- Hi y’all! Welcome to my blog! It is so wonderful to have you here. I have been looking forward to starting this blog for quite a while and here we are! Officially up and running! I am excited to share this page as a place to introduce myself to you and let you know more about me.
- Why did you choose your blog name?
- I chose The Blessed Homemaker because I am a homemaker. I love every second of it, being a wife and a mama brings me so much joy. Some people may think that being a work from home mom, raising babies, keeping the house running, and preparing meals for the family might “date” women. I disagree. I think that doing those things is exactly what we are made to do. As married women, the Bible says we are to “be fruitful and multiply” and women are also to “be busy building up their home” and if that’s not enough… Well, I will have plenty of blog posts surrounding the subject.
- One of the main reasons I went with “Blessed” for the first part of this blog’s name is because of the verses in Proverbs 31, which you can find referenced over on my Home Page.
- Keeping up with a 23 month old and a 7 month old can be exhausting day to day, that’s for sure. Now I’ll admit, I am not perfect! Far from it! However, I do like to think that I have learned from the mistakes I’ve made over the years and maybe I can help someone out there not make similar mistakes.
- Update– January 2021. My son is 2 years old and my daughter is 10 months old. I am currently about 12 weeks pregnant with TWINS!
- How long have you been a writer/blogger?
- Short answer- Forever.
- Long Answer – I’ve been an official blogger on and off for 3-4 years. But I have loved writing and always did fairly well in school. English, Creative Writing, and History classes have been my strongest subjects since I was a child. I wrote my first short story for fun when I was around 14 years old over the course of summer just before starting high school. I have attempted several stories/novels since, but have had none published as I usually get frustrated with my own thoughts and want to switch stories around chapter 7-10.
- Do you have any children?
- Yes – 2. One 23 month old boy and one 7 month old girl. They are the most precious little ones ever. (I may be biased)

- What is your favorite childhood memory?
- Traveling and family cookouts for sure. I remember so many vacations my mom and dad took me and my sister on. They were always a blast. I do remember one specific trip where we went up to the mountains and stayed at The Pisgah Inn in North Carolina, right off of the parkway. This is an area we visited often and I absolutely LOVE it there.
- I remember this specific time a little more vividly because my grandpa, grandma, and aunt joined us for the trip.
- I remember seeing my “Pop” rocking in the chairs, standing and looking out at the mountains, and just him being there. It’s hard, since he passed, but I remember that trip and will always cherish the memories I’ve been fortunate enough to make. Both with my Pop and with the rest of my family as I grew up. I do not take my childhood for granted, I know so many people out there don’t get those kinds of experiences with their families. I only hope that I can provide just as many fun, entertaining and learning experiences for my babies.
- Do you have a favorite ice cream flavor?
- Yes – Chocolate followed closely by Vanilla. My current favorite (indulgent) mash up is Haagen-Daz cookies and cream! And I always love a GOOD mint chocolate chip! (green ice cream with chocolate chips please!)
- Interesting tid bit – Up until I was somewhere around 6/7 years old, I thought the only ice-cream flavors were chocolate and vanilla! I did know about orange sherbet as my grandpa and grandma on my mom’s side had it often, but I guess I just never noticed the rest, I certainly wasn’t offered any others!
- What is your favorite food?
- Authentic Mexican food (Mi desayuno favorito es huevos con frjoles y queso) followed closely by Southern Soul food like grits, fried chicken, and of course scrumptious fluffy biscuits! I LOVE the YouTube channel View On The Road. If I want some home cooked Mexican food ideas, I always turn to Steph. I also really love watching the Pioneer Woman and Paula Deen for some southern cooking inspo! Recently, my favorite go to recipes come out of Joanna Gaines’s books, Magnolia Table. There are some yummy recipes in there!
- How old are you?
- I will be 30 years old in Feb 2021. It’s coming up so fast!
- Welp, that’s a little bit about the person behind the computer here in this little corner of the internet. If there’s anything else you would like to know, please don’t hesitate to ask!
- Again, it is great to have you here. I hope you will grab a glass of cold sweet tea (or hot tea if that’s your jam) and browse the pages for a bit.
- Lots of Love,
- Victoria
