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

Why Should She Die for Not Being Popular?
Caitlin, age two, is in my front yard surrounding Agatha. Agatha is a beautiful ornamental grass in front of my pink beach house that the lawn crew put there to make my yard lovely. Caitlin, for her part, isn't a bad girl. Not to me, but she is misunderstood. Caitin is a weed. As a … Continue reading Why Should She Die for Not Being Popular?
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
Sick Today
Our whole family is sick. My daughter is sick. I'm sick. My husband(who is away on an important work trip) is sick. My father in law is kindly here helping out. Sometimes it hurts when I breathe. My head is clogged. I want to write about cleaning and productivity today, but honestly, I'm in bed. … Continue reading Sick Today
Creativity, Love

Joy, Nonfiction

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

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
Trying to Get on My Feet
I spent too much time laying down this morning. Mentally I am not great. But I have since gotten back up. I've been cleaning baseboards. To do it, I've been using my orange duster. Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet
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!
