Just a little quiz for you...


Good Evening sweet ladies...
 I had an interesting day today... Terry went away and I had a chance to work on one of my favorite chores...
LIST MAKING...

I am a junkee list maker.. I love pens, notebooks and cups of tea ...
All at the same time.. grin..
And if I throw a cookie in there it is even better.. smile..

My dear son-in-law has made fun of me for 20 plus years saying that I write things like brush my hair and teeth, etc..
I don't... honest.. I write.. Wake up.. Get dressed.. Have breakfast..
Then I get down to the nitty gritty...grin... 
Like the things I would like to accomplish in my day or week or year ... Who knows..

I have lists of things I would like to accomplish ... Lists of people to pray for... Lists of goals..Menus.. People I would like to have over.. I can go on and on..

Spiritual and Physical...

Anyway... This time of year brings out the real  McCoy of list making efforts in me..
 The year is ending and a whole new page is available for me to fill in with lists...
New year resolutions have nothing on me.. grin.. 

Don't get excited and think that I am a superwoman... Nope.. I don't accomplish half of what I yearn to do.. But my heart really wants me to strive and the lists help me.. A lot... . 
I love crossing things off..  
grin...

With that in mind I would like for you to do a little favor for me.. 
I am so thankful for how this blog is doing but I would like for it to do even better..I know that this it is very small compared to many but anyway.... 
 Therefore.... 
Would you please fill out a little quiz for me.. 
PLEASE... grin.. 

Just answer the questions in the comments section or email me at 
houseofhenry@hotmail.com  

There are only 5 questions... OK?

1..What is your age group.. up to 49 years or over 50??

2.. What is your main interests besides your family and church.. 
Like recipes, crafts, decor, back to basics skills, etc

3..Are you a stay at home homemaker or do you work outside of the home also??

4..Do you have children and are they still at home or are you an empty nester?

5..What do you enjoy most about the Blessed Hearth Blog? 

Thank you my dears.. I really appreciate this..
I know that this will help me a lot..
Thanks for being so faithful and dropping by and leaving your dear comments..

Looking forward to hearing from you...

May God bless and keep you...
Hugs

    Good evening Faye,
    Here goes:

    1. God has blessed me beyond measure with 56 wonderful years on this earth.
    2. I love "playing" in my home. Changing around furniture, decorating with prims and vintage items, and anything old that can be repurposed.
    3. I have been blessed to stay at home. I did work some outside the home before my daughter was born but haven't worked since. (almost 30 years ago).
    4. We have one daughter who is married and we have a 4 year old granddaughter. The house is empty now just the mister and myself.
    5. I love the way you write on your blog, the relationship you have with God, the love of your family, all the tips and recipes you share and you know I love your little spot in the world. Such beautiful landscapes. Would so love to visit your shop in the summer. Also wouldn't mind a trip to the old farm either. Such wonderful places you have there.
    Wishing you a fantastic Friday.
    Angela

    I am 37, a homemaker, home school mom to 4 daughters 17, 15, 11 and 10. I love that you seem to take Titus 2 seriously, and that you seem to be someone I could share a cuppa coffee or tea with and have a great chat. I love the crafts, the pictures of your everyday life and the scripture you are not ashamed to post.

    By the way, my name is Tanya! It is good to 'meet' you! I have been eavesdropping for a couple of months now, I think. I find what I read here encouraging!

    Because of Him,
    Tanya

    Dear friends,
    I am under 45 (about 20 years under)
    Right now my interests are changing our lifestyle to a more healthy one. I have always been a "healthy" person since my teens. (I lost over 60 pounds and kept it off)Lately I have been switching to whole foods and organic, DIY things. (like whole wheat cinnamon rolls, yum) This has been my main "me time" consumer lately. surfing the net trying to figure it all out. That and understanding more about fertility. My husband and I are trying to conceive (doc thinks I have PCOS). My husband and I are missionaries so I kind of am a stay at home homemaker, but you could also say I have a full-time ministry job. No kids yet, as stated above, we hope soon though. Not sure what I like about blessed hearth so far. I'm pretty new, but I always love whole food recipes and DIY homemaking.

    1..What is your age group.. up to 49 years or over 50?? I am 56 years young and proud of it!
    2.. What is your main interests besides your family and church.. Like recipes, crafts, decor, back to basics skills, etc. Decorating, antiquing, reading, as much gardening as my hips and knees allow, travling the back roads of NE, breaking bread with friends to name a few...
    3..Are you a stay at home homemaker or do you work outside of the home also?? I work part time outside the home taking photographs for a magazine. But my main job is keeper of the home.
    4..Do you have children and are they still at home or are you an empty nester? 2 grown children so technically empty nesters but my grand daughter is here 3 days a week.

    5..What do you enjoy most about the Blessed Hearth Blog. I enjoy seeing another side of life different from my own ~ like the farm visits for example. New recipes I haven't heard of. And I especially like that you also take seriously your role as Keeper of the Home.

    What a great idea for a post!! Wishing you and yours a Happy Healthy New Year!!

    Hi, Faye,
    I am 38, and I enjoy all the sorts of things you share...crafts, recipes, decor...
    I am a Pastor's wife, and our church has a Christian school...I am the secretary of our school. I'm blessed that I can be with our daughter every day and know where she is and what she's doing. :)
    My husband and I have been blessed with one daughter. She's almost 14 now...*sigh*. We always wanted to have more children...it has not worked out that way, but we are happy and content with what God has blessed us with.
    I am fairly new to your blog and am still enjoying the snowman giveaway you had. They're still displayed and I'll keep them up all winter. :)
    I enjoy everything about your blog, and am always encouraged when I visit.
