to win some of the great prizes (including gift certificates, books, stuff for kids, stuff for you... and much more).
For those of you who are new here, let me introduce myself. I'm Christy, the contemplative mom. I am the wife of a full-time graduate student - we've been married almost 10 years - and the mother of two young children - my son is 3 and my daughter is 1.
In the busyness of life, I have begun to wonder... is it possible to be a mom and still be contemplative? I started this blog last October out of my desire for community as I strive to live contemplatively. Here you can share in my journey as I learn how to live in continual meditative prayer and to bring glory to God in both the spiritual and the mundane tasks of life.
Check out my post on living a prepared life to understand more of my motivations and themes. I enjoy reading and writing about my children (crafts, parenting idea, books, etc.), my home (organization, projects, etc.), my faith (prayer, Bible study, contemplations, etc.), food and more.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Take a look around and please let me know how you enjoyed your stay.
And don't forget to check out the great prizes available at the party.

I really enjoyed my visit to your blog! I will be following you and look forward to getting to know you better!
Yes, being contemplative as a mother of young children is not only possible, it's a must!!! If anything, my busy life (complete with four) has made me crave it even more. Actually, God has used my children to grow me, perfect me as they are the agents he most often uses to smooth out my many rough edges!
Keep to your pondering and your pen and your mothering and your wifing, and all the other "things" that fill your life. They are your gifts.

Hi, Christy! Thanks for stopping by my blog! :) I hope you have fun with the crayon project! My kids like watching the crayons while they melt. I'm going to have to look into getting An Easter Carol for my kids. I don't think I have heard that song before. It was beautiful. :)
Pleased to meet you, yes I believe being contemplative is a requirement for a Mom of any age ;O)
Love your blog, glad I stopped by from the UBP '09. It's so wonderful to meet new people. Enjoy the rest of the party and stop by if you get a chance!
