Curiosity Survey :)
Would you do me a favor?
Out of curiosity, if you've been reading my blog and haven't commented, would you be so kind as to comment and tell me who you are, a basic idea of where you are from (if you want to disclose that!), and what types of posts are your favorite and which ones you dislike (not that I'll stop posting about what you dislike, but I just thought it would be interesting to know!)? If you'd rather not post this publicly, you can drop me an e-mail.
Of course, no one has to do this, but there have been so many visits to my blog recently and I was just wondering what the basic demographics of the readership was.
Thanks so much!

I wrote you from your main website. I linked (I think) from my new site to add in your merchant maiden book (We loved it!)momomany.lifewithchrist.org and hope to get to know you more. Love the site and have been wanting to do the same, for now I've used a template and am in the process of learning computer tech. stuff so I blog and add to it each day. I need to learn how to do my own. From NY looking to move westward soon.
I am a married, Christian homemaker and Mom to one lovely daughter (age 12). I read a phenomenal amount of stuff, and have recently added your blog to my list of favorites. I like all of the posts, even the 'tough' ones (iron sharpens iron, right?). I live in Florida (hurricane country!). I have a wonderful, super-patient hubby who pretends not to see my many faults. I love God and want to be closer and closer to Him every day.
Oops...I forgot to add that we also homeschool our daughter (just finished our 3rd year). I am the 'Florida' Mom in the above comment.
I've commented- so you know I'm here. :D Seems to be about the only way to keep up with you these days. :)
I like all of your posts, but especially the ones about what you're thinking about/different thoughts on subjects. :)
I am a 25 year old wife to my dh of almost 4 years and mother to two special girls, Ariana 2 and Lillian 1. I live in the mid-west in Indiana. I struggle with lonliness and lack of likemindedness. I enjoy reading your blog because you are a young mother like myself and many times seem like you are learning many of the same things I am learning and it's nice to read of someone else learning and growing in God's grace. I enjoy all the topics you cover and enjoy reading and hearing about your journey heavenward.
I am a "maiden-in-waiting", oldest of 7 children. I came across your website through a link from the Being Virtuous Women site. I am hoping to order your Merchant Maidens book soon! I love all the posts! P.S. My name is Kathryn Elizabeth, so I share a special "kinship" with your daughter :-)
Hi, I'm Rachel. I've posted comments under that name a few times on here. I live in Australia with my DH and I'm the one who bought those books from you including Debi Pearl's book from you. (Which arrived in 7 days btw!)
Anyway, I'm the oldest of 7 children. Was homeschooled from grade 8 onwards, met my homeschooled husband that year and we becamse good friends. We moved here to Sydney when DH got a job here. I remember be intrigued by your posts and the fact that you were another married woman on YWAIC and kinda just lurked around a bit on your Covenant Wedding Source site. The kind of posts I like from you tend to be all of them!! :) I find your thoughts and comments on life and family etc thought provoking etc.
Anyway, hope that answers a few questions.
My name is Ruth Parkinson and i am 22, living in England. I am single. I can accross your blog on your website. I ordered your book about finding contement in singleness. I love your thoughts and daily life blogs. Keep it up.
Hi,
I'm Rebecca and I read your blog everyday but don't get much time to comment. I'm married, 29, and the mother of two. I enjoy all of your posts.
BTW, is that RSS feed new? I just noticed it this morning and have now added your blog to my newsreader. Thanks for adding the feed.
Hi,
My name is Sarah, I am 23 and single. I live at home (in Nebraska) where I enjoy using the gifts God has given me to serve my family and those around me. I have enjoyed reading the articles that you have written in the past for LAF and found your web-site and then blog from there.
My name is Jessica and I'm 23. I'm not Christian, but was raised Catholic. I just like reading about people with different beliefs and lifestyles and yours is one of them. Although I enjoy cooking, gardening, etc. I also work on and race cars, ride motorcycles, and am a busy activist for causes I support. I live with my fiance and two cats.
I hold a Bachelor of fine Arts in Graphic Design and am currently pursuing my masters. Inevitably I would like to teach within the University sector, obtain my PhD and raise a child or two:)
Happy to meet you all and keep up the blogging
Hi! I'm similar to Jessica, who posted above. I was raised Lutheran, but currently do not belong to a church. I am fascinated with your posts and the life they reveal; I don't know any Christians like you, so I read to educate myself.
I didn't comment before because I was worried if you knew non-Christians were reading, you'd block us, and I really hope you don't-- your posts give me much to think about (obviously regarding faith, but also about marriage and being a good wife).
I work in public relations here in WI, I'm engaged and live with my fiance, and I have two cats.

Crystal,
I am a huge fan of your site. I visit every day. I am a Christian homemaker and SAHM who is married to an US Active Duty Army soldier.
