The Job My Father Missed Out On – a Story About God and Waiting

When I was in 5th grade, my father retired from the military. We lived in a small town I loved, and my friends were there who I wanted to go to middle school with. I was broken hearted about having to leave housing and move. Then my father was told about a job locally that … Continue reading The Job My Father Missed Out On – a Story About God and Waiting

Trying to Get on My Feet

I spent too much time laying down this morning. Mentally I am not great. But I have since gotten back up. I've been cleaning baseboards. To do it, I've been using my orange duster. Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet

My Planner!

I am back to using a planner again. I'm using one that was custom designed for me several years ago by an Etsy shop owner who has since closed. It isn't completely perfect for me now. Because I could use more space in the homeschooling columns for next year, and I want the cleaning section … Continue reading My Planner!

Radical, Sweet Softness

I have decided to embrace a radical softness. I want to be serene, gentle, and sweet. No more harboring anger or getting stressed out or being impatient. Obviously I don't mean the feminist form of radical softness. I don't believe in toxic masculinity for starters, and furthermore, this is all about femininity. I want to … Continue reading Radical, Sweet Softness

Cleaning Schedule

As it stands, I just do things as I can when they need to be done - like picking up before my husband gets home, cooking dinner, or mopping floors. But a schedule might help me keep the house extra clean and inspire me to … Continue reading Cleaning Schedule

Public Vs Private

Today on Instagram I wrote about how masculine the public sphere is. From work to politics, public life is filled with conflict. Fighting through that conflict is masculine. I prefer the gentle, serene, and feminine. I have a fiery personality sometimes, but I like to stay at home and be at peace. I'm not saying … Continue reading Public Vs Private

2024 Goals

1. Decorate my home in a more eclectic style. I want to be true to my own vision - like when I ordered a handmade, rainbow collection of jellyfish for my window. 2. Publish a book. I have an art book and a poetry book in the works. I am obsessed with collage, and I … Continue reading 2024 Goals

Christmas Break

I have loved having my daughter home from school most of this week, and I'm loving my husband's four day weekend right now. I have done almost all my Christmas shopping I don't think I have mentioned this before, but I recently started a trad wife tumblr. I don't write about my daily life there … Continue reading Christmas Break
