It's weird to think about, but when my husband and I first married we were egalitarian. I submitted to no one. My husband and I were equal in all decisions. I cleaned, but I didn't do any cooking. I was immodest. I was obsessed with college and longed to go to grad school like I … Continue reading Change Over The Years

I’m Going to Publish a Book
I have decided to take the plunge and self publish a book of my poetry. I already have a digital chapbook out from an experimental press I love, but I've never published a full length book. I thought about going the traditional publishing route. However, I was reading a post by another writer the other … Continue reading I’m Going to Publish a Book
Real Men Support Their Families
There is no such thing as a right without responsibilities. Men have the right to be leaders in their homes and make the decisions. They have the right to be head of household. But with that right comes responsibilities, and one of the biggest responsibilities is the responsibility to support the family. If a woman … Continue reading Real Men Support Their Families
Veiling
Wearing veils every day has really been a phenomenal reminder to submit to my husband, read scripture more, and pray. I have several beautiful veils, and I plan to get more. Even though headcovering in Christianity has nothing to do with modesty (which is why I don't hide all my hair), it still helps me … Continue reading Veiling
Masculinity is Wonderful
I'm so tired of hearing the phrase toxic masculinity. There is no such thing. Masculinity is inherently positive. If a man is controlling or violent, that's not masculinity. Those are character flaws, flaws that many women have too. What is masculinity? It's the beautiful thing that makes men men. Masculinity is daring and bold, uafraid … Continue reading Masculinity is Wonderful
Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania
I went to the GI doctor today. He thinks, based on imaging that was done on me when I was in the hospital, that there might be something wrong with my liver. I have to get an MRI soon. Hopefully it's nothing. I also have other problems they found, but I likely won't have surgery … Continue reading Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania
Housewives Should Be Beautiful
If you are a woman, in particular a stay at home wife or girlfriend, you should be as beautiful as you can. Every girl has different assets to work with. Put your best foot forward. Even on a day you are staying home and cleaning all day, you should look feminine and well put together. … Continue reading Housewives Should Be Beautiful
For the First Time in About a Decade…
I am not wearing a dress! I haven't gone back to wearing pants. Instead I am wearing a skirt! New look. I still believe (personal conviction) that women should not wear pants with the exception of wearing them under their dresses when it's cold. So you won't see me in jeans or running around in … Continue reading For the First Time in About a Decade…
Husbands Are Commanded to Love Their Wives
A husband should love his wife like Christ loved the Church and be willing to lay his life down for her. But love isn't just who you die for. It's who you live for. Men with unhappy wives should ask themselves whether the decisions they make benefit the whole family, or only him. Do you … Continue reading Husbands Are Commanded to Love Their Wives
Abstract Photography
I bought a new camera app, and since then, I have been playing with light painting and extended exposure. I've gotten some interesting results I wanted to share here. Means of Production Creativity makes me feel so alive. I am so thankful for this wonderful at home life my husband gives me that allows me … Continue reading Abstract Photography
