Ultimate Blog Party 2009

Making this post "sticky" so it will be easier to find till the end of the party!

It's Party Time!

Every party has it's early birds as well as those who are fashionably late, and the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 is no exception! I've already had one visitor to my Party invitation post, so I'm going to go ahead and put my actual party post a little bit early!

Welcome to A Virtuous Woman!

For those of you who may be visiting, I am, as my profile states, first and foremost a Christian woman, wife, and mother. I am a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God, and would love to have an opportunity to minister to your church or women's group on a number of different topics. At this time I have two bases of operation, one in Southwest Louisiana, which is home, and one in Columbus, Georgia, which is home away from home.

This blog started out to chronicle my struggle to become a true chayil woman of strength and virtue. Some of my favorite posts on this topic are:

• It's a Love/Hate Relationship
• What Does Virtuous Mean?
• Meat to Her Household

I'm also a newly frugal couponer and deal chaser, so lately a lot of my blog posts have been about the fabulous frugal and free deals I find. For frugal shopping posts, check out my Mission Possible label.

I have a food blog, Secrets of Southern Kitchen where I post easy, everyday recipes and kitchen tips. Stop by there for some quick and easy party foods!

Please feel free to look around, leave a comment, try out a recipe, and by all means, come back and visit any time.

For questions or contact information email me at charlene@avirtuouswoman.info.
