I'm in my soft era. I want to write about my creative endeavors, marriage, motherhood, and Catholic faith. Of course I'll still write about submission, and also the Bipolar Disorder I struggle with. This is an honest diary. But I don't want as much acerbic content here as I have had in the past. I … Continue reading Welcome to My Refinished Space

I Deleted My Trad Instagram
I have come to realize that while many of my male followers are good fathers and husbands, or hope to be one day, some truly despise women. They take the beauty of submission- a gift a woman gives her husband - and twist it into something dark and abusive. I don't want a woman suffering … Continue reading I Deleted My Trad Instagram
In the Midst of the Storm
The power has been out for 14 hours. I'm so hot it's ridiculous. One of our fire alarms is periodically beeping because it's malfunctioning. Wind whips so hard through the storm shutters that they bang and whistle. I'm charging my phone on my laptop the best I can. The house is a dark, humid, hot … Continue reading In the Midst of the Storm
C Just Landed!
C just landed at our local airport, and just in time. A typhoon arrives tomorrow. It might be big. I've got a bathtub full of water in case the water lines get cut. I'm going to try to make sure my phone and my ipad, and everything else are charged before the storm hits. We … Continue reading C Just Landed!
Social Media Rest/No Buy

Preferably kindle books to keep costs down (shipping is high) and to avoid having a hard move when it's time to leave. No Lisa Frank stuff. No … Continue reading Social Media Rest/No Buy
C is Home – for Now
We had a lovely weekend with C home. We cuddled, and he caught up on sleep. The organizer stood me up, letting me know 40 minutes after she was supposed to arrive that she wasn't coming. So I've found someone else to come on Thursday. Hopefully that works out. Aside from being stood up though, … Continue reading C is Home – for Now
Yay!
C comes home tonight! I am over the moon thrilled. I'm chatting with him while he's on the plane. I have missed him so much. And a new dinosaur documentary comes out on Netflix tomorrow! And I have an organizer coming to help me reorganize my jam packed art studio. This should be an amazing … Continue reading Yay!
A Week of Struggle
There's no getting around it. This week has been an absolute struggle. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. I'm exhausted on a spiritual plane. But I need to count my blessings, so here's a partial list in no order. My husband has been traveling safely and calling and texting as much as he can, though, with the … Continue reading A Week of Struggle
Early Valentine’s Day
Yesterday, C and I went out to celebrate Valentine’s early, since he had the day off work and things would be less busy. We got a light lunch and some cinnabon to take home. We also went to the bookstore and the beach. Then we came home and took a nice nap. It was a … Continue reading Early Valentine’s Day
