Hi, I’m Annette Smith. And this is Savoring Home, a lifestyle blog about home, family, and faith. Here is where I share my love of home – the people and the place.
My mission is to help you love YOUR home and the everyday life you’re called to live. To that end, I’ve created a growing catalog of articles, tools, and resources just for you.
So have a look around. Stay awhile and get to know me better. And may you find fresh inspiration for loving your home.
My Blog
Savoring Home is a lifestyle blog about home, family, and faith. While my posts definitely have YOU in mind, they also reflect what I love most:
- Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior
- Mitchell Smith, my awesome husband
- our sweet and cozy Florida home
Our current home is a little stucco cottage in Grand Island, Florida – a lake community northwest of Orlando. Before we built our house, we lived in a city apartment. City life had its perks, but we SO enjoy small town living.
My Story
Since you’re reading this page, you may wonder “Who IS Annette Smith?” Well … I’m a Christian, a wife, a homemaker, and a writer. In that order. Every day, I learn more about God – and more about savoring home.
Before I started this blogging journey, I was a preschool teacher, a librarian, and a foster home developer. But not all at once! I spent most of my life in the library world.
I was a homebody when I met Mitch, but he had itchy feet. And after we married, I adopted his gypsy lifestyle. We moved eight times in nine years!
Life is such an adventure. And it’s one reason I love blogging. I can take my virtual desk anywhere the wind blows and the Lord leads.
My Family
Mitch and I have been married for almost twelve years. Although we have different interests, we share a heart for God and a willingness to serve where Him. We also share the same life verse: Proverbs 3:5-6.
Old movies, Christian music, Asian buffets … these are a few of our favorite things.
We adore our furry felines. They are more than pets, they’re family. And we’re always thrilled when our adult son, Wesley, comes for a visit.
My Writing
While I consider myself a full-time homemaker, I also work from home – as a freelance writer, a lifestyle blogger, and a social media evaluator.
Some of my work involves ghostwriting and search engine optimization (SEO). My by-lined articles appear on Footprints of Fayette and HubPages.
I started Savoring Home in 2013, and much of my work involves building this blog. I also work part-time for Appen, a global language and technology company.
