Here it Goes!

I have been promising to blog forever now! I'm sure that if you follow me, you know me - but just in case: My name is Melissa Province. I am married to Kirt Province, together and by the Grace of God we have two beautiful boys Autry & Brody. I am a stay at home mother, and I wouldn't change that for the world!

I feel the urge to step on a soap box real fast -

I cannot stand when people say "Oh, so you just stay at home?" REALLY!!! really? I'm going to jump on my soap box for just a minute. Yes, I stay at home - that is in the title STAY AT HOME MOTHER but I assure you it's not all beer and skittles. I don't get to sit around and eat Truffles and watch Dr. Phil and all his daytime cronies. Also, it shocks me when people assume that means you are uneducated if you stay at home. Just for the record I have a Bachelor or Science in Organizational Management from Friends University. Thank U!

(Stepping off my Soap Box.)


This new year I made several resolutions and I really hope I can keep up with all of them! I wanted to create this blog so that I could have a better connection with my family and friends. Sometimes I feel like we live too far away to be able to enjoy each other - really that's not true!! I really hope this blog keeps a connection with everyone whether we live in the same town or states even countries away!!

Another resolution I made was to get into a slimmer shape. I don't want to pin a number on it - I would just like to be another shape - I have been round for too long now!

Finally, I told myself that this year I will make a difference in the lives of others. I stay at home and I love that!! but I could use my time a little more wisely - and so I am going to do more volunteer work this year. I really want to encourage you guys to stay tuned because I have a lot of exciting things in the works and trust me: You wont want to be left out!
