Maybe this has been done already, but pages of Googling have not turned up anything quite like what I'm thinking of. What if there was some sort of monastic group for Christian writers and artists? I mean an order you can join without leaving family responsibilities, like the Order of Saint Patrick. But this would … Continue reading I Have an Idea
Mothers Day
It feels so strange to not have my baby with me on Mother's Day, but we are not finished with the house. Today my husband will be installing fencing for the yard. I hope to have our daughter and our dogs back next weekend. Moving is so stressful. Last night Craig and I went to … Continue reading Mothers Day
Moving is Exhausting
It has been a crazy week. There is so much to unpack and put away. I am physically exhausted from all the carrying stuff around and going up and down the stairs all the time. The bad ankle is not loving me right now. This morning, I hired a professional decorator/organizer to help me. My … Continue reading Moving is Exhausting
Problem with women
I saw a video in which a former trad wife said it's dangerous to be a traditional wife because if you get tired of your husband, you are stuck. If you get "tired" of someone you are supposed to love, the problem is you. I hate it when people argue against traditional marriage and biblical … Continue reading Problem with women
New House
Yesterday my husband and I arrived at our new home. Moving was a fiasco. They were supposed to pick our stuff up on Friday. But first, the company didn't do the paperwork they needed to do. So we had to sponsor them on base. But then, when they were trying to get on, they crashed … Continue reading New House

My Daughter Will Not Be Allowed to Have Social Media
Until A is 18, she cannot have any facebook/Instagram/tiktok (we are raising her to know better than to download a propaganda machine from the CCP)/Snapchat etc. I like social media for staying connected. It has its uses and can be entertaining for a while. But it has a devastating impact on developing minds. I can't … Continue reading My Daughter Will Not Be Allowed to Have Social Media

Sick Day
I have been throwing up a lot since I woke up today. I feel sweaty and weak and tired. At this point I'm just hoping I can keep my medicine down tonight. Yesterday we went to a restaurant we won't have around any more when we move. We grabbed ice cream too. This coming week … Continue reading Sick Day
New Digital Planner!
I have been searching for a useful all-in-one planner system that will account for all my homeschooling needs next year, as well as let me track household goals and creative goals. I wanted something colorful and bright. I ended up on Etsy, where I saw digital planners compatible with the Android app, Penly. They had … Continue reading New Digital Planner!
