Hospital

I've been in the hospital since Tuesday night with stomach problems. Hopefully, I get to go home today. I desperately want to go home. I want to clean and scrapbook and do the school run and go to Bible study and everything else. My life is calling me to come back to it. Here is … Continue reading Hospital

Goal Setting

I have been meaning to clean out the refrigerator for a long time. It's totally time to do it. But I haven't. So this week's goal is to clean the refrigerator. Do you set goals in your homemaking? I love setting goals. Productivity feels good. For instance, this might surprise you but my husband cooks. … Continue reading Goal Setting

Don’t Be Intellectually Lazy

Before I fell in love with being at home, I wanted to be a professor. I like debates and critiques. I adore scientific and philosophical inquiry. Poetry was going to be my focus (for my first grad degree), and I wanted rigorous feedback on my work. Research is my passion. In my senior year of … Continue reading Don’t Be Intellectually Lazy

I had to get up at 430 for ECT this morning, and they put me under anesthesia, but for some reason, when I got home, I … Continue reading Busy at Home

Obey Your Husband Like You Obey God

Your husband is not God. He is a man. He is fallible. But God commands women to obey their husbands. That is not up for debate. There have been times when I have not agreed with my husband's decisions, but I supported them anyway. And each time that has happened, blessings have come my way … Continue reading Obey Your Husband Like You Obey God

My Job as Family Historian

All the ECT I have been doing is causing memory loss. This is causing me to have a greater appreciation for memory keeping. Recently, I have gotten back into scrapbooking. I went supply shopping with my friend C on Thursday and with my daughter on Saturday. I'm the wife and mother of the house. Recording … Continue reading My Job as Family Historian
