Sometimes, I wonder if I talk about too much on this blog. I have poetry and art and submission and marriage and literature and photography and family stuff and mental health posts. You could definitely say I don't narrow in on a niche! But my life, like everyone else's, is complex and real. As a … Continue reading Blogging Without a Niche

The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
Being a traditional wife, or trad wife, can be open a world of creative opportunity. My number one goal is to be a good wife and a good mother, but I also have a creative calling. I'm a poet who dabbles in nonfiction, short horror, and short science fiction. However, though literature was my mind's … Continue reading The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
Dream
I woke up at 3 am with a headache and nausea. After drinking a lot and taking headache medicine I was able to get back to sleep. Then I woke up half an hour early from a dream. In the dream, I used tubes of watercolor on tissue paper to make something layered and beautiful. … Continue reading Dream

Here is some tulle currently bunched up in my upstairs studio. I think it looks … Continue reading Daily Beauty

I am going from class to class, finding the required reading, and adding it to my Amazon. So much fascinating material on the intersection of Christianity and creativity! Reading these books … Continue reading Seminary Reading
Photos
I took these photos the other day. This is my world. I am not happy today. It's a hard day. I have the shower curtain in the washing machine. I made lunch but got too depressed to finish it, which is probably good. I have a bunch of housework I need to do, and very … Continue reading Photos
