What does "having it all" mean to you? Is it attainable? For me, having it all is having tons of one on one time with my daughter. Having it all is giving it all to a sweet, brilliant man who sharpens me as iron sharpens iron. It's having days of beauty, where poetry flows from … Continue reading What Do I Want When I Say I Want to Have It All?

In Praise of my Husband
I got sick over the weekend, and I'm still sick today. My husband is so kind. He helps out so much around the house. He gets the errands done so I don't have to go in stores. I am thankful for him. My husband is a gift from God that I do not deserve. He … Continue reading In Praise of my Husband
Mother’s Day Was Wonderful
We went to Olive Garden on Thursday for Mother's Day so that we wouldn't have to deal with crowds. We did Taco Bell day of. Angelica got me a book of questions for Mothers.

Beautiful New Nook!
One year ago my husband ordered me a dining nook from a wonderful Amish company that makes everything by hand. Last night it arrived, and I could not be more thrilled. At restaurants I always prefer booths. Now I have one in my house. It's so comfy. It's very homey too. I am so grateful … Continue reading Beautiful New Nook!

Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives

I guess you could say my husband is my boss, but he loves me so that's different. But when your whole day is … Continue reading Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Friends, Depression, Minimalism
For the last several days I have been depressed. It has really been a struggle. Today though, I was invited by H and A from church to hang out at H's house. I looked up her address, and the drive looked like something I could do, so I went. I am so glad I did! … Continue reading Friends, Depression, Minimalism
Beautiful Planner Layout
Last night, my Erin Condren vertical planner arrived. This morning, I set it up with stickers. Here is next week's layout. I photographed it before filling it in. Some stickers are a little crooked because it was my first planner set up in ages, and my hand wasn't steady. Other pages, which I will post … Continue reading Beautiful Planner Layout
Scheduling to Increase Productivity
My schedule is sometimes wide open during the day, which I love. I can do what I need to when I'm ready, and do what I want when I feel up to it. However, because of depression this sometimes means I don't get as much done as I could. Sometimes having a forcing function to … Continue reading Scheduling to Increase Productivity
