We had a wonderful weekend. My husband was home Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, we drove across town to a coffee shop my husband loves. Then we got lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Saturday was the best day of the three. We went to a gorgeous historic plantation in a state park. I got … Continue reading Great Weekend

Beautiful New Nook!
One year ago my husband ordered me a dining nook from a wonderful Amish company that makes everything by hand. Last night it arrived, and I could not be more thrilled. At restaurants I always prefer booths. Now I have one in my house. It's so comfy. It's very homey too. I am so grateful … Continue reading Beautiful New Nook!
Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Having some sort of schedule can help boost your productivity. One of the things I love about this life is that I don't have a boss, and only answer to my husband. I guess you could say my husband is my boss, but he loves me so that's different. But when your whole day is … Continue reading Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Friends, Depression, Minimalism
For the last several days I have been depressed. It has really been a struggle. Today though, I was invited by H and A from church to hang out at H's house. I looked up her address, and the drive looked like something I could do, so I went. I am so glad I did! … Continue reading Friends, Depression, Minimalism
Scheduling to Increase Productivity
My schedule is sometimes wide open during the day, which I love. I can do what I need to when I'm ready, and do what I want when I feel up to it. However, because of depression this sometimes means I don't get as much done as I could. Sometimes having a forcing function to … Continue reading Scheduling to Increase Productivity
Back to School, Mood Swings, Alaska
Today is my daughter's last day of Christmas break. I can't believe it's over. I feel like I didn't see her much because when we went to Georgia to visit, she stayed with her grandparents while I stayed at the hotel. Tomorrow morning I have to bring her back to school, and I am so … Continue reading Back to School, Mood Swings, Alaska
Stay at Home Girlfriends
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
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
Tasks I Want To Do
My husband gets home from El Salvador tomorrow night. I haven't been on top of my homemaking. I started the week extremely depressed. As of yesterday I was starting to perk up, but I haven't been sleeping great at night so I've been sleeping a lot during the day. My father in law goes home … Continue reading Tasks I Want To Do
Still Lifes
So I had an idea (probably not original) of doing still life photographing of objects that are part of my daily life. My husband has taken my daughter to a birthday party (side note. Can we agree that requiring a parent to stay at a 3rd grade party is just lame) and I'm washing her … Continue reading Still Lifes
