About

Using the scripture Philippians 4:8, the Mission of DailyDwelling is to DWELL on what is TRUE, HONORABLE, RIGHT, PURE, LOVELY, OF GOOD REPUTE, EXCELLENT, AND WORTHY OF PRAISE as I honestly and consistently share my life experiences as a Child of God, Wife of an Army Chaplain, and Homeschooling Stay at Home Mother of Three.

I’m Monica, a homeschooling mom of three precious preschoolers who keep me on my toes at all times. I have been married to my husband, Keith, for eight years. Keith is a Chaplain in the Army and we are currently in the process of moving back to the United States from Germany.

My greatest joys in life are in serving God through being a wife to my husband as he lives out God’s calling on his life and being mom to our three children.

I began blogging to keep in touch with family and friends while living a long distance away and most importantly with my husband during his deployment. But blogging has become so much more than that. It is a community that I am so thankful for.

Along with blogging, I enjoy cooking, reading, crafting, photography and digital scrapbooking. I share a bit of all of those things here at DailyDwelling.

Keep reading to get to know the rest of my beautiful family….

Keith is currently serving with the 40th Engineer Battalion. He writes a personal blog about his life as an Army Chaplain on ChaplainAndrews.com. Keith is also an avid comic book reader. His favorites includes Superman, Batman, and DareDevil….basically, anything by D.C. Comics. He blogs about his comic book hobby at Comic Book Day.

EA and MC are our four year old twin girls. They were born premature at 30 weeks, but you’d never know that now. They have so much fun playing together and have a wonderful bond as twin sisters. But they have completely different personalities.

EA loves to play with her babies and read books. She has such a nurturing and mothering spirit. In fact, she’s often more patient and understanding with her little brother than I am. I can’t wait to see how this personality trait develops as she gets older. She takes life a bit seriously. And can be quite strong willed. But at the same time, she is the social butterfly. She thrives in a group setting and loves having lots of friends to care for and play with.

MC is more creative and scientific. She is a thinker. She can be entertained for long lengths of time with art supplies. She is a funny and quirky little girl. She is more introverted in a crowd, but is such a clown and has an incredibly vibrant personality that really comes out when you get to know her. She is a more naturally compliant child. But definitely also has strong opinions.

Will is the baby of our little family….at least for now. He was born eight weeks before we moved to Germany from the States. This contributed to lots of fussiness as a baby. He is such an active little boy. He is quite strong willed himself, but at the same time has the sweetest nature. Right now he is absolutely terrified of furry animals, especially dogs, and toys that are a little too life like. He loves to play with blocks and cars. And he has a slight complex…he thinks he is just as old as and can do just as much as his four year old sisters. He doesn’t have too much trouble keeping up with them, though.

So, welcome to my little home on the blogosphere! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Oh, and I would love to know that you were here….just leave a little note below!
