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

Bible Journaling Life

Bible journaling is life changing. I've never felt closer to God or more engrossed in His word. I'm having a hard time doing other things because I just want to be in my Bible! 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

There's not enough creativity in the church right now, and too few … Continue reading Using Youtube to Live a Better Life

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!

Blogging Without a Niche

Sometimes, I wonder if I talk about too much on this blog. I have poetry and art and submission and marriage and literature and photography and family stuff and mental health posts. You could definitely say I don't narrow in on a niche! But my life, like everyone else's, is complex and real. As a … Continue reading Blogging Without a Niche

Blogging Life

I received three beautiful back issues of Artful Blogging. I'm really enjoying pouring over the lovely pages and soaking up inspiration. This blog has always been a hybrid. It's partly about traditional marriage, femininity, and gender roles. But it's also a diary of my life as a wife and mother. In addition to my work … Continue reading Blogging Life
