A Second Generation of Homeschooling

New "Titus 2 - At The Well" Women's Devotional Site! Come Join Us for the GRAND OPENING!

I have had the immense privilege of being a contributing writer for the "At The Well" devotional blog meme for a while now. However, Chelsey (the wonder woman behind the project) is now having a GRAND OPENING for the new "Titus 2 - At The Well" site! February 2nd is the grand opening of the new site. Come by and visit and join us a few times a week to learn more about your role as a wife and mother! This is a GREAT project that I believe we can all benefit from participating in! Join us on February 2nd - mark your calendars now - and check out the new site HERE!
