A*Very New Name

I have been blogging now for almost six years. When I first became a blogger, I did not know that I could pick my own name on Blogger for the blog spot. I just let the Blogger site pick a name for me and they selected averytnfamily.blogspot.com. When I first set up a blog, I chose to call it "The Avery House" as it was mostly about our family and our everyday happenings.

 I still chronicle our family life here, but I also use my blog as an online journal of my own thoughts and ponderings. This past summer in marking the 5 year anniversary of my blog, I chose to change the name of our blog to "A*Very Cottage Home" playing off of our own name Avery and wanting to be more focused on cottage style living.

 I soon realized, however, that my blog posts are not truly geared to cottage living only and actually take on a more holistic or 'lifestyle" approach focusing on every day living and seeing life and the daily living of life as sacred.

  In beginning a new year, I have decided to once again rename the blog to fit the way in which we live and view life around our home. So welcome to "A*very Blessed Home: finding the sacred in day to day living." As always, it is my hope that who ever visits my blog that he or she will find it a warm and inviting place to come to,  and that my blog offers encouragement and food for thought about everyday living.
