My inlaws are here. Day 2. I haven't been at my best, or really been the best hostess. I'm antisocial, moody, and tired. I'm stressed out. Why can't I relax? Having C home for the week is nice. I wish it were time with him with just the immediate family. But I'm glad he's getting … Continue reading Inlaws Are Here

Personal Curriculum Plans

Using Youtube to Live a Better Life
I've been making videos and trying to figure out what I want my channel to be when I have so many passions. One idea forming slowly in my mind is that I should have the channel be about faith and the creative life. There's not enough creativity in the church right now, and too few … Continue reading Using Youtube to Live a Better Life
NYE
Tonight we will have our New Years tradition, pizza. I'm thinking about resolutions I want to make and listening to linguistics lectures. I learned that Native American languages are controversially grouped into three families. Last year, my big goal was to embrace softness and femininity. I feel like I did that. This year, I want … Continue reading NYE
