Blogging Life

I received three beautiful back issues of Artful Blogging. I'm really enjoying pouring over the lovely pages and soaking up inspiration. This blog has always been a hybrid. It's partly about traditional marriage, femininity, and gender roles. But it's also a diary of my life as a wife and mother. In addition to my work … Continue reading Blogging Life

Short Update

Regular articles will be back soon. Today's life update is that we took an interesting tour of the Pentagon. Then I got fillings at the dentist. My inlaws seem to be enjoying themselves. Church will be virtual tomorrow because of the snow. I went to the Pentagon in my wheelchair because there's no way I … Continue reading Short Update

Church, Snow

We were supposed to be welcomed as members into our church today, but I vomited on the way. We were maybe 10 minutes from church when I started spewing and eventually couldn't swallow it down. I feel so bad. They were prepared to welcome us. Since then I have been resting. My dear husband made … Continue reading Church, Snow

2024 to 2025

My overarching goal for 2024 was to embrace radical softness and express my femininity. I think I mostly did that.

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

I’m a Victorian Housewife

Trad wives are often compared to 50s housewives. That somewhat applies to me. I am very traditional. I wear dresses every day. As much as possible I wear jewelry to clean the house as well. I put my family first. I stayed home with my daughter before she started school. I am still at home … Continue reading I’m a Victorian Housewife

The Tiktok Outrage is Pathetic

40 year old women doing stupid dance routines. Book recommendations for books that have already been read by anyone even vaguely interested in them. Life coaches who live in their mom's basement promising you a life of success if you just listen to them (and pay handsomely). What do all these moronic things/people have in … Continue reading The Tiktok Outrage is Pathetic

Quit Doom Scrolling

When you're having a sick day, have some free time, or are in some space of waiting, it can be easy to doom scroll. These phones are addictive! It seems like nowadays the most common thing is to meet people who have no hobbies outside of scrolling instagram or lurking on reddit. No passions. No … Continue reading Quit Doom Scrolling
