Welcome to... The Milk & Honey TeaRoom

Your Hostess:


Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm your hostess Lady Rachel, and this is the blog of a fourteen-year-old girl, who is striving to become a woman of God. I am a homeschool student, living on our small hobby farm with my 7 siblings, from ranging from ages 18-1yo. Take a look at my life as the 3rd daughter from a large homeschooling family and how God walks with me through it. Blessings!

The Official Feelin' Feminine Site!

Most of you have heard of Jocelyn's new site, Feelin' Feminine. She started it so she could put all the Challenges she is going to do for her Feelin' Feminine Challenge. The goal of the site is to, "Encourage, inspiring, and challenge young ladies to rediscover the treasure of dressing femininely modest." Sounds good to me. Look at his lovely banner Jocelyn made for it -
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn63/sillydreamer91/feelin%20feminine/ffbanner.png
She used the picture of my Great Grandmother on her wedding day. Wasn't she very pretty? I have always liked that picture. And now, all the girls who wants to be feminine has it on their blogs!

Jocelyn also made this icon to put on your sidebar. There is another one too, but it doesn't have my Grandmother on it. The colours are so old-fashioned looking, aren't they? You can go to the site, Sign The Petition and Leave a Review.

You can also be on the Feelin' Feminine Blogroll. All you have to do is fill out the form on the entry, and Jocelyn will check out your site and if she thinks you're qualified, you get the code and your name on the blogroll!

Jocelyn also has a list of Modest Apparel Sites on there too. You can go check it out for some great modest apparel for you and your sisters.

You can also have Jocelyn put your ad on the site too, you ask her. You can also sign up to be a Reader.

Well, anyways, I just wanted to tell you all about it. :) You can go check out any of the links you want. I'm sure you will find the site to be, well, pleasing to you. :) Jocelyn did a fantastic job on getting it set up. I love the theme and colours!

Sincerely,
http://homeschoolblogger.com/uploads/b/BlogTips/64792.png

I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fourteen-year-old girl from the country. "You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!" Philippians 4:13

MJ did a wonderful job, the blog turned out beautifully.

No, I did not think you had, otherwise I'm sure you would have seen where I put that in. That's ok though, you were not offensive in anyway me dear, I understand your point of view.

I understand to your point about being swayed by going to a college (esspecally a public one). I think your right on that point, but also I agree with the lady that I was talking about I trust her judgement for the most part and she's a very good role model. I think that you have to take that sort of thing person by person, some people are swayed much easier than others. Some get an idea or a opinion in their head and they stand firm and grounded in it, which is what we need in our christan lives, I think people (because homeschooling is a man/fathers choice also) who are more gorounded and firm are going to have an easier time going through a publicly taught system. Know what I mean?

Yes, I said I would love to be a pen pal withyou! LoL I look forward to it! love ya girly!

Yes, I tried to make it as interesting as possible. =)

Indeed, I'm looking forward to meeting him. He is so adorable!

My mattress is 8 years old, so it squeaks too, but not nearly as much as my bed. =}

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - Regarding the ALOF Book Rewards

Posted by bookwormbethy5

They do not have a page on this.. this is the exact email that I received.

No purchase necessary to participate. (Check your local library for availability; if they don't have the books, have the librarian call us to order).

As long as it is a part of one of their series, I don't think it matters what books you read, even if they are from 3 different series. :) You just have to read over 5 books.

Maybe it would be helpful to reread the post, to catch things you may not have caught previously. :)

I have a story written, I'll send it to you in a PM. Then you can decide if you'd like to use it or not! =)

Well... Let's see if I can explain this to where it makes a *little* sense.

Good guys have side-kicks, right? Well, a "partner-in-crime" is like the bad guy's side-kick. See?

I've got a picture and a story written, so that can be used as the "starter story". =) Then we can say something like, "Do you have a picture you'd like to have a story written about? If so, please send the URL to crochetcrazy." or something...

Hi!

I think that The Feelin' Feminine Website is very neat. I am really excited to see where it will go in the future.

I think it would be neat if you could knit. It is a rather rewarding pastime! :) Also, it is not hard to learn. In fact, you could teach yourself!

Thank you for the comment.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!
Miss Eyebright
