Introduction

I have wanted to blog for a long time.  I read so many blogs and have gleaned so much through the years from those blogs, but I thought, "What do I have to offer?"

I don't have any real "gifts".  I'm not particularly crafty.  Not musical.  I can't even say that I've been given the gift of writing.  So what would make me a blogger?  What do I have to offer?

The answer?  A lot.

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.  Titus 2: 3-5

 

While, at 45, I wouldn't necessarily call myself "aged" I have lived and learned.  I had my first child at 18 which makes me the mother of a 27 year old daughter, who is married and has two children of her own.  My daughter has a three year old son and a one year old daughter, otherwise known as the loves of my life.

 

I have another daughter who is 24 years old.  She bought a house a year ago and isn't married yet, but is loving being a career woman as well as a homemaker. 

 

Of course, I'm married to a wonderful man.  Is everyday a day of roses?  No.  But, we have had a lot of years together and love each other and are committed to one another.  Something that I feel is lacking today.  It seems that today's idea of marriage is "as long as we both think it's a good idea." 

 

So, to wrap this first little bit of rambling up, I'm a wife, mother, mother in law, and nana.  I've cooked meals, cleaned house, nurtured children, and a husband for over half my life so I suppose that qualifies me to have a blog!

Oh, and the title of my blog, "When did I become a Nana?"  That comes from the fact that yesterday I had babies and today I'm a Nana.  Blink and life has flown by.
