Looking Ahead

I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me. I will struggle to sleep for the 24 hours or so that she will be traveling. But after that initial, terrifying … Continue reading Looking Ahead

I Belong to My Husband

Can I just say that a traditional marriage is immensely sexy and fulfilling? There is something so powerful about a man who takes charge. Submission is spoken about by feminists and egalitarians like it's slavery. It's treated like a dirty word. But both men and women are more likely to be happy and satisfied in … Continue reading I Belong to My Husband

Laundry Day

I have so much laundry to do today! For a while, the washing machine quit working after the power flickered, which slowed me down. But I'm determined to get another load done, maybe two, before my husband gets home. Everything is wet and gray. I can't wait to move. I am so ready to be … Continue reading Laundry Day

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

Careers Are Unnecessary

I have never had a career. I was working when I met my husband, but it was just a retail job. It was very easy to walk away from, and as soon as my husband and I were engaged, with his permission I quit. Careers are overrated. Unlike a husband or children, they don't love … Continue reading Careers Are Unnecessary

Silence as Feminine Silk

Silence is silky, feminine. A soft voice is an earthly slice of paradise. My husband talks for me a lot. I lean on him heavily in stores and at restaurants, and in a variety of social situations. Exclusivity makes femininity a treat. Not everyone gets access to me. I speak to people who interest me … Continue reading Silence as Feminine Silk
