Hopping Around To Say “Hello”

Hello Blog Hop ‘10 friends. Thank you so much for stopping by.

VERY nice to meet you.

My name is Mel and I blog here at Simply Mel. I’ve been blogging for about five years but have only seriously been blogging for two.

Yours truly  with our two girls.

If you click around you’ll see I’m a stay at home mom to two gorgeous ( if I do say so myself) little girls. In about eight months or so I’ll be a mom to three! We’re adding another little one to our family in March of next year.

This is my almost- five- year- old, Katelyn.

And this is my almost- three- year- old, Madelyn.

And our bun in the oven is Sweetie. No pictures of him/ her yet!

We couldn’t be more excited! I miscarried three months ago after trying to conceive for two years. Then the Lord blessed us again with another pregnancy.  If you look under my categories you’ll see several ones about “TTC” and “Miscarriage”. It’s a subject close to my heart and I’ve written a lot about it. I try to be as open and honest as possible about my struggles here on my blog. I sometimes even throw in a little TMI!  I must admit that now that I’ve miscarried once, the possibility that it could happen again is constantly on my mind. I pray for peace and protection of this little life every day.

I’m married to a fabulous, very tall (6′7), hard working and loving man. We are both Christians and want to serve and glorify God in all that we do.

This is my hubby, Mike.

I’m a Missionary/ Third Culture Kid that’s suddenly found herself {sorta} grown up, married and a mom! I’m a Southerner at heart who somehow ended up living in New England and marrying a wicked “smaht” Yankee boy. (Not to be confused with a Yankees fan. Ahem. )

I’m quite horizontally challenged (which makes it all the more hysterical that I married such a tall man), love coffee,my family, being a stay at home mom, Glee, singing, a good thriller novel, cooking, girly things and watching movies. (To name a few!)

I blog about my family, my faith,  struggles, life lessons and the humor that God throws in our life almost daily.

Thank you for stopping by! Please feel free to click around and leave me a comment or ask any questions you feel like. You can also go to my sidebar and follow me on Twitter or check me out on Facebook.

    Hi! I'm visiting from the blog hop today. We had a miscarriage between our two boys (now 12 & 10 years old) and our daughter (now 3 years old). While it's not something I've written about it's interesting how the boys will still talk about it once in a while, just out of the blue. I love that it's not a secret and that our “Peanut” will always be a part of our family.

    I hope you'll visit us too at http://jencrutchfield.blogspot.com

    I'm so sorry about your miscarriage! I've had 2. I understand your pain. But I'm so excited about your new pregnancy – and your little girls are adorable! What country did you grow up in? And why is it that short girls always marry tall guys! ;)

    Thanks for stopping by! I definitely think those little, unborn lives need to be celebrated. God cares for them as much as we do, if not more! I'll definitely stop by your blog if I haven't. I'm a little slow on replying right now.
