Today I used our old bread machine to make my first loaf of bread. I made parmesan garlic bread. It didn't turn out perfectly. I took out the mixing piece too soon. But my husband has still enjoyed a piece. Tomorrow I might try again. I got several chores done today, but not as many … Continue reading My First Loaf of Bread

Moving is Exhausting
It has been a crazy week. There is so much to unpack and put away. I am physically exhausted from all the carrying stuff around and going up and down the stairs all the time. The bad ankle is not loving me right now. This morning, I hired a professional decorator/organizer to help me. My … Continue reading Moving is Exhausting
New House
Yesterday my husband and I arrived at our new home. Moving was a fiasco. They were supposed to pick our stuff up on Friday. But first, the company didn't do the paperwork they needed to do. So we had to sponsor them on base. But then, when they were trying to get on, they crashed … Continue reading New House
Preparing to Move
I purged so much stuff over the weekend and I have more to go. Sadly, I got rid of my treadmill. It takes up a lot of space and the reality is that even though I'm losing weight and a treadmill could help, I am just not physically able to use one. It felt a … Continue reading Preparing to Move

Dreary, Colorsplash, Homeschooling
Today has been dark and dreary. The weather brought my mood down a lot. I can enjoy an afternoon downpour laced with lightning, but a day so dark from the start that you don't know the sun has risen until well after dawn is another thing. Days like this suck. I adore the Pacific Northwest, … Continue reading Dreary, Colorsplash, Homeschooling
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
Big Cleaning Day
Although I was still sick, I was doing a little better, and I cleaned the house like crazy. Dusting, laundry, organizing, dishes, picking up, cleaning bathrooms etc. Disinfecting things felt good. I want to chase the sick out of the house. I got 150 zink photo paper stickers recently, and I have been printing my … Continue reading Big Cleaning Day
My Planner!
I am back to using a planner again. I'm using one that was custom designed for me several years ago by an Etsy shop owner who has since closed. It isn't completely perfect for me now. Because I could use more space in the homeschooling columns for next year, and I want the cleaning section … Continue reading My Planner!
