Feminists Hate Motherhood. Here's Why.
Plus, A.V. Club is this Thursday!
Hello friends and happy Tuesday! I hope you’re doing well today and that you have a wonderful week ahead of you. I had a wonderful Sunday with my family celebrating my birthday and it was a blast. I still can’t believe I live so close to everyone that we can just have an impromptu birthday party whenever we like! How cool is that?
As I sit here writing on my computer, my son is playing with his rattle next to me. He is lying in his playgym, his head cradled in his boppy, looking over at me every so often and smiling as I make faces at him. He is hitting all his developmental milestones, gaining weight well, and has yet to have any screen time. I nurse him to sleep because my schedule is flexible; he doesn’t take a bottle because, for the most part, he doesn’t need to; and even though he doesn’t sleep through the night quite yet, I don’t mind because if I really need to take a nap, I can.
This is the life I dreamed of - being actively involved in my children’s lives while also being free to work from home. I am learning how to become a better homemaker; I am loving motherhood; I’m even considering homeschooling if it makes sense for us.

This Month’s Book Club Selection!
I’m excited to share this month’s book club selection! This month we are reading non-fiction (we switch up month-to-month) and the book we will be reading is…The Lifegiving Home: Creating A Place of Belonging and Becoming! I’ve been wanting to read some books about homemaking, and this looks perfect. It’s from a Christian perspective, so for my Christian followers, I think you’ll really enjoy that part of it! I can’t wait to discuss it with you all.
THIS THURSDAY: A.V. Club at 8:30 PM EST
TOMORROW at 8:30 PM EST is our A.V. Club discussion where we will be talking about Little Women. Make sure to watch both movies (the 1933 version and the 1994 version) before then and I look forward to hearing what you think! If you’d like to watch it with your friends, have them join the fun by becoming premium subscribers.

Classic Style Inspo
I had never thought about wearing brown until a few months ago, but I got a comment recently that I look uniquely good in brown and ever since then I’ve embraced the color! Try colors that you would never think of wearing and see how they work on your skin tone - you may find that you really like them!
Things I’ve Been Loving: Folex Stain Cleaner
Okay, so technically this is a carpet spot remover but, man, I use this on pretty much EVERYTHING! I use it on my furniture, on my rugs, on my carpets - even on my clothes before they go in the washing machine. This stuff is MAGIC!
