I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me. I will struggle to sleep for the 24 hours or so that she will be traveling. But after that initial, terrifying … Continue reading Looking Ahead

Should I Start a Substack?
I'm debating starting a substack, possibly more than one. The platform seems fascinating. I just signed up for an account so I can subscribe to other creators, but I think I want to do one too. I have a few topic ideas. 1. Poetry 2. Art and Photography 3. Homemaking and marriage 4. Faith 5. … Continue reading Should I Start a Substack?
Laundry Day
I have so much laundry to do today! For a while, the washing machine quit working after the power flickered, which slowed me down. But I'm determined to get another load done, maybe two, before my husband gets home. Everything is wet and gray. I can't wait to move. I am so ready to be … Continue reading Laundry Day
Tea, Digital Art, New Dish
Tomorrow, Mother's Day weekend begins. A is having a Mother's Day tea at her school tomorrow. I'm nervous. Today, I've been sick, and my mood has been changing. I'm very exhausted. But I don't want to miss the tea, so I will be going (unless she's sick in the morning). Speaking of feeling bad, A … Continue reading Tea, Digital Art, New Dish

Then we went to Target. After that, we grabbed crepes for lunch. Tomorrow is church, and then the girls will go … Continue reading Busy Weekend
Bible Journaling Life

I'm making washi tape tabs and using highlighters more than I ever have in my life! I have clear tip highlighters … Continue reading Bible Journaling Life
Bible Journaling
I have finally done a couple of simple Bible journaling pages with highlighter, gel pen, watercolor, and pictures of flowers. I covered a page about blood sacrifice in red. I started in Deuteronomy because it isn't exactly my favorite book of the Bible, so I'm less worried about messing up. I also think it might … Continue reading Bible Journaling
Using Youtube to Live a Better Life
I've been making videos and trying to figure out what I want my channel to be when I have so many passions. One idea forming slowly in my mind is that I should have the channel be about faith and the creative life. There's not enough creativity in the church right now, and too few … Continue reading Using Youtube to Live a Better Life
Museum, Glasses, Help
We've been busy today. We met L, our exchange student's, cousins in the city for lunch. Then we went to a science museum. Now we're back at home resting. L is still in the city with her cousins. I've posted 3 Youtube videos. I'm still finding my voice, and I haven't shown my face. But … Continue reading Museum, Glasses, Help
I Have Started a Youtube Channel!
My first video 2nd video I don't have any videos about submission or marriage yet, but I have two videos of reviews of artistic books. I haven't gotten brave enough to show my face yet (feeling shy. I think I sound nervous in the videos), but I will soon. I might make some simple bread … Continue reading I Have Started a Youtube Channel!
