who I am

Hello, and welcome to this little corner of the web. I am honored that you are here!

My name is Allyson.
I am a mid-thirty-year-old wife and Mommy of four incredible boys, ages ranging from 9 to 15.

I view each day as a gift, and try to live each one to the fullest.

When I'm not homeschooling and playing with my boys, or spending time with my husband,
my favorite things to do are:
gardening, reading, writing,
 listening to music, playing music, teaching music, singing,
game nights and gathering with friends,
crafting..all sorts, taking pictures.
I love creativity, and am not one to stay "in the box".
Bright colors capture me. Stripes and polka dots make it even better.

God's creation inspires me, His Word transforms me, and His Spirit indwells me.
I am a child of God, a follower of Jesus Christ.
My utmost desire is to live a life pleasing to Him.

This blog is simply a smattering of all the above, nothing too fancy.
There are many blogs that I enjoy reading. 
Through them I've found encouragement, edification, friends, creative new ideas and more.
I hope that you find some of these same things here.
Thank you for stopping in.
