I Am Looking Forward To A New Beginning And A New LifeMy husband got a new job! For over ten years, he toiled and struggled with a job at Walmart. It was okay at first. It paid the bills. It drove him insane, but he managed to get through it okay for the sake of survival. But ever since he transferred... See More »
I Like to CookSo I just made my first pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin! Well, technically, my husband made the pies, but I made the pumpkin puree’. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I’ve yet to taste the results, but they looked awesome. So I went off... See More »

I Hate DebtI cut up my credit card yesterday. For immediate context, my fiancé and I are taking a financial course, Financial Peace University, through our church. And last night was the wonderfully fun “you don’t actually need a credit card” lesson. And to... See More »
I Like to CookI really love cooking, as does my fiancé. Every night we can be together (sadly only two nights a week, due to scheduling) we try to cook. Here are just a few things about how we like to cook. I love trying to be multicultural. I've made Pirozhki... See More »
I Struggle With My Body ImageI deal with the basic stuff, the way everyone does, I guess. My weight bothers me (5'8" and ~245lbs), my hair bothers me(dry and rough when clean, oily and gross when dirty), my skin bothers me(moles, stretchmarks, little red bumps on my legs,... See More »
I Have a Suggestion for Similar WorldsI would really like it if stories could have a word-count filter I could click.
