"Falling Back in Love with America" with my husband// 4th generation with no SS# // 21st century woman with third world values // Hostess of Living Room Academy
RW men hating on single mothers is so gross and inconsistent and evil. I have a young friend who married a supposedly good man. Five weeks after their son was born she found out he was secretly transitioning. She's now postpartum and financially responsible for their kid
My Grampa, who I've always admired, sent me a long email telling me he won't be attending the wedding nor supporting my marriage because I'm dishonoring him and God by marrying a Catholic man. The hatred between churches NEEDS to stop. There's no way the Holy Spirit approves
a woman approached me at the train station the other day, "I've never tried riding a bike in a skirt. Is it hard?"
"No, it's actually a breeze, because I learned how when I was a small girl."
A thread on wearing skirts while doing practical activities:
The Elder Sister (1869) by William-Adolphe Bouguereau
I think it's sad that this painting won't resonate with most modern first-world firstborn women. Either they never had a sibling to care for, or if they did, the mother was convinced it would harm her daughter to do too much
The Herkimer diamond occurs only in a thin seam between the Adirondack Mountains and the Erie Canal. Yesterday, I put a tiny piece of the land I love most onto the finger of the woman I love most. She said yes!
This summer I'm hosting four to six girls in my home for two weeks to offer them the extraordinary opportunity of learning the things they wish Grandmother taught them!
DM for more details on how to help, or tag a Podcaster that should interview me!
Retweet to spread the word!
Falling in love should feel like an irrefutable proof of the existence of God and like a testament to His benevolent genius. Nothing about it is ambivalent or half-hearted, I am not 'of two minds' about her, I am unequivocally hers, forever, until my life is over. Period.

the world hates children so much they don't want them visible in any sphere and that's why they fear-psyop parents out of posting pictures of their kids' faces online. like who cares if someone has devious AI plans for your kids' face? The world needs to see your child's smile
Over 5 years ago I needed something to lift me out of a mindset; so I began this quilt. Five years I told myself then, needing it to bear a chunk of time
I finished last night... feeling sad, but satisfied
Completely hand sewn with knitted & tatted lace and embroidered baskets
someone asked me after noticing that my husband always pays and I carry no purse, "do you and your husband have a financial agreement?"
Lol what a strange world we live in
I have another friend whose husband died instantly in a car crash when she was six months pregnant with their second child. I can only imagine how scary it was for her to be suddenly the sole provider of two children. Thankfully a good man from her church married her a year later
I love how chill this man is, and how he just rolls with all my spontaneous, wild endeavors... and how he tells me to drop it all when I haven't realized we've both had enough
When i say my dad has never cussed I mean that if we break down on the side of the road between Missouri and Montana in SD he gets out and quietly repairs the wheelbearing without getting angry or saying anything vulgar even tho it puts us hours behind
ISO of a husband for my sister. Eligible men may DM me or Andy.
She's 25, raises goats, repairs fences, and is a homebody, businesswoman, and dog lover.
You must be goofy, willing to raise kids without social security numbers, loyal and honest, and an open-minded Christian.
There's a reason there's a procedure for this sort of thing in the Bible where the nearest male relative was obliged to marry destitute mothers. But now men want to whine about what they feel like doing instead of submitting to nobility
Building codes are a psyop that
• create "housing shortages"
• make homes artless and robotic
• keep the poor wretched while the rich continue to make their houses larger
• chip away at money you could've invested into more books, or linen dresses for you wife
Just finished this darling custom communion dress made out of quality cotton lace and linen twill. Fully lined in cotton and French seamed. What more could a little girl want?
My mother and I stayed past midnight last night sewing a wedding dress for my brother's fiancée because the dress she ordered looked like a popped balloon... they're getting married today at noon!
