We’re the Mercers! I’m Becky. Right now my identity is pretty much wrapped up in motherhood and kitchen floor crumbs, but I do have some other facets to my life as well.

I’m a Christian
Mom and Dad laid the foundation when I was a kid, then I made a renewed commitment to Jesus as a Junior in highschool through Young Life. As I plan my course in life, I rejoice that the Lord determines my steps (Proverbs 16:9).

I Homeschool
We have been homeschooling for four years now. We currently use an eclectic/textbook approach and we’re loving it. Darling Son is in fourth grade, and Dear Daughter is in second grade.

I Scrapbook
While I have not been as consistent with my scrapping as I used to, I do love scrapbooking and have seven big, oversized binders full of memories to show for it. I’ve also been honored to be published in Creating Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks, Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends, and Paperkuts magazines.

I Love Web Design
I learned HTML back in 1997 and I’ve always enjoyed coding from scratch. I used to design sites with table-laden code, but now I’m converted to CSS and standard compliant design. Once I discovered WordPress for my blogging, I was hooked. Stock photos you see here and there on this site are from The Stock Xchng.

Our Family
I have two darling kiddos, a daughter born in 2003 and a son born in 2001. I’ve been married to my supportive, loving husband for 15 years. We had a fish named Trixie, but she swam on to greater waters. Not long after, we welcomed Ricky the Cricket. He was not long for this world, either. We do hope to get a REAL pet someday.
