My husband mentioned to me yesterday that he thinks some of the dresses I wear are daring. Some of them, many in fact, are quite conservative. But I do have some dresses that are very short and low cut. I have cleaned my wardrobe out of clothes like that to please my husband in the … Continue reading Cutting a Little Sexiness From My Wardrobe

Hospital
I've been in the hospital since Tuesday night with stomach problems. Hopefully, I get to go home today. I desperately want to go home. I want to clean and scrapbook and do the school run and go to Bible study and everything else. My life is calling me to come back to it. Here is … Continue reading Hospital
Goal Setting
I have been meaning to clean out the refrigerator for a long time. It's totally time to do it. But I haven't. So this week's goal is to clean the refrigerator. Do you set goals in your homemaking? I love setting goals. Productivity feels good. For instance, this might surprise you but my husband cooks. … Continue reading Goal Setting
Don’t Be Intellectually Lazy
Before I fell in love with being at home, I wanted to be a professor. I like debates and critiques. I adore scientific and philosophical inquiry. Poetry was going to be my focus (for my first grad degree), and I wanted rigorous feedback on my work. Research is my passion. In my senior year of … Continue reading Don’t Be Intellectually Lazy
Obey Your Husband Like You Obey God
Your husband is not God. He is a man. He is fallible. But God commands women to obey their husbands. That is not up for debate. There have been times when I have not agreed with my husband's decisions, but I supported them anyway. And each time that has happened, blessings have come my way … Continue reading Obey Your Husband Like You Obey God
Bring Back Patriarchy

Women should not be drafted (something Congress recently considered) and so they should not have the right to vote. When you vote, you vote for or against wars. People who don't fight shouldn't get … Continue reading Bring Back Patriarchy
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
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
You Should Submit to Your Husband – Twice a Year
Submission is a subject I'm passionate about. I believe that when a wife submits to her husband and to God that her life becomes more beautiful. I grew up in a household with an extremely domineering woman, so I wasn't raised that way. Submission, and headcovering, came to me later when I was already married. … Continue reading You Should Submit to Your Husband – Twice a Year