I think book hoarders are intuitive prophets who know that the age of the printing press is coming to an end and that someday it'll be very hard to find things to read but maybe our children and our neighbor's children will know where to go
People who unnecessarily police others need to be shamed
I returned with my card and ID, told her to give me the beer, and restated that I didn't drink and shouldn't have to carry ID
I made sure she felt very uncomfortable
Maybe it's overkill, but it's important Karen never wins
People didn't use to tell a young woman, "Wait until you have kids" because the average young woman had already raised half of her siblings and cousins. She knew what she was getting herself into
I finished my wedding veil last week. Silk gauze with fresh water pearl beading, silk tatted lace, and silk embroidery. It was a spontaneous, free-hand design that sprung to life when a couple months ago I realized, "Oh, I should make a veil too!"
My bookshelves are bare, and my floors are naked ... and somehow still managed to make a delicious meal out of scraps and host the last guests I shall feed in this home
Goodbye, sweet little house
In an effort to normalize you, they tell you,
"You'll never find a woman/ man who wants what you want."
When you do, they say,
"Your lifestyle will be impossible with kids."
When it's not, they use force
"You may NOT raise your kids like this."

"Occasional rare couple" here. It seems to be rarer and rarer. Many of us exist. The world is full of literal millions of women who just care about love and don't want fancy cars and giant houses.
Sometimes I wonder, how can he exist if I don't exist? But then I remember these sweet things are akin to stepping out of reasoning and into the dreams our faith shall establish
Both blessed and filled with luck 🥰😭
I've returned home.
Every mile of the journey hangs beneath my all-night highway eyelids. The waitress asks if I'm hungover: "whatever the opposite of hungover is, that's what I am."
The hydrangea dressed up for my return. I staggered to bed at dawn, astonished I made it.
Labor for kids:
Start them out at a young age doing repetitive, boring things that don't require your full presence. This is how they learn diligence
Churning butter
Washing walls
Sorting buttons, nails
Untangling rope, ribbon
Washing floors by hand
Gathering trash in the yard
I've read stories about men doing interesting things without their wives and I wondered why those women would choose to stay behind!?
i love how natural it feels to be with him no matter where we're at, and I'm so excited to follow this man anywhere and everywhere we might go
It's so great when two people with separate dreams find ways to make those dreams happen together. Doing so much that I've never been brave enough to do alone! And doing it in such a wondrous, friendly place!! Newfoundland is truly a glorious place to honeymoon + hitchhike
Custom linen skirt and cotton apron combo x4 I made last week. Want to say dm me if you want custom clothes but abt to have my wedding, so BM this and remember to reach out in a month or so
Wearing dresses is a huge part of our feminine culture - it takes grace, skill, and confidence to maneuver in a skirt, and it's a power move in this day and age to continue to be able to do anything anyone else is doing BUT in a dress.
My sisters and I mercilessly mocked those books when we were young. If you grow up wearing dresses you intuitively know how to operate; you don't question whether or not pants would make it easier... bc you literally can do all things as well as the boys and LOOK Better to boot
I was a teatotaler before I met Andy but he likes his beer, and I'm not raging feminist
Today at Walmart, he showed his ID for a box of beer but the cashier pointed to me
"I don't carry ID," I tell her. "It's not mine."
so she takes the beer, as if ready to bring back temperance
My grandma drove over twenty hours to hang out with us women in the kitchen post-wedding and she's wearing an apron I sewed and embroidered for her when I was fifteen 🥹
The first course at the Livingroom Academy is finished, and I share this with a great reminiscent joy. My first ladies were the most wondrous students I could have asked for, becoming dear friends and showing themselves ready and able to build beautiful community.
@leah_hat
i hate AI, I hate porn, but i also hate the idea of a world that hides children. As the daughter of parents who didn't buy into the lie that sheltering kids = better, I'm not traumatized (neither are my siblings) for having our pictures shared
@credenzaclear2
a guy recently asked me for my number while i was sitting next to my husband, and I didn't know how to answer, so I said, "I never answer my phone, but you can ask my husband for his number if you want to stay in touch with us"
I went to a woman's brunch today that had Amish, home-churched home school moms and daughters, both old order and regular Mennonites, and women in jeans and makeup. It was a five minute walk from the house. I've found the bubble that's gonna make it.
