Blog Party 2010


Welcome to Janette's Sage, where I am learning to blog through the eyes of a middle-aged mom enjoying and stumbling through life's journey, through my 30 years of marriage to my high school sweet heart and our six children.



Our house is always busy with our married, career, college, Jr High and four-year old blessings.  Our daughter-in-law has added another female to our male-dominated world.


I love to be creative! I am energized when I have made something with my hands. I am loving the ideas I am getting through the blogs.


I have home-schooled for 21 years and graduated four of my six from high school through home education.  This has kept me very busy and satisfied, but I am now a 75% empty-nester, which is changing my world.


I am a want-to-be owner of land with a cottage-style house and Tusha Tudor garden, but instead I live on a postage size lot in the middle of a fast pace metro-plex.  Learning to take that dream, and have it manifest where God has me at this time, is the journey I am walking.


I love the Lord Jesus and my relationship with Him guides me through the many storms and joys of life that we all experience.


Thanks for dropping by and hope you can come again and visit.

    Cool wonderful to be the mom to six sons... what an honor! Being the mama of just one, I realize more and more the importance of raising my son into a Man of God. And you seem to be doing a wonderful job!

    Great to meet you... hope you had fun at the UBParty!

    I am delighted to meet you!

    Thank you for stopping by Heart Choices and leaving your kind comment.

    I had to laugh at your description of the home you desire as you live in your postage stamp one. A girl can keep dreaming, right?

    I love that you've been married for 30 years. I've been married for 25 years. I'll be back to visit again. We also share a love for the Lord and that's the most important thing.

    Blessings,
    Debbie

    Hi Janette! Welcome to the party! I hope you are having fun. I haven't seen that spelling before. Do you know it's origin? My spelling is the French one after my great grandmother.
