What's in a Name?

When I decided to create a blog, I was faced with a dilemma - what to name it.  This may sound silly, but when you're giving a title to the Chronicles of your Life, you want it to be something good.  Something unique.  Something that describes your life as closely as possible without being a paragraph long.

So, naming my blog has made me do some serious soul-searching.  What describes me?  I'm Catholic, a wife, a new mother, and my husband and I are expecting our second child in November on our second anniversary.  Should I title my blog "Baby Machine?"  "Laundry Lady?"  "Dairy Queen?"  That's what I feel like sometimes when my baby girl wants to breastfeed all day long, lol.


No, my life is much more than that.  I consider myself to be an intelligent young woman, called by God to the dignified and rewarding vocation of serving my family by being a full-time wife and mother.  I love, honor, and obey my husband.  I grow and nurture our little ones.  When my children are old enough, I plan to homeschool them and teach them about God and our Catholic faith.  And (when I have time) I cook, clean, do laundry, and take care of our household.  I have devoted myself to the domestic sphere.  So, therefore, I have titled my blog "My Life as a Domestic Diva."  I think it's a good title.  Indicative of not only my vocation, but my vivacious personality.  ;o)

And so begins my story - the joys, struggles, adventures, and every-day moments of my life as a Catholic, happily married stay-at-home mom.
