Can I Be Honest For A Moment...

I find it really hard for many to relate to me, my blog, my conversation for long because I MUST be honest. Sometimes honesty isn't the best thing to say, so I try to choose the nicest words, but it never fails that someone is disenchanted by my thoughts expressed.

The reason why I haven't posted anything for so long, assuming there's anyone wondering, is that I find many bloggers to be very condecending, unrealstic, extemist, and judgemental. While I can appreciate the rhetoric of housekeeping, homeschooling, etc. I think it's just as important for us women who are avid "enlightners" of the such to keep it real. Life is so much more than just the same two topics many want to beat with a hammer weekly.

If you're having a hard time following how I feel about self righteousness, check out this post.

I hope I am being clear that not everyone in blogland is how I just described, but I do feel as though I am part of the minority here. Really, I enjoy reading varied opinions, but without pride and haughtiness I find more often than not . I am really contemplating on terminating my account. There's just little room for a third p.o.v. You're either one extreme or the other. Anything in between is just straddling the fence; how absurd!

I'm just wanting to connect with other mothers/wives who believe in a balance as I do.

If you're out there...

I'm too excited...

This always happens to me around the holidays, but there's so many things I am busking to do.

1) Learn to knit

2) Learn to maintain a garden- ok, not just flowers, but also food. I would like for our garden to be the source of at least 50% of what we eat, which would mean we'd have a mostly veggie diet. Also, I'd eventually like to help my church launch a community garden in which we do like a weekly farmer's market or something...

3) Learn to sew- I feel horrible that I can't

4) Learn to bake (real cakes, not Duncan Hines...though nothing's wrong with that every once in a while!)


These are just some of the things I think would be cool to learn and also help me mature in my virtuous process, as I call it...the process of becoming the woman God ordained for me to be according to His word.

Wish me luck! :)
