WELCOME!!!

Hello! and WELCOME to the start of my new blog!! I used to blog over on myspace (yes....insert giggles here..) but for various reasons I decided to move on over to someplace better!!! I'm a stay at home Mom to four beautiful children and a Help Meet to my wonderful husband of fourteen years! I chose my pen name, Moxie, for various reasons.... but mainly because being a one income family in this day takes some moxie!!! Heck...just staying alive and sane in this world takes a bit of moxie, doesn't it?!?

The name Nanna Manna...well first off it sounds nice....it rhymes and is cute! Second it reminds me of the depression era and my Grannies and the wealth of wonderful information that generation has to offer...both my Grans lived through some hard times (sadly none are with me now) Experience is the best teacher and people who have lived through hard times know how to make it through! So NOT that I'm a nanna yet....but it just seemed to fit the overall theme of the things I prefer to blog about......thrift, old time ways , recipes, mom stuff and God- all that sounds like Nanna Manna to me!

Now, the world would LOVE nothing better than to shove me right out the door, slap my kiddles into daycare to become another "drone worker mom" .....but my Lord and Savior has another better plan for me! He wants me AT HOME to raise up those BLESSINGS that He gave me in the way that they should go!!! He gave me my beautiful children and I know He will provide for them as I pursue His godly model for family. I AM a realist and DO understand that sometimes a woman has to work outside the home....BUT if you are working just to have a brand new car and all the latest upgrades, then I think a serious heart check is in order. I have a HUGE heart for Mom's at home and women whom wish to pursue the Godly model for homemaking...that being a Help Meet and a Keeper at Home!! I love to blog about thrifty... frugal...fun things...recipes....Mom stuff...old time wisdom...home management and of course whatever the Lord puts on my heart to put out there!! I don't blog daily.....I LOVE the blogging without obligation tab I've seen around so I've included it here.... I have no clue how to do much with this here bloggy thingy just yet!!!! So PLEASE look past my blog blunders when you see them!! I'll get the hang of it all eventually!!! Nite Nite!!! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!!!
