Curate Your Social Media

So many people now say social media is bad, and truthfully for children, it is bad. But for mentally healthy adults, social media can be a place of inspiration and a place to be challenged and even a place to grow in your faith. As a wife and homemaker, I answer to my husband for … Continue reading Curate Your Social Media

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

Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature

Evidently I am probably on too many medicines. I ended up in the ER last night because of double vision and tremors. They referred me to neurology, but they think it is my medicines. So now my doctor is pulling me off one of them. I have been reading A Jury of Her Peers. Fascinating … Continue reading Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature

This year, I want … Continue reading NYE

He takes care of your needs. So take care of his. Most men need sex. Once married, he's only supposed to go to … Continue reading As a Wife, It Is Your Responsibility to Sexually Satisfy Your Husband

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

Classes I’m Taking

I'm so happy! I found a course to listen to online about art therapy. I found another on pressed flowers and floral art. Then I found one on honing your photography style and another on abnormal psychology that will pair nicely with the art therapy class. One day, if I enjoy it, I might get … Continue reading Classes I’m Taking
