Caitlin, age two, is in my front yard surrounding Agatha. Agatha is a beautiful ornamental grass in front of my pink beach house that the lawn crew put there to make my yard lovely. Caitlin, for her part, isn't a bad girl. Not to me, but she is misunderstood. Caitin is a weed. As a … Continue reading Why Should She Die for Not Being Popular?

Big Cleaning Day
Although I was still sick, I was doing a little better, and I cleaned the house like crazy. Dusting, laundry, organizing, dishes, picking up, cleaning bathrooms etc. Disinfecting things felt good. I want to chase the sick out of the house. I got 150 zink photo paper stickers recently, and I have been printing my … Continue reading Big Cleaning Day
Stepping Back From the News
I hate stress and love the soft life. Current events stress me out badly because I can see so much wrong being done, and I can't fix it. What will be will be. I can't control the world. I will vote and make a difference where I can, but losing sleep over it just leaves … Continue reading Stepping Back From the News
Sick Today
Our whole family is sick. My daughter is sick. I'm sick. My husband(who is away on an important work trip) is sick. My father in law is kindly here helping out. Sometimes it hurts when I breathe. My head is clogged. I want to write about cleaning and productivity today, but honestly, I'm in bed. … Continue reading Sick Today
Creativity, Love
I feel so free when I collage, so very me when I write poems. My job is to be a homemaker, and I truly love that. But I have a deep passion for poetry and art. I'm so grateful that being at home gives me time to be creative. Bored is a word I don't … Continue reading Creativity, Love
Embracing Motherhood
Motherhood gets a bad rap in the media, and that's largely because of the way that some mothers talk about it. Before I had my daughter, the picture I had of motherhood was grim. I was told becoming a mother would strip me of my identity. I was told I would never again have time … Continue reading Embracing Motherhood
Trying to Get on My Feet
I spent too much time laying down this morning. Mentally I am not great. But I have since gotten back up. I've been cleaning baseboards. To do it, I've been using my orange duster. Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet
New Post Coming Soon
I want to start blogging more frequently, but this past weekend I did not feel well, and my inlaws were visiting. Today I am still not feeling well. I may not feel better for a while. So I just wanted to say hello. I will write more on Tuesday or Wednesday, but today I feel … Continue reading New Post Coming Soon
My Planner!
I am back to using a planner again. I'm using one that was custom designed for me several years ago by an Etsy shop owner who has since closed. It isn't completely perfect for me now. Because I could use more space in the homeschooling columns for next year, and I want the cleaning section … Continue reading My Planner!
Radical, Sweet Softness
I have decided to embrace a radical softness. I want to be serene, gentle, and sweet. No more harboring anger or getting stressed out or being impatient. Obviously I don't mean the feminist form of radical softness. I don't believe in toxic masculinity for starters, and furthermore, this is all about femininity. I want to … Continue reading Radical, Sweet Softness
