Interview
Today, I did a delightful interview with a German social science researcher about the trad wife movement, what brought me to it, how was I raised, etc. The researcher was very nice and friendly, and I'd be glad to help her in the future. She said something too that really stuck with me. I told … Continue reading Interview
Seven Benefits of Patriarchy for Women
Patriarchy isn't just for men. Women benefit, too. 1. We are protected. 2. We are provided for. A woman in a traditional "patriarchal" relationship doesn't have to worry about paying the bills. She also gets shopping money each month, an allowance from her husband. 3. I am convinced that with patriarchy, the s*x is better. … Continue reading Seven Benefits of Patriarchy for Women

I found Big Cat Diary on Amazon Prime and confess I bought it. I loved that show back when my husband and I met, and I watched much of it with him. It's a super big nature documentary.

What Do I Want When I Say I Want to Have It All?
What does "having it all" mean to you? Is it attainable? For me, having it all is having tons of one on one time with my daughter. Having it all is giving it all to a sweet, brilliant man who sharpens me as iron sharpens iron. It's having days of beauty, where poetry flows from … Continue reading What Do I Want When I Say I Want to Have It All?
Books, Studying, Panama
I have so many new books. I have one in depth book about the octopus. I have another with gorgeous up close photographs of plankton. Additionally, I have a book coming in the Victorian language of flowers.
