You are my Sun, my Moon, and all my Stars @livingsimplyhappy - Tumblr Blog

Hi! My name is Anika and this is where I post about being a homemaker! A little about me- I'm 24, married, and pregnant (due in April! 🥰). My husband is in the army for now, but he'll be out next year and we'll be moving back to our hometown in Minnesota. My family has a little homestead, and we plan on taking it over some day. I love baking, sewing, gardening, and holistic health!

While I have a traditional marriage, I am not anti-feminism. I don't support racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, or islamophobia.

I love sitting down to crochet or knit while watching TV. Something about it feels very human. Like how many of my ancestors spent time weaving and stitching, creating little useful items with their hands while listening to the stories of the day? Something about it feels so connected to a past I have no real tangible connection to and its beautiful.

This right here. This is exactly it. This is hoe it feels.

One of the things, that you feel your ancestors touching with you.

I love seeing men gush about their relationships and the women they love. It’s time for the whole trope of men hating being married/ viewing relationships as things holding them back. Amen for men uplifting their women and their relationship. Amen for men getting choked up and ready eyes thinking about the one they love. Amen for men thinking of the woman they are with as their best friend.

Marry a man who only has eyes for you. Marry a man who can control his gaze from the temptations of the world because he respects you. Marry someone who will go the extra mile to make you feel loved because if it isn’t raw, passionate, deep love… it isn’t worth it. Marry a man who hears the change in your voice and recognizes that you’re hurting inside. Life is too short to have a love that is ordinary. Marry someone who doesn’t need his body to touch you because sometimes words are more than enough to make us feel things we have never felt. Marry someone who recognizes how special your heart is and treats it with the utmost care and love. Don’t marry someone who is reckless with your emotions.

Don’t settle. Don’t accept less than you deserve because you deserve a love that takes you to places you never even imagined. This love doesn’t always come easy, it takes work… but falling in love with this person will be effortless.

a man whose presence allows you to feel safe, soft and in total surrender.

I’m honestly just going to start only buying dresses. Trying to find cute outfits is too much work and gathering a bunch of cute dresses is easy, plus they’re always good for work or leaving the house in general

Best advice a vintage book gave me was:

You should always be dressed, like you expecting guest. Not the high class guest - but guest you like and want to look nice to. With a nice dress and a simple, but nice hairstyle (mostly clean hairstyle) you get this easily every day. So. If you not up to some really dirty work - throw yourself into some nice sweet clothes (think about a nice little coffee and cake meeting with you're parents, In - Laws and maybe grandparents) and you're good. If you clean, where a apron. If you about to go out, just put the apron away, maybe put on a bit of jewerly and you're fine to go out! Worked for me every time!
