I have been throwing up a lot since I woke up today. I feel sweaty and weak and tired. At this point I'm just hoping I can keep my medicine down tonight. Yesterday we went to a restaurant we won't have around any more when we move. We grabbed ice cream too. This coming week … Continue reading Sick Day

New Digital Planner!
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!
Wedding!
Last weekend my husband and I went to the wedding of a close friend of his. The church was lovely. The bride's dress was lovely. The crab cakes were good. All in all, we had a great time However, I embarrassed myself during the reception. I hurt my arm muscle/shoulder joint, and I yelled out … Continue reading Wedding!
Submission and the wheelchair
Quick thought. When I told my husband how safe I feel when he pushes me in my wheelchair, he said it makes sense because I submit. You have to submit when someone else is pushing your wheelchair. 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
Vacation
Our vacation has been wonderful. Yesterday we went to the Salvador Dali museum. Seeing his art again was incredible (MY husband and I visited before on a romantic trip years ago), and I got new books I'm excited about. One is biographies of surrealists, one is about Leonora Carrington....and one is letters between Lorca and … Continue reading Vacation

My wheelchair with the seat cushion my husband bought for it is comfortable. Very. We've been at Busch Gardens since they opened this morning. 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
My Wheelchair Is Here!
My wheelchair and some of the accessories have arrived. We are going on vacation soon, and the wheelchair will allow me to enjoy theme parks, the aquarium, big museums, and more. If you are wondering why I need a wheelchair, it is because I needed surgery on my right ankle several years ago, and the … Continue reading My Wheelchair Is Here!
Submission is Beautiful
So many people are against submission because feminism and rebelling against the Bible are so popular. Many women who find my Instagram assume I am dumb and abused. When I first married my husband, submission was not a part of my life. My husband even told me he wanted to leave "obey" out of our … Continue reading Submission is Beautiful
Gentle Parenting Sucks
Hear me out. Teaching kids to articulate their feelings is wonderful. But not all feelings deserve validation, and if you really want to prepare your children for the world, you must teach them when their feelings are or are not relevant. Recently I watched a video in which a mother of several children talks about … Continue reading Gentle Parenting Sucks
Stepping Back From the News
I hate stress and love the soft life. Current events stress me out badly because I can see so much wrong being done, and I can't fix it. What will be will be. I can't control the world. I will vote and make a difference where I can, but losing sleep over it just leaves … Continue reading Stepping Back From the News
