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!

I Feel Fragile
In the fictionalized biography of Elizabeth Winthrope titled "The Winthrope Woman," Elizabeth is speaking with her sister, Martha. Her sister tells her that she (Martha) is "cobweb that tears at a touch." I feel that way sometimes. It feels like I break so easily. I cried earlier today because of an upcoming move.

Following my husband's lead and listening to him has in many ways become second nature to me. I … Continue reading Submission and the wheelchair

My wonderful husband wheels me around to shady places to relax in while he and A ride the rides. She went on her first rollercoaster today! I'm so proud of her. … Continue reading Comfy
What I am now
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was 5 years old, my dream was to go to college. Harvard was my pick, but that was mainly because I couldn't think of any other colleges. I wanted to get married the day after I graduated, and then … Continue reading What I am now
Moving, Angel, Vacation
This week I found out we will be moving sooner than I expected. I will really miss this house by the ocean, our cute neighborhood, and my friend C. Moving is never easy. It's especially hard on children. I know my daughter will miss all her friends here. Yesterday there was an awards ceremony at … Continue reading Moving, Angel, Vacation
