Well, I have decided to start a blog. I love talking so seems pretty fitting. My grandmother used to watch me sleep and would say my mouth always started running before my eyes even opened.
I've decided to call the blog -- The Mitchell Homestead -- I like the sound of homestead as it portrays to me going back to the basics in our home, also I dream of a nice bit of land and a cozy home one day, where we can have lots more animals and room to roam!
Our last name of Mitchell seemed very fitting. First of all it's our name. Second it means, " Gift from God" (which my family is to me)  or also " Who is like God"  (which we need to strive to be). 
So in a sense I want this blog to represent a Homestead that while striving to be like Him is a Gift from God to others .
There will be many things touched on in this blog. As many of you know our journey right now is leading us through cancer. I want to share that journey. But first and foremost I want the blog focus to be on family. So I'll try to keep the balance. I also want to throw out challenges to others to try in their family and be an encouragement. 
Love you all,
