This is going to be short and sweet:
I need a little break. Over the past week or two, I've been feeling led to put blogging aside for a little while, probably a few weeks or so. I've suddenly gone from working at DangerBear's business for 2 hours per day to 5 hours per day, and it seems my blogging time was in those three hours.
I'll also be getting used to a new routine as Chickpea starts first grade at a nearby Christian school. My goal is to work in plenty of fun things for Chickpea and I to do in the afternoons, like crafts, baking, and going to the park.
To you ladies who have multiple children or who homeschool: You have my undying respect and admiration. Right now I feel like I'm doing all I can just to keep my head above water.
I'll definitely be back, so I hope that if you haven't already, that you'll
subscribe so you'll know when I start posting again. I might be on
Twitter from time to time as well.
I love you ladies, and I can't wait to get back to blogging! =)

To those of you who got an error when you tried to visit recently: My apologies. Blogger was having some issues with their custom domain forwarding, and I had just switched to a custom domain the week before. But now we're back in business!
You might notice that my URL is now "www.proverbs14.com" instead of a Blogspot address.
- If you're a subscriber: Don't worry! You don't need to change anything you're doing.
- If you're not a subscriber: Would you like to be? If you've bookmarked a post, don't worry! My old Blogspot address will forward to my new domain, so the link will still work.
At first, I thought I had broken the Internet. It took me a couple of days to realize that I was not the only one having a problem. I think I may have complained about it on
Twitter, but I'm just glad it wasn't my fault!

This is a test post. I'm trying to figure out why my latest post (about magazines) didn't update in my feed reader.
Chickpea: "I can't wait until tomorrow to open my presents!"
Me: "Now Chickpea, what is Easter really about?"
C: "Jesus dying on the cross."
Me: "And...?"
C: "Rising from the dead."
Me: "What 'present' do you get from Jesus?"
C: "Forgiveness."
Me: "Right. And that's the best present of all!"
C: "Yes, that's number one... But I do love those chocolate bunnies."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Praise God for sending His Son to die for us that we might be forgiven our sins! (We can praise God for chocolate bunnies, too.)
Have a Blessed Easter!

Hello, my name is Kate. (Okay, that's not my real name. I'll call it my Secret Identity.)
What a silly way to start a post. I've never really been one for keeping a diary. I always wanted to be the type to journal every day, and every so often I'd buy a pretty blank book and decide to keep a diary. There was always, however, the problem of the first entry. I felt like I ought to introduce myself (To whom?) and give a detailed summary of my life thus far. Otherwise, how would anyone (Like who?) understand what I wrote about? On the other hand, that detailed summary would take quite a long time to write, and there were other things I'd rather do. So usually, I'd get about halfway through the first entry and then forget about it for six months.
Since I've already made it to the second entry, I'm doing a lot better than expected.
Still, though, some kind of background is necessary, so here it is:
I am a Christian homemaker in my 20s, living in Middle-of-Nowhere, USA with my husband (whom I'll call DangerBear) and my five-year-old daughter (Chickpea). I didn't start this blog to gain a readership and spread my wisdom to the four corners of the earth. Definitely not. I started this blog to try and keep myself accountable in my quest to become a better Christian, wife, mother, and homemaker. Hence, the title of this blog: "Which Proverbs 14:1 Woman?"
Proverbs 14:1-
"The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down."
So which Proverbs 14:1 woman am I? Let's just say I have some construction work to do.

Hello! Hello! Hello!
That would be this post echoing off into nowhere, as no one is reading this. When I was in middle/high school, I wanted to have a webpage, but I didn't know what to put on it and didn't know who would ever read it. I spent lots of time designing a fancy-pants site using FrontPage, but the content was, well, lacking. And no one read it.
So here I am: Older, and presumably wiser. Slightly. And here is my blog. I have a better idea of what I want to write about, but I have no idea if anyone will ever read it. Ah, well.
On to business! (In the next post...)
~Kate
