Today A had a birthday party to go to. We drove her 40 minutes there, and then C and I went out to lunch just the two of us. Our sweet exchange student L had chosen to stay home, so C and I got to go on a date. When we got home, C went … Continue reading Nice Day

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
My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing
Men are wired to be territorial. It's part of masculinity. A strong, masculine man who is interested in you will naturally want to keep you for himself. My husband, for instance, doesn't like for me to wear short skirts or low cut dresses. Yes, he likes to look at me in those things, but he … Continue reading My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing
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
Obedience, Moving
Obeying my husband is always necessary, and as usual, I know what he says is likely for my own good. I don't agree, but I'm being petulant, and he's probably right. I want to go off all my Bipolar medicine to help me lose weight and trigger hypomania (not mania). My husband insists that I … Continue reading Obedience, Moving
Wonderful Day With my Man
Today the girls had school but my husband didn't have work, so he and I spent the day together. We took a lovely two hour drive and went to a Mexican restaurant I love. We chatted nonstop for 6 hours. It was glorious! We talked a lot about the future and upcoming changes for the … Continue reading Wonderful Day With my Man
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
Lovely Afternoon
A had a cooking class today, followed by a sleepover. She won't come home until tomorrow night after her next cooking class. I miss her, but today C and I got to go out on a date. It has been nice having it be just the two of us for the evening. Tomorrow C goes … Continue reading Lovely Afternoon
Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse
Somehow, it has become controversial even among some "Christian" women to say that when your husband wants to have sex with you, you should say yes. Scripture says, "Do not deny yourselves to each other, unless you first agree to do so for a while in order to spend your time in prayer; but then … Continue reading Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse
Settling In
I can almost run my vacuum! The upstairs is mostly off the floor. We have unpacked so much, and this past weekend we had help. It was wonderful! Today I have a ton of laundry to do. The machines I have at this house play a cute little tune when the load is done. That … Continue reading Settling In
