New blog name

I originally started this blog to keep a record of my new hobby of baking bread from freshly ground wheat. And although I am still doing that, I have found a recipe I like and have not found the time to experiment with much else lately.

And so this blog has evolved into more of a journal of our family life. When one of the photos I entered into a photo contest at 5minutesformom.com became a finalist I decided to let friends and family know about my little blog. Of course we still didn't have nearly enough votes to win, but the point is that now practically everyone who knows me knows about this blog. The focus of the blog has shifted from our "preps" plans to posting pictures and stories of the kids. More importantly, it has also become the place for my bible study notes, I pray that there are those that read this that will learn about the Word of God through my learning.

I also made a decision to stop sending friends and family emails with pictures and instead send them here. Nobody really knows what "purplepreps" is all about but many have heard me use the term Our Blessed Chaos to describe our life. I thought it was a more appropriate blog site name and matches the heading title I have had for a while anyways!

I hope you enjoy this little slice of our lives and will come back often to see what we are up to.
