Hello to everyone dropping by the Ultimate Blog Party 2010! I haven't been on-line much lately due to some computer and internet issues, so this year's party kind of snuck up on me. I'm slightly late with my entry, but it's a week-long bash, so let's get ready to party!
My name is Charlene, and I'm a I'm a GRITS gal--Girl Raised In The South. Born and raised in southwest and central Louisiana, I lived there most of my adult life until recently, as well. In the last four years, I've lived in Alaska, Colorado, back to Louisiana for a while, and now in Georgia. Faith and family are central to my life. I'm a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God, and love Women's Ministry and smalltown rural churches. I've been married for 26 years to the same great man, and we have one son, who is a senior in college.
This blog started out to chronicle my struggle to become a true chayil woman of strength and virtue, and it evolves in different directions according to what I'm doing or thinking about.
Topics range from:
- Spiritual reflections
- Frugal shopping and deals
- Thrift store finds
- Couponing
- Dollar Store Decorating
- and more!
I have a companion food blog, Secrets of a Southern Kitchen, where I share simple, easy, recipes for everyday foods, as well as the occasional kitchen tip and food product review.
I'm also on Twitter, @AVirtuousWoman, and would love to follow and be followed there, as well.
At any rate, thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you partying around the blogosphere!
Until next time...
Mmmmm...I love new recipes, may have to stop by there sometime soon!
