I have decided to embrace a radical softness. I want to be serene, gentle, and sweet. No more harboring anger or getting stressed out or being impatient. Obviously I don't mean the feminist form of radical softness. I don't believe in toxic masculinity for starters, and furthermore, this is all about femininity. I want to … Continue reading Radical, Sweet Softness

Homeschooling
I have decided to home school my daughter next year. Right now, she's in a school that's really great and we like it, so she's going to continue until we move. But once we move later this year homeschooling will begin. So far I am enjoying planning our homeschool year. I am adding books to … Continue reading Homeschooling
Home Vs Career
I just want to gush for a minute about how happy I am at home. I am so glad I don't have to go to work. Thank God my husband is a good provider, and I can stay in my home where I feel most comfortable and enjoy being. I get to be with my … Continue reading Home Vs Career
Cleaning Schedule
I am thinking of creating a more solid cleaning schedule. As it stands, I just do things as I can when they need to be done - like picking up before my husband gets home, cooking dinner, or mopping floors. But a schedule might help me keep the house extra clean and inspire me to … Continue reading Cleaning Schedule
Public Vs Private
Today on Instagram I wrote about how masculine the public sphere is. From work to politics, public life is filled with conflict. Fighting through that conflict is masculine. I prefer the gentle, serene, and feminine. I have a fiery personality sometimes, but I like to stay at home and be at peace. I'm not saying … Continue reading Public Vs Private
2024 Goals
1. Decorate my home in a more eclectic style. I want to be true to my own vision - like when I ordered a handmade, rainbow collection of jellyfish for my window. 2. Publish a book. I have an art book and a poetry book in the works. I am obsessed with collage, and I … Continue reading 2024 Goals
Christmas Break
I have loved having my daughter home from school most of this week, and I'm loving my husband's four day weekend right now. I have done almost all my Christmas shopping I don't think I have mentioned this before, but I recently started a trad wife tumblr. I don't write about my daily life there … Continue reading Christmas Break
Change Over The Years
It's weird to think about, but when my husband and I first married we were egalitarian. I submitted to no one. My husband and I were equal in all decisions. I cleaned, but I didn't do any cooking. I was immodest. I was obsessed with college and longed to go to grad school like I … Continue reading Change Over The Years
Real Men Support Their Families
There is no such thing as a right without responsibilities. Men have the right to be leaders in their homes and make the decisions. They have the right to be head of household. But with that right comes responsibilities, and one of the biggest responsibilities is the responsibility to support the family. If a woman … Continue reading Real Men Support Their Families
Veiling
Wearing veils every day has really been a phenomenal reminder to submit to my husband, read scripture more, and pray. I have several beautiful veils, and I plan to get more. Even though headcovering in Christianity has nothing to do with modesty (which is why I don't hide all my hair), it still helps me … Continue reading Veiling
