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
New Post Coming Soon
I want to start blogging more frequently, but this past weekend I did not feel well, and my inlaws were visiting. Today I am still not feeling well. I may not feel better for a while. So I just wanted to say hello. I will write more on Tuesday or Wednesday, but today I feel … Continue reading New Post Coming Soon
Zines I Want to Write
Lately I have been obsessed with zines. Zines, if you don't know, are small hand-made magazines. Often political, they can also be informational, autobiographical, literary, or filled with visual art. I want to make several zines if I can figure out how to get them out there where people can read. Zine subject ideas include: … Continue reading Zines I Want to Write
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!

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
The Body Positive Movement is Wrong
I don't support it anymore. It went from telling people to be nice to fat people, to lying and saying you can be 400 pounds and be healthy. In the beginning, I thought it was silly but nice. I grew up with a mother who was very mean about and to fat people, so a … Continue reading The Body Positive Movement is Wrong
Homeschooling
I have decided to home school my daughter next year. Right now, she's in a school that's really great and we like it, so she's going to continue until we move. But once we move later this year homeschooling will begin. So far I am enjoying planning our homeschool year. I am adding books to … Continue reading Homeschooling
Home Vs Career
I just want to gush for a minute about how happy I am at home. I am so glad I don't have to go to work. Thank God my husband is a good provider, and I can stay in my home where I feel most comfortable and enjoy being. I get to be with my … Continue reading Home Vs Career
Cleaning Schedule
I am thinking of creating a more solid 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
