The Simple Woman’s Daybook ~ 3.9.10
March 09, 2010"I am, as I told my husband, rather zonked today (not intoxicated; just extremely tired; that’s the alternate definition). The little one wanted to party all night long. I do feel like contributing something to the blogosphere, though, so I’ll do a Simple Woman’s Daybook, which I’ve read several times on Amy’s blog. Outside my window… it’s [...]"

Superwoman Wannabe
June 25, 2009" I have a picture in my head of myself as a wife and mother. It involves basic elements of housewifery which I know are my responsibility – cooking, doing laundry, cleaning, and making beds. My mental image also includes much more than the basics. Every morning, I will rise early, get ready for the day, and [...]"
