So I don't have TikTok, but I love seeing the stay at home girlfriend videos. Some of them accurately reflect my life as a stay at home wife. I'm a stay at home mom in the summer and on school breaks, but the rest of the time I'm a stay at home wife. My day … Continue reading Stay at Home Girlfriends

Merry Christmas!
From my home to yours, Merry Christmas. We exchanged gifts this morning, and my husband made manicotti for a Christmas meal. Delicious. My present is a gorgeous opal necklace. One of Angelica's presents is a remote control vehicle that can go up walls and on the ceiling. She loves it. She also got Tuttle Twins … Continue reading Merry Christmas!
Abortion and Miscarriage
Mom groups are some of the dumbest places on the internet. Today's hypocrisy is miscarriage and abortion. I see so many women become enraged at anti abortion legislation, insult Planned Parenthood protestors who believe it's babies being killed, and offer to take other women for abortions. Yet these same women in later posts come on … Continue reading Abortion and Miscarriage
Tropical Storm
Tropical storm Nicole is getting close. The sky is gray and the waves are crazy. I can see them turning white from my back porch. School might be canceled tomorrow. I hope it is. I don't want to drive in a tropical storm. This isn't a hurricane like Ian (at least it won't be when … Continue reading Tropical Storm
Why I Tell My Daughter About Hell
A lot of people won't talk to children, especially young children, about hell and the very real possibility of going there. I, on the other hand, have always made it a point to talk about hell as much as I do Heaven. I want my daughter to know there are very real consequences to not … Continue reading Why I Tell My Daughter About Hell
Ode to Joy
Last night, while passing out candy to the roughly 560 kids who came to the door, I began to read a book of poetry by Anne Carson. Suddenly, for the first time in months, poetry came to me! I'm afraid to get my hopes up, but I think poetry is back. I'm so excited! I … Continue reading Ode to Joy
Getting Rid of Feminism in my Daughter
Last night my daughter was mad at a boy in her class. I mean mad. Why, you ask? Because he said men were stronger than women. In a society where young boys are typically shown horrible models of what manliness is I think it's great if a little boy is proud of being a boy. … Continue reading Getting Rid of Feminism in my Daughter
Succulents, MWR Digital Library
Today I took Angelica on a mommy daughter trip to Home Depot to choose succulents. She chose two cacti. I chose 3 mini succulents to go in one pot. Craig leaves again soon and will be gone for almost 2 whole weeks, with one brief trip home in the middle. My father-in-law is coming to … Continue reading Succulents, MWR Digital Library
Meet Aurora!
Today we adopted Aurora from a wonderfully kind, retired Navy lady. She took Aurora in and named her when her neighbor died and his kids threw his dog out on the street. She found her sad and scared and pregnant. Aurora had 11 puppies and took care of them. The lady made a post in … Continue reading Meet Aurora!
Long Days Alone
Angelica has started school, so I am settling in to long days at home alone. There's plenty to do, but time to rest too. Being at home when your kids go to school is a nice break. I miss homeschooling and having her with me all day, but this is a lot less stress. Yesterday … Continue reading Long Days Alone
