I've decided my social media habits need a major overhaul. Scrolling distracts me from housework. It also distracts me from reading books, which are much better for my mind than posts and memes. I don't want to get rid of my Facebook or Instagram. They're great for connecting with people, and one of my Instagrams … Continue reading Doom Scrolling/Food

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
Thanksgiving
Our Thanksgiving has been wonderful. It was L's first Thanksgiving, and it was fun to share the day with her. C made an absolute feast for us, outdoing himself as always. Then, after we ate, C and A took naps while L and I painted. Now I'm reading a beautiful art book I got for … Continue reading Thanksgiving
New Church
We ended up trying a new church this morning because our church was shut for the Fall retreat we didn't go on. We went to a church far away, because it was the denomination we wanted, which is hard to find. When I tell you this church was wonderful, it lacked nothing. The service was … Continue reading New Church
Dogs, Church, Park
I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park
She’s here!
Our exchange student, L, arrived Tuesday night. She's so sweet. She brought us a beautiful photography book about Spain, among other gifts. It's gorgeous. Yesterday we took her into the city. I hope she had fun! She seems to be bonding well with A. Today we took her up to the high school to get … Continue reading She’s here!
Benefits of Headcovering
God has called me to wear headcovers. I strive to wear them whenever I go out and frequently when I'm in the house as well. I take them off to eat because I don't want to accidentally drop anything on one, and sometimes I take them off when I'm with my dogs so that they … Continue reading Benefits of Headcovering
Wonderful Weekend
The girls weekend with L was wonderful! We had a horror movie marathon! We also ate at a couple of good restaurants and went to a carousel. We had hoped to do the pool, but found out that this particular hotel didn't have one. Oh well. We had an amazing time nonetheless! Now I'm back … Continue reading Wonderful Weekend
I Have an Idea
Maybe this has been done already, but pages of Googling have not turned up anything quite like what I'm thinking of. What if there was some sort of monastic group for Christian writers and artists? I mean an order you can join without leaving family responsibilities, like the Order of Saint Patrick. But this would … Continue reading I Have an Idea
Submission is Beautiful
So many people are against submission because feminism and rebelling against the Bible are so popular. Many women who find my Instagram assume I am dumb and abused. When I first married my husband, submission was not a part of my life. My husband even told me he wanted to leave "obey" out of our … Continue reading Submission is Beautiful
