It feels so strange to not have my baby with me on Mother's Day, but we are not finished with the house. Today my husband will be installing fencing for the yard. I hope to have our daughter and our dogs back next weekend. Moving is so stressful. Last night Craig and I went to … Continue reading Mothers Day

Problem with women
I saw a video in which a former trad wife said it's dangerous to be a traditional wife because if you get tired of your husband, you are stuck. If you get "tired" of someone you are supposed to love, the problem is you. I hate it when people argue against traditional marriage and biblical … Continue reading Problem with women
Sick Day
I have been throwing up a lot since I woke up today. I feel sweaty and weak and tired. At this point I'm just hoping I can keep my medicine down tonight. Yesterday we went to a restaurant we won't have around any more when we move. We grabbed ice cream too. This coming week … Continue reading Sick Day
Housework Inspiration
Today is my first day back to regular life. I have been cleaning, caring for the dogs, and doing laundry. Soon I have to take the car to the dealership because of an oil leak.

Submission and the wheelchair
Quick thought. When I told my husband how safe I feel when he pushes me in my wheelchair, he said it makes sense because I submit. You have to submit when someone else is pushing your wheelchair. Following my husband's lead and listening to him has in many ways become second nature to me. I … Continue reading Submission and the wheelchair

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
Creativity, Love
I feel so free when I collage, so very me when I write poems. My job is to be a homemaker, and I truly love that. But I have a deep passion for poetry and art. I'm so grateful that being at home gives me time to be creative. Bored is a word I don't … Continue reading Creativity, Love
Embracing Motherhood
Motherhood gets a bad rap in the media, and that's largely because of the way that some mothers talk about it. Before I had my daughter, the picture I had of motherhood was grim. I was told becoming a mother would strip me of my identity. I was told I would never again have time … Continue reading Embracing Motherhood
The Job My Father Missed Out On – a Story About God and Waiting
When I was in 5th grade, my father retired from the military. We lived in a small town I loved, and my friends were there who I wanted to go to middle school with. I was broken hearted about having to leave housing and move. Then my father was told about a job locally that … Continue reading The Job My Father Missed Out On – a Story About God and Waiting
