  4. First of all, you know I really LOVE your blog! ;) Um, do I really have to pick one book! I could seriously use the first book...that two year old of mine is presenting me with a new challenge everyday! But I would seriously love the kids Bible or the cookbook! Any of them would make me very happy!

    Happy 100 post!!!

    p.s. you are such a better blogger than me.

  6. p.s.s. In the future I would love to hear more of your wisdom about marriage and your relationship with Mr. Steady. Not the juicy details or anything *wink* but some of what you guys do to continue to grow in your marriage. You talk a lot about being a mom (which you are are a great one) but I know you are also a great wife!

  7. Kelly! hi from the middle east.
    I got on here last week when you posted a link from facebook and it was fun to see your growing fam. we will be adding a family member in march! so I guess the 1st book would be applicable to us.

  9. Kelly,

    I hope you already know that I love your blog. After your post on Creative Family Times, I went and ordered it as well as Don't Make me Count to Three. So, I would really like the Children's Bible.

    You have been an incredible encouragement. Hugs to you... Julie

  10. Hmmm..... Since I don't count to three, I bet I would love any of the other ones!!! My crockpot and I become best friends beginning this time of year. Though I must say...my VitaMix may take that spot over! :)

  11. Yay Kel! Congrats on your 100th post!

    I would love to read Bittersweet. I have heard from a few folks that it is a good read!

    Hope you and the cute fam are doing well. I loved the rain boots photo!

  13. As for ideas....I love when you write about cooking/baking. Maybe you could share more of your green granola ways for cleaning/living.

  14. Kelly, I love your blog. It is a fun way to keep up with you guys. You are an encouragement, especially with your honesty about how hard parenting is, yet how blessed we are to be mothers of our children and we should soak in every minute of it!

    Book???-probably count to three ( I am always doing it and everytime I do it I sound like my mother !) or Jesus stories.

    God Bless!- Gina

  15. Kelly- you are a beautiful example of a wife and a mommy!!
    Love your blog! Gini

  16. Way to go Kel!! I have so enjoyed following your blog! I have gained many helpful tips and insights. Examples: Parenting books, I ordered the Parenting with Scripture and Joe and I both LOVE it. The meatoloaf recipe...big hit! And so many encouraging posts as a mom that have helped me to keep perspective-Delight in your Children as one example. What can I say, I love it all! I admire how intentional you are in your parenting and role as a mother.

    I would vote for the book, Don't Make Me Count to Three...and you know why, haha!!! Love doing life with you as moms

  17. Kel- I'm so proud of you and your 100 posts! I know how much blogging has meant to you and I want you to know you're such an encouragement! You always have great ideas and you are a great example of doing Godly parenting. Anyway, the book I'd want would be the Crockpot one since I already have the Don't make me Count to Three (great book!), and I have about 10 kid Bibles. Anyway, love ya!!

  18. Even though I never comment (and I think I'm doing this right), I am a faithful follower of your blog!!! I always read it to keep us with the fam in CA and I love your honesty, Kelly. You are an encouragement to us all. Well, now, I would love the crockpot book, I think you could've guessed that. You can see what a popular topic that is and I think I should get extra credit for this idea!

  24. I would totally want the Jesus Storybook Bible - it's currently on my Amazon Wish List and I know baby Erickson (and mommy) would really like it.
