I got sick over the weekend, and I'm still sick today. My husband is so kind. He helps out so much around the house. He gets the errands done so I don't have to go in stores. I am thankful for him. My husband is a gift from God that I do not deserve. He … Continue reading In Praise of my Husband

Fantastic Days With Friends
Last week, my friend R and I went to the beach next to my house. I got a bit of a sunburn! It was nice to just lay out and chat. Then on Monday I went out with my new friend, C. Her husband works under mine, and we met at a party. She was … Continue reading Fantastic Days With Friends
Why Feminists Hate Traditional Women
It all comes down to finding a mate. Most men, if given the choice between a bossy and promiscuous career woman and a gentle homemaker, will choose the latter. Traditional women scare straight liberal women because they know we are more desirable to most men, and they don't want to compete with traditional women on … Continue reading Why Feminists Hate Traditional Women
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

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
Catholicism and Contraception
I have been exploring Catholicism for awhile now. I collect rosaries, and some Catholic teachings really appeal to me, so it makes sense to explore. One I get caught up on though, is the Catholic requirement to be "open to life" - to not use any form of contraception, and be willing to have more … Continue reading Catholicism and Contraception
Beautiful Planner Layout
Last night, my Erin Condren vertical planner arrived. This morning, I set it up with stickers. Here is next week's layout. I photographed it before filling it in. Some stickers are a little crooked because it was my first planner set up in ages, and my hand wasn't steady. Other pages, which I will post … Continue reading Beautiful Planner Layout
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
Friendship Soothes the Soul
I've spent most of the morning talking to my best friend, L. It feels so good to chat and connect. When we started talking, depression had me wanting to go to bed. But L encouraged me to stay up and kept me talking. I'm so grateful for L. She's a true friend through thick and … Continue reading Friendship Soothes the Soul
