I’m beyond excited to show off to y’all a little of the new design here at day2dayjoys.com (that will be happening soon!) . It’s been long time coming but nevertheless, it’s in the works and I couldn’t be more happy!
Although I’m “relaunching” this blog with a new design and a few things will change, this is a little place in the blog-o-sphere that still remains the same. A place where mothers and women can connect, can talk about their experiences, their hurts, their joys, and still focus on faith, family and health.
If you’ve been a reader here for long, you’ll know that my tagline has been “Finding Joy in it All” taken from the verse in James 1:2. No matter what you are going through (even if it’s hard or unimaginable) I want to encourage you that it’s part of your story, the story that the Lord is writing through you. And sometimes it is hard finding the joy in it all but my prayer is that I and you dear friend, can find a glimpse of joy in the valleys and on mountain tops.
While that verse’s theme will be carried on, I have come up with a broader tagline that will encompass this blog’s tune more eloquently. You probably noticed it up at the top of this post.
My hope, along with all of the (new) writers is that what we write in this little space will encourage you and will help you to be a better homemaker, mom, wife or mother in the making and woman, joyfully. Be on the look out for an introduction to the new writers but for now I’d like you to meet these lovely ladies if you haven’t “met” them yet:
Jenn from The Purposeful Mom– veteran writer here
Kelly from Eyes on the Source
Kristen from Smithspirations
Jenn D from A Simple Haven
Liz from Now Let Me Rejoice
Kim from Simple Natural Health
Nell from Whole Parenting Family
Jenny from It Is Well
My dear friend Mindy of Simply Designs and Creating Naturally did a fabulous job putting up with my endless requests, all my questions (although you might think I know how to handle “techy” stuff, I do not!) and hunt for the best color combinations. Turquoise & peach have always been a couple of my favorite colors. (My bridesmaids wore coral, don’t know if they thought that was a disaster but I loved it)
Well.. now that all that’s over with, the FUN part!

Awesome giveaway! I would get some Exploring Creations text books!! Thanks! 😀
I would have to get more book for my son to read. He is a voracious reader!
Rachel, I am so thankful to find your blog! Your theme of finding joy in it all hit home with my heart. We have been making big decisions about bringing home our second child to homeschool with our first child. The process has been difficult for the kids and as a mom, difficult on me. Our children will be 8th and 12th grade this coming school year and I am a bit intimidated. I know the Lord has great plans for us and He will lead us. Can”t wait to see your new blog…I signed up for email delivery! 🙂
Great job on the website! I’ve been eyeing a new ice cream maker on Amazon…along with a zillion other things! Thank you!
Thank you!!
I would use the gift card for school supplies! yippee! 🙂
We are new to homeschooling and would love to be able to buy more books and other things for our new classroom
Wow! It looks awesome, so glad I can see it now. I love the colors too.
Oh, Giftcard – I’d use it towards getting new pots and pans. Been looking at stainless steel 🙂
Most likely I would buy some books. I always have more books than money and save the ones I want in my wish list:)
Love the re-design…what a great job! Amazon and homeschool books go hand in hand…that gift card would sure come in handy! Thanks for a great contest!

I would use the money for a night out with my husband. 🙂
I want to buy a canning set because I want to try canning.
Thank you for doing this giveaway! I would use the gift card for something for our new home. Being first time home owners there are so many things we could use. Maybe some kitchen canisters for one, as I don’t have anything to put the flour, sugar, etc. in yet.
I would probably use it for homeschool supplies

Homeschool curriculum or nursing bras 😉
Awesome! I have been looking at buying a Kindle Fire for our homeschooling, but haven’t been able to fit it in our budget, this would be such a blessing for us 🙂 Thank you for a great giveaway!
I am a new reader, but love this blog and am love the focus you put on finding joy! I have a 2 year old with a rare genetic disorder and 26 weeks pregnant. Finding joy has been the most difficult thing to do during the day! Looking forward to connecting with other Christ following moms! Anyways, we just moved to a house with a yard and I am looking forward to starting an herb garden, so I would probably use the certificate for seeds and for essential oils right now. I also need a natural sun blocker for the little ones. Thanks for being so generous!!
We don’t have a lot of stores close by, so I buy a lot from Amazon. It’s hard to say but probably vitamins or maybe some classical music downloads 🙂
I would use the gift card towards our gluten free bread and baking mix we buy for
Amazon or towards school books for the upcoming school year. Thank you for the opportunity!
I’m saving for a Kindle Fire!