I'm Kira, 28, "boyfriended with intent to marry", and found your website through LAF a long time ago- I've been reading your blogs since they first came up, & have read some of your books recently- a friend of mine ordered them. I like all of your articles, especially the ones about home organization & scheduling, working from home & homeschooling :)
We here at Mountain Musings read your blog and enjoy all the posts. Mom Deb and daughters Hannah (21) and Sarah (18).
I am a 23yr old married mother of two(under 2)with one on the way.We live in the very green,but very rainy Pacific North West.My husband and I moved here shortly after we were married.
Because of the lack of fellowship I come here to be encouraged.I think you have been married as long as i have so its neat and sharpening to see someone else going through the same things.
It looks like I am, so far, the only guy who admits to reading your site. I enjoy this and your other blog, and I hope that Jesse will get busy doing some writing on "Confronting the Culture" now that he is on break from law school. Thank you for the link to my blog on your page, by the way.
Sincerely,
CS
I have very much enjoyed reading your blog! I am 15 and live in KS. It is uplifting to read, as you comunicate God's Truth across a needy land. I enjoy your ideas on furthering homemaking and organizational skills. I read through your books and am very blessed by them. May you continue writing for God's Glory!
I just found your blog through the LAF message board - I'm a little slow sometimes. :) My name is Ruthie, & I am an almost 41 year old stay at home mother of one daughter. I have been married for 18 short years and live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Thus far, I have enjoyed all of your posts. I enjoy reading about people's thoughts and their day to day lives.
Blessings,
Ruthie
You know me from church... :)
I'm a single Christian daughter living at home and learning (slowly) how to glorify God in everything I do.
I enjoy reading anything you post, but especially your comments on books.
I read it when I get the chance to. I enjoy it very much and love all that you post. Especially on things like current issues, government type issues, education etc... and how you are raising Kathrynne.
oh, by the way I am 19 and have a twin sister who reads too.
Hi, I'm Tammy :) You know me... I hope! :)
Good idea, Crystal!
I am Meredith, just-turned-30 mom of a 3-year-old boy. I'm a full-time homemaker and bargain hunter, and my family remodels houses for extra income. Still, I'd like to start a small business from home that will give us both tax benefits and a little extra income. I enjoy your entrepreneural spirit and am looking forward to reading your e-book about homegrown businesses.
Crystal... I've known you for a LONG time (since the first issue of "Polished Cornerstones"!) but we haven't had much personal contact for a while. I just recently rediscovered your blog and have very much enjoyed reading it. I like the way you address topics with passion and gentleness when most of us would tend to shy around them. :-)
I'm 22, the oldest child of 13 children all at home. I've been raised by two Godly parents and I love living at home, though I look forward to the day, God willing, when I can hold that role myself. I was homeschooled all the way through; I currently am working 65 hours a week between my two jobs. I work two days a week as a photographer at an 1800's theme park, and the rest of the time I work as assistant manager/baker/cook/waitress at our family's home business, a Diner and Bakery. My life is very full and God is very sustaining! My love for Him grows with every day, every month, every year of my walk with Him. May it grow sweeter until I meet Him face to face and spend all eternity with Him!
Hello! I'm Keer. I've been married for 11 years and have 5 children 8 and under. We live in eastern Washington State.
Hi Crystal, I just recently started reading your blog. I really enjoy it, and it is so helpful to me. Keep up the good work! In fact, your blog inspired me to start one of my own, here.
My name is Melissa. I am 21 years old, and I was married in January of this year. Here's Our Love Story. My husband, Tim, and I live in Portland, OR. Right now, I am working full-time outside the home as a nanny for two little girls, and Tim works from home as a computer and audio consultant. We love children, and we hope to start a family within the next couple of years.
Hi Crystal,
I enjoy stopping by your blog each day to see what is happening in your life! You post so often it makes it alot of fun to read!
My sister Morgan is a friend of your sister Gretchen...I was always asking about you...so she told me how to find your blog! (I think you and I are part of the same "HopeChest" and "King's Daughter" generation!)
I'm a born again Christian ... I'm 24 ... and for 2 years now I've been married to the man of my dreams!!
God bless!
I'm 24, married for 2 years to my protector, provider, and best friend, mama to two boys (ages 14 months and 36 weeks in utero). I love your blog, Crystal, mostly because I identify so much with your perspective and because we are a military family stationed in Germany, so likeminded encouragement is very hard to come by. Its encouraging to see other young couples who are finally resisting the lies of mainstream culture and reembracing the ancient truths of biblical roles and the blessing of children maintained consistently by the church until the 20th century. We often feel like the "weirdos" even among many Christians. Being advocates of biblical courtship and betrothal, it has honestly gone through my head to connect with your family at some point in the future....since we know Kathrynne will have been raised to be a godly woman....but I suppose that is jumping ahead of the game a little :)
Blessings always,
Alyssa
