We're up in New England. I'm from up here, and it's nice to come back where I came from. The water, the history, the rocky granite landscape that formed me down to my bones - it's nice to be back at the source even if I prefer Colorado or Florida. We got here last Sunday, … Continue reading Enjoying New England

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
Careers Are Unnecessary
I have never had a career. I was working when I met my husband, but it was just a retail job. It was very easy to walk away from, and as soon as my husband and I were engaged, with his permission I quit. Careers are overrated. Unlike a husband or children, they don't love … Continue reading Careers Are Unnecessary
Great Day
My daughter A had the day off today, but my husband and our exchange student did not, so it was just A and I. So we bonded! We got Taco Bell for lunch and then went on a shopping spree to the fabric store since it's closing soon. I got so much fabric! I got … Continue reading Great Day

But for mentally healthy adults, social media can be a place of inspiration and a place to be challenged and even a place to grow in your faith. As a wife and homemaker, I answer to my husband for … Continue reading Curate Your Social Media
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
Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature
Evidently I am probably on too many medicines. I ended up in the ER last night because of double vision and tremors. They referred me to neurology, but they think it is my medicines. So now my doctor is pulling me off one of them. I have been reading A Jury of Her Peers. Fascinating … Continue reading Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature
NYE
Tonight we will have our New Years tradition, pizza. I'm thinking about resolutions I want to make and listening to linguistics lectures. I learned that Native American languages are controversially grouped into three families. Last year, my big goal was to embrace softness and femininity. I feel like I did that. This year, I want … Continue reading NYE
Education
Beginning in January, I will be getting feedback on the book I wrote this year, as well as some other projects I've been working on. I'm looking forward to the mentorship. What I want is to get my poems to a point where I feel they're ready to be in a book. Whether or not … Continue reading Education
